  1. Ok, Price Bump: $65.00 shipped and PayPal'd.
  2. That's a great set of new clubs you got there - congrats! Look forward to seeing your pics....
  3. Thanks Chris for clearing up the Couples "club switch." Is he going to stay with a TM driver or move over to Bridgestone or Callayway?
  4. The beautiful, classic Green Color scheme, still in the wrapper. This one has the following tip diameter: .350 Uncut 46" $65.00 shipped and PayPal'd! (CONUS Only) PM for paypal addy!
  5. CBS also had a blurb on their nightly news last week, and it was quite impressive. That dolphin was certainly jumping with joy after finally getting the right fit - took them several tries over there at the Bridgestone lab. Now where can I pick up a dozen of those new Bridgestone prototype golf balls that will give the ProV1x a run for its money in 2005...haha?! :bridgestone:
  6. No errors at all! I'm loving the TS commericals! :smile2: Now when can we have the Sirxon commericals as well as any TM, Mizuno, and Titleist ads from Japan??? I want to see them all...haha! THANKS CHRIS! :cool:
  7. Chris, As far as I know, here are the top TM Pros who are putting the new TP irons in the bag: Goosen (2-5 & PW; 6-9 still using his racMBs) Lehman Weir (traded in his trusty 300s) Funk (traded in his LTs) Perry (FINALLY traded in his 360s - about time Kenny...haha!) Sergio still using his rac MBs, Irwin was still using the LTs, Polter was still using his rac MBs, and Choi & Couples can't part with the 300s. Not sure what Clarke is using these days. Anybody know?
  8. Does this include new balls in the ProV class? Sure does! It's been confirmed that Titleist had a new ProV1 in play at the Tour Championship with seven players using it. Don't know exactly who but my guess is that Retief & VJ were two of the seven. :smile1:
  9. TSG is also not fully compatible with Safari either. The members section sounds killer. Anything that would make it easier for me to post pics in threads would be great! And of course, I can't wait for the golf commericals from Japan! :smile2:
  10. Jboy, get some GooGone and watch those ugly stickers melt away...haha!
  11. Only average, it will fade around the impact areas for sure. If it's anything like the X-Wedge Black, then yes, the black finish will wear off quite easily around the bottom half of the club - but I'm loving the look as it wears off!
  12. TOURSTAGE X-WEDGE 01 BLACK! They have completely taken my short game to another level...WOW! :love: :tourstage:
  13. Completely agree! WINN grips SUCK! Cheapest rubber compound used on the market. And if you are a range rat - STAY AWAY! Anybody who would pay $300.00 let alone $30.00 for a WINN grip are either ignorant or oblivious to the piss poor quality of a WINN (Hey Butch - they're crap...haha!). I went through two WINN A-17 grips with my 983K in less than a month, and the WINN that came with my TP Modena is pure junk. I replaced that one with a GD ION (yellow) and love it! :gauge:

    TOURSTAGE X-WEDGE 01 BLACK! No off-set, low grind, perfectly forged w/ 99.9% fe content, and a set of grooves that NO wedge can match. Shaved at least 3 points off my cap since I put them in the bag (as well as a few covers off some ProVs and Apexs). :tourstage:
  15. Thanks guys! I still haven't hit them yet since I have been busy with work, but yeah Friday is the day and it will be tough to take that first divot with these beauties...haha! I know I had a hard time breaking in my MR-23s when they first arrived from Japan! :love: And Breal, the satin finish is to die for :mizuno:
  16. I am not able to special order offset or topline or custom grinds, let me just make that clear before i get a dozen PM's asking for no offset Irons. Sorry Primo, you're right. These are the standard off-sets for the MP-37s as confirmed by Chris, but they are so minimal, that it's almost indistingushable from the off-sets of the MR-23s. I'll get some more pics posted asap showing both side by side at address to show just how close their off-sets really are. And yes, it is a custom satin finish with only an M-stamp with black paint fill! :love:
  17. Thanks Zojo! :laugh: I'm working on posting more pics at my yahoo account. Should be up tonight...
  18. First of all, many thanks to Chris & Mizuno Japan for making this special set of irons a reality! :logo: :mizuno: Total wait time from the day I ordered my set on-line from Chris to the time of delivery direct from Mizuno Japan to my doorstep was approximately 5 weeks - which is excellent. Ok, I wanted all standard lofts, lengths, and lies with aboslutely no off-set, and that's exactly what I got. I special ordered the awesome NS Pro 1050 stiff shaft and GP TV grips with "MIZUNO" down the side of each grip facing up. I can't begin to describe the AMAZING satin finish that these irons came with! The photos simply do not do justice to just how gorgeous these irons truly are! Included are a few pictures that show a comparison between the MP37s and the MR23s. If you want a particular picture of a different angle, just pm me. In-depth review coming soon...ENJOY! Ok, I apologize for not being able to get these photos to appear in the thread. I have created a photo album of the pics at my yahoo account and you don't need to sign in. Here is the link: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/thewelshfami...amily/my_photos
  19. That's sweet, Chris! Definitely better than pink...haha! :cool:
  20. Chris, what is and who makes this "G-Field 'Automatic'" putter that is part of your dream bag? Thanks! :wink:

    Chris, that would be simply AMAZING! Silver paint fill, oh man, now that's some serious "Ho-manship" right there...haha! Any kind of custom shaft as well, like an NS Pro 950 for a D3 or D4 sw? And can you order me a low bounce too? I feel another pm coming on very soon! :money:

    Chris, thanks for the thread. Titleist is Endo forged? WOW! That I did not know. :titleistjp: Oh, and btw, those new Mizuno Black MP wedges look awesome! Do you have an idea of what the price point will be when they hit the market? :mizuno: Thanks!
  23. TMMike replied to l8braker's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Seriously e, where do you get your info on Mizuno?
  24. DM, I made the same mistake, only I ended up ordering a set of custom Mizzy Japan MP37s in a satin finish from Chris! In the meantime, the MR23s are still working just fine for me. Personally, I love the smaller head size as I find it easier to work the ball in both directions and attack the ball from all kinds of different angles - especially if I want to keep the ball low in the wind with knock down and punch shots. And out of the rough, the MR23s are pure money! :love: It will be very fun to see if my new mizzy set can knock the MR23s out of the bag. I'll know soon as they're on their way from Japan as I speak!!! :mizuno: :tourstage:

    Chris, are you serious? I thought Mizuno Japan = Made In Japan, not Cambodia, Bangladesh, or something! I thought only TM Japan was out-sourcing their forgings to China and surrounding countries. Hummm, so all custom orders from Mizuno Japan really means another country from the Asian continent - even the forgings that create Tiger's irons? I guess their Grain Flow process could create some consistency whether the fires are in Japan or Bangladesh.
