Crazy Proto Wedges So the DWD wedges were serving me really well. Had them dialed in and am very comfortable with them…. But since I got the Crazy Proto irons, I thought why not get the Crazy Proto wedges to try as well. That Crazy tribal wing on the back looks cool enough. Crazy wedges… there seem to be quite a few versions but all I think done for Crazy by Kyoei and some ground by the famed Toyoshima. I know of at least 5 Crazy wedge variations: 1. Satin with some kind of rough milled face . 2. Raw unplated 3. Satin with satin face and no mill 4. Butterfly series which I understand is hand ground by Toyoshima 5. A second butterfly series release also hand ground by Toyoshima The ones I have are the first 2, both of which as I understand are NOT hand ground by Toyoshima. As you can see from the pics, 2 of mine with the rough milled face, also have ports in them. These I got used and came with Crazy Target Tour 110 wedge shafts. They are 58 bent to 59 and 52 bent to 55. The other 52 which I got new is bent to 51 and have a Shimada 110 wedge shaft in it.. I did not know it was raw or I would held out to find another like the previous 2. So how do these play….. I don’t know what the Toyoshima grind is and how different to these but these I tell ya are sweet! Feel wise, the Crazy’s feel softer to the DWDs which incidentally are shafted with Shimada 110 wedge shafts as well. While the DWDs are a tad firmer and clickier, the Crazy’s are soft, dense and solid! Now here’s the funny part… there’s a subtle difference in feel from the Crazy with the rough milled face and the raw Crazy. Could be down to the plating. The raw Crazy feels a tad firmer which I prefer less. Could be down to the lack of plating. Interesting to note also that the static weight of the DWDs are slightly lighter than the Crazys from what I recall. Static weight wise as well, the Crazy wedges flow on very nicely from the PW of the Crazy Proto Irons. Really very well done again by Kyoei! Grind wise, you can see that the Crazy’s have more heel and toe relief than the DWDs which already have quite a bit of. Leading edge relief is rather the same on both the DWD and Crazy but DWDs have more trailing edge relief. While the sole width of the Crazy and DWD is very similar, there seems to be a high muscle on the back of the Crazy vis-à-vis the DWDs. Perhaps that accounts for the weight and more solid feel and maybe designed to raise the CG as well? Offset on both are pretty much the same. Nonexistent with a nice long hosel, longer than the Miura and Epon from what I can recall and presumably for a higher COG. Size of the wedge and face as you can see with the 3 wedges on top of each other is the same. The DWD is the wedge on top. Spin wise, the DWDs spun well enough but the Crazy with the rough milled face… I mean look at it! Its Crazy! Crazy stopping power! The raw also checks up very nicely. What this means is PIN ATTACK! More than ever and with more confidence. Bunker shots for which I use my 59 is equally easy with the Crazy as is with the DWD. The only down side or rather adjustment I had to make from the DWDs are for bump and runs. I use my 54 for bump and runs for anything from 10yards to 22 yards out and 51 for 22 up to 33 yards out. Given how the Crazy’s check up more, the intensity of strength or length of the stroke had to be changed slightly but again you can go for the pin as there is less concern of it releasing way past the pin. Versatility wise I find the Crazy perhaps a bit more versatile for my swing and game. This may be due to the additional toe and heel relief but in the short stuff for quarter/semi/ full approach shots, bump and runs, out of rough, the occasional flop, bunker shots… all around great wedges. A lot better than the DWDs? No way but just a tad better for me given individual feel preference and the additional stopping power. Not sure what else I can say.. Great wedges, great grind despite the not be done by Toyoshima, paired with a great shaft in the Shimada NW110 that simply work consistently. Again, a long read for those interested. Up next should be the review of the RomaRo i-Brids which I am experimenting with shafts now and the P-Tune. Hopefully my putters will be in soon.

Played 9 holes. First hole cold was my usual straight push right. What is noticeable is the stronger and more penetrating ball flight of the P-Tune. There was hole unit wind. Hit 2 balls and the ball just seemed to pug through for just that much longer. Noticeable enough. Full review to come on the Summer Bag change thread in a couple of weeks but its still here so that says something from my pov. Going to try flatter neutral setup. Same 10.25 loft and neutral face angle.

Have cleared this with Tario. Don't fancy using a new Crazy for head testing so I'm selling this BRAND NEW Crazy TJ46 in 6.2 flex. Will be shipped in original Crazy box. Specs are found here : http://www.tourspecg...roducts_id=3187 Pictures tell all. Brand new. $OLD shipped by air post with track and paypaled. INSURANCE EXTRA. Thanks for looking.

The PDK is sweet... soooooo much better than the TIP that I had. I really can;t understand why Porsche stayed with the tip for the longest time. Not the fastest box around. Noted on the 360.

Nob, if you don't mind, pls pm me the place you get your sleeves from and how much. Thanks

Something you yoro guys may be interested in....

I'm told by hardcore Ferrari fans that the 360 Modena despite its age, is still one to own especially for a daily driver. Is That true? Must say it still looks good although a tad dated but that should be expected for something that launched more than 10 years (?) ago.

Chris, what;s interesting is due to our tax regime etc here, this would cost AT LEAST double the above here. You it good there actually :-) And yes, I can only dream but frankly I would probably go with a Lambo at that coin. Not that its necessarily better than the Ferrari but over here at least, the Lambo is a little less common I think and for that level of coin, that's probably something I would factor in as well... some of the Lambo owners however... need to factor that in as well LOL.

Crazy Proto Irons Review I was playing very well with my RomaRo H irons shafted with the Quadra Composite 652i shafts. I think what triggered the purchase of the Crazy Proto irons when someone posted questions on a current model Crazy Proto. I then recalled there was one with the Crazy tribal wing (I have this thing for tribal designs). Started a search, contacted Tario and the rest is history. Looks wise, which are highly subjective, the Crazy Protos are a relatively clean design compared to the stepped design of the RomaRo H irons. Not that one is better and in fact, it was the look of the H irons that got me to try them (and glad I did). The Crazy has a cleaner look which is contrasted by that Crazy Tribal wing. I find that appealing from an aesthetic point of view. What is also nice about the design and I did not know of this will I got them… and we are going a bit into forgiveness and performance now… is the progressive channel cavity. I thought this was a smart design. You can see from the pic below which features the 5I, 7I and 9I that the 5I has a full channel cavity from heel to toe to aid with ease of launch, the 7I has the channel only in the toe and heel area and the 9I has no channel and is very much blade like with a solid mass. The 4I and 5I have the full channel cavity, the 6I to 8I have the toe and heel cavity and the 9I and PW have no cavity. The depth of the cavity is also not like the Epon 702 cavity that seems to go to the sole. The depth of the cavity is perhaps maybe 2 or 3mm deep? A very smart progressive design I think. Face profile and size wise, as you can see very similar although the Crazy Proto are slight taller. So how do these feel? Ok.. again subjective… compared to the RomaRo H which are firmer and perhaps clicker relatively speaking, the Kyoei forged Crazy Protos are softer and more dense in feel but not Miura wedge like dense but a caveat here which I will get too…. Also not Epon soft which, depending on your orientation, may or may not be a bad thing. Ok.. the caveat… the feel part and going back to the smart progressive channel cavity design…. While it works from a play point of view, my first small gripe about these heads is in the area of feel… the muscle back like feel of the 9I and PW is second to none. On pure hits, they feel like the perfect harmony of being solid, dense, soft and responsive at the same time. FEELORGASM if I may coin the term! The 6I to 8I semi cavities have a similar feel but a tad less on what was described… still very solid though. The full channel cavity 4I and 5I have a slight clicky and least solid feel of the set… still not as clicky as the RomaRo H irons and better than any Ping iron by a mile but again, coming from the Feelorgasm 9I and PW….. it’s like… you know what I mean but still a great feel set overall. Next up is the offset… from the pics where I featured the 9I, 7I and 5I of the Romaro H and Crazy Protos side by side, the Crazy Protos have just that much more offset compared to the RomaRo H irons. Nowhere close to the offset of the Epon Personals and maybe close to the Epon Technica Pro Is/301/302s. The Crazy Protos also have a slightly thicker topline but they are thin nonetheless. The soles of the Crazy Protos are only just slightly thicker and seem to have less (they still do just less) leading edge relief to the H. Heel and trailing edge relief seem about the same although the H has just that bit more trailing edge relief and off course o the toe, H has that cut out. Back to hosel offset…My second and last minor gripe is in this area. If the Crazy Protos had offset like the RomaRo H irons, they would be as close to a nirvana set for me. That however would affect the next area of comparison.. forgiveness….. The Crazy Protos seem just that but more forgiving than the H but looking at both, you would expect that. Mis hits on the toe are not that bad in terms of end result. Some distance loss but they still go pretty much down the target line and the shock to the hands is also not that bad (compare to the MG 5001s I was crazy enough to think I could play quite a few years back. This had a real sting to bad hits) but that could be down to the graphite shafts absorbing the shock. Shot shaping, of which I only include fades and knock downs as I can’t command a draw to save my life… the H will probably have to take it here…. But not by a lot. Again I don’t think this would come as a surprise to anyone looking at these two sets side by side. That said, the Crazy Protos are easy enough to knock down, and punch which I unfortunately have had to do several times due to missed push fade drives ending up under trees. Fading the ball with them is also easy enough. Distance wise, although the Crazy Proto lofts are 1* stronger across the set, I would say the slight increase in distance is marginal.. its there on average but marginal. Again not surprising as 1* is supposed to yield maybe 4 yards extra distance on pure hits. Spin… the Crazy Protos spin more. Good or bad depends on your game. For me, that added spin gives better green holding not that the H’s can’t do that …just that the Crazy Protos are better and this means more confidence in attacking the pin. I have both sets set up identically spec wise.. both play to 37.5 for the 5I, same grips, same lie and same swing weights. Only difference is the shafts of which the RomaRo have Quadra 652i SR flex hardstepped once and the Crazy Protos have Quadra 752i R flex (they only come R while the 652is come in R, SR and S.. strange) tipped half inch and hard stepped once. Despite the Crazy Protos slightly longer and deeper hosel which perhaps help stiffen up the shafts ever so slightly more, the 752s in this setup still feel a tad softer than the 652 setup in the RomaRo H. Quadras are a great irons shaft if you are looking for graphite. Smooth feel, long and great dispersion. I rate them better than the Crazy LY irons shafts that I have tried in the Crazy 4I and my hybrids especially in the feel and feedback department. Before I move on.. I jus wanted to give mention to Crazy AND Kyoei… the quality of the forging, finish and most importantly from a club fitting point of view, head weight consistency across the set is fantastic. Very little by way of tip weights required. I do have some lead weight in the cavity in the 9I and I think 4I but that is just me being extremely academic and pedantic and wanting my irons to be perfect SW wise and in both cases, they help with O.25 SW or less.. something most of use probably can’t feel but when you have access to all the club fitting equipment and know how to fit clubs, you can get Crazy, pardon the pun, over stuff like that. So do they help with scores… now we all know that its still down to the swing and golfer on that….. right? J….. well, I’m playing as well as I did with the Romaro H and just this past Monday shot a 79 with them which is inline with my current 8 Handicap. The verdict.. The Crazy Protos are definitely a keeper for me… so are the RomaRo H irons. The Crazy Protos are a very nice set, different, unique enough (don’t think I will bump into anyone soon playing them), hard enough to explain (Crazy? WTF you talking about?!) and they perform… so much so, I decided to get the Crazy Proto wedges… that will be the next review. For those interested, hope you enjoyed the long read.

You are bad for the PayPal balance lol. Sent you an email on some stuff. Let me know. Thanks

Anyone have the tip trimming instructions for the UST Mamiya Attas International Series Hybrid shafts? Thanks.

If ever a reason was needed Craig LOL! Will try to post the review on the Crazy Proto irons tomorrow.

Stew, I agree with you on this being better into the wind than expected. We don't get major head winds here but enough to need to hit lower drives, knock downs etc. Teeing the ball lower and punching it, I'm surprised how much lower a trajectory one can get. Distance loss is there but not too much and into the wind, one would expect distance loss anyway.

The silver lining.... makes you look like a real PLAYAH! :-)

Mikey, I THINK, given your ongoing love affair with the 435, between the P-Tune and Maxima, you'd probably get along with the P-Tune. This is not to say in anyway that the Maxima is not as good a driver as the 435. Just that between the P-Tune and Maxima, the P-Tune is more in the mold of the 435. I'd be interested to try the TrpX as well.. then again, I'm interested to try most anything new LOL.

OK.. just a quick interim RANGE only review of the P-Tune PG313. Brought my 435 with TJ46 and my Maxima with Max WBQ55 to hit side by side. Hit a total of about 50-60 balls for all three. Some range rocks first get some swing consistency for all three. Not swing too well today. Was hitting the irons a tad thin during warm up. Apart from range rocks, also had some beat up Nike One Tours, Cally Tour Ix and Is, Tour 56, some BS B330 RXS, Tourstage X-01 variants and couple of 2012 Pro V1s. P-Tune setup to 10.25* in upright setting which as I read P-Tune's site is also netutral face angle. Shaft in the P-Tune is a Max WBQ 55 playing to about 45.25 with a 50 gram Iomic sticky grip. Swing weight at D 1.75. Feel of the P-Tune is in between the harder face of the 435 and the softer Maxima. Sound is a lower pitch track, very different to the higher pitch ting or the 435 when one is not hitting well. P-Tune is a plug-and play driver. No need to change setup position, swing, tee height etc unlike my "favorite" 388 :-). Trajectory, 435 at a true 10* is still the lowest, Maxima the highest and P-Tune in between on average. Again, while 435 is lowest ad Maxima is highestm they are by no means absolute low and absolute high. Just lower and higher. I would say about 0.5* loft wise would be the range. P-Tune can be hit high(ER) as well. Roll... all had good roll and its hard to difference at the range where it ends with uncut cow grass and a slight uphill gradient but despite these conditions, all 3 still had roll. Carry... 435 is not the best at carry for me and this is where Maxima and P-Tune outdoes the 435. Overall distance... the range ends at 235 meters or approx 258 yards.. All 3 managed to hit balls out on the roll with Maxima and 435 carrying closest to the tip I would say about 220-225 meters or approx 241-247 yard yard carry on pure hits. Forgiveness... 435, not that its absolutely unforgiving but amongst the 3 is the most unforgiving. Pulled the Maxima left about 3 times today. P-Tune did not go left at all. Straight or straight push no fades but the straight pushes carried long. So no verdict for now as I need to take P-Tune to the course but unlike the 388 and the TP-07S which I immediately deemed ill fit for me and got rid of right away, the P-Tune I would say for now, as I said when I first got Maxima, she's got a lot of potential... and Maxima is still with me. Also, a side observation, I am quite sure now that Quadra's, both the FEX and Max WBQ seem to run 1/2 to almost a full flex softer than even the Crazy Noir range. Maybe its due to the P-Tune's 1/4 inch shallower insertion depth. Full review after a few rounds on the Mid Summer's Bag Change thread in due course.

Your wedges look like you've hit thousands or shots with it. I would have expected the color to wear off but not the milling.

That's been my beef with LMs... not the technology but how they are operated. Most I have been to have been juiced up and some just not setup correctly.. in both cases, any numbers are totally useless...

Not the best thing to do smack in the middle of the playing season but what the heck, its pretty much a year long playing season here anyways ... just a case of hot and humid or cooler and wet LOL. So it started with a the irons. I was (and still can I hope :-) playing really well with the RomaRo H irons paired with the Quadra Composite 652i SR flex shafts hard stepped once. Can't quite recall how the change came about but I contacted Tario for previous set of Crazy Proto irons. Tario being Tario, he managed to get me a set and that started the sea change.... So since I got Crazy Proto irons and have been reading about the Crazy Proto Wedges, I thought why not get the wedges too despite the fact that my DWD wedges were (and still will I hope) serving me very very well. So 2 Crazy Proto Wedges came in.... Then I got caught up in the Gold's Factory write-ups... I have always been a tad skeptical about what exactly Gold's does to enhance performance .. I know they can make a putter look really good but make it roll better, more true? Spoke with Tario and although my George Spirits Mono 3 Style 3 putter was working very very well, I thought what the heck, if I'm going to be skeptical about Gold's at least I can feel for myself first hand what they do and see if skepticism carries on after that... My putter is ow with Gold's. Then I started looking at the PRGR Egg HD, the most expensive club by shot count in my bag... why? I use it off the tee maybe 96% of the time and I think maybe only hit less then 10 shots after the deck. Its monster long off the tee but again, there are some rounds that I never ever use it... lets pass that along ... and leave out a FW... what then for tight par 4 when I need more length off the tee but dont want driver? Let's get a strong hybrid... In comes RomaRo i-Brid 17*... Wait, then what about my trusted PRGR Egg 3I+19*, it only 2* from the i-Brid 17*? Ok. get a RomaRo i-Brid 20*., nice gap to my 22* 4I too. Now in the meantime, I'm putter less so I start looking for a quick replacement. Didn;t seem to find anything interesting save a Piretto Proto which I duly passed on... this has now put me on the road to custom putters so help me... have never bothered much about putters. Lived with my China made Yes Callie for years and that was decent enough... my GS putter while JDM is still pretty much boutique stock and then I stumbled on Machine.... interesting... started the email process with them and a few nights ago, got on the phone with them in Texas and custom order placed and in the works.. Should get that by end Sep. And all this time, good ol Nobmontana, Akapur and then backed up subtly by Tae's posts about the P-Tune.. Pigeon Golf?! WTF?! Pigeon?! I'm so suckered into this JDM stuff it ain;t funny anymore... Never had an adjustable driver ... EVER! Feel its BS. Got my P-Tune last week. I thought it looked nice in the net but in the metal, I must say, the matte grey/black finish of the face and sole is very nice. Stealthy suave... Pigeon?! Had a spare TJ46 which I was going to put into P-Tune... chanced on a used Max WBQ 55 and that is a very nice, consistent, tight smooth and can-be-long shaft.. Put her in last Sat. Will get a chance to hit her at the range tomorrow. So there you have it, started with irons, then wedges, then putter, then hybrids, the another putter, then driver... oh yes.. and there's a new bag waiting to for a while... For those interested, will post reviews in this thread in the above order and will start with the Crazy Proto Irons and Proto Wedges first and in the order of the bag change to give all some rounds. All of the above are either incoming or still around and I'm very quick to sell what I feel does not work... A mid summer's bag change... shot a 79 with some of the above today ... not a bad change so far...

Will do but with regard to the 388, I think it's been documented that for ME, its an absolute dog.

Decided to go with a quadra max wbq 55 first. The insertion into the sleeve seems rather shallow at about maybe slightly over an inch compared to the 435, D1 and Maxima. Shaft should play a little softer given this. Have a tj46 on standby as well. She playing to just over 45.25 finished length with a 5 gram weight in the sole and a 50 gram grip. Swing weight is D1.75. Have gone with the 10.25* upright option. Have not hit it yet and probably won't till tues at the range. Will be bringing my Black Widow and Enigma to hit side by side. I'm hoping the P-Tune plays well enough for me to give her a nick. Lets see how she goes.

I'm really excited about it. Hopefully the end product doesn't disappoint. So far, machine has been fantastic to deal with despite me being half way around the world from them and 12 hours apart. Also really looking forward to my GS to return from golds factory. In the meantime, I'm putting with my 4I lol

I would agree not that I have owned many in the past. For exotic and highER reliability, I think its the 911 as well and that's what I'm thinking of getting again but not the Turbo.

Excellent and congrats! I've sent in my George Spirits Mono 3 and can't wait to get her back and see what Sasaya-san does with her.
