Thanks stew!

One door closes, another opens. Life goes on. Just watch the s yard door closely...

Thanks Chris. No need to have me in mind although it is appreciated. I'm only a small on the wall with a funny way of thinking :-) That Kobe Beef looks the bomb though! Although I'm not a foodie, I think the next time I visit Tokyo and if indeed the restaurant is in Tokyo, I'll PM you for the addy.

Thanks Mark. Its really very very minor and I would say negligible but I just want to be transparent! May you be straight and long with the F3 FEX! :-)

Which head? Who is Reggie and what;s his handle? Thanks.

Good marketing video which shows the quality of his finish and I am glad it is upfront and Sasaya says he "modifies and tunes" putters and does not make them. I can see why many like the finish but the performance enhancement I think "I" still need convincing that it does not, as with many things in golf, exist between the ears due to placebo. A good analogy with the mango daiqs... a good daiq depends on who and how it is mixed but at the end of the day, it still depends on the quality, freshness, taste of the mangos, purity of the water just as in putter which must start with a good blank and quality of steel...failing which, the nicest bling weights and sand blasting etc can only do so much if anything at all performance wise.

No more space in the spare bag and some other stuff still coming in. 1. Crazy (made by Jbeam) 435. I have 2 435s and still keeping one. This is the Crazy branded black head. STILL a legendary head that performs. Has a strong trajectory and the run on this is fantastic. Still the longest head for me which is why I am still keeping one. Right hand 10* true loft and is square to my eye. Face and sole have less than its fair share of wear. Crown is in good condition but I need to highlight 2 small dull patches near the toe. I didn;t notice it till recently (that's how insignificant they are) and hence its really hardly noticeable. Seller did not highlight to me but its no big deal really and I think a polish may solve that. I just wanted to highlight this for transparency. Have tried my best to capture it in the pic. Selling this HEAD only. NO HEADCOVER. $OLD. 2. Kitada KG002F SUS303. A great Right hand 358 gram head with fantastic extreme face mill that produces a very very very true role that holds the line. I had a 28 or 29 putt round with this. I still find myself a tad more comfortable with my GS. Feel is best described as dense, soft yet solid. Very very good feedback. Kitada I read supplies the blanks to Golds Factory which so many are a fan of. Buy this and send this into GF for your custom bling but leave the face mill alone as this thing really delivers! Condition is as per pics which is in GREAT condition! Selling HEAD only. NO HEADCOVER. $old. Again, BOTH HEADS have NO HEADCOVERs. Interested forummers pls PM me for where you are and desired type of shipping if air post is not preferred. Thanks for looking.

It's on Ryoma's website now. Slated for a 24 April launch. 3 models and 3 different sole plate colors. Image of 3 models from Ryoma's website. http://www.ryomagolf.co.jp/2013/02/424.html

Not for me. Forgiveness still goes to ryoma, distance still to jbeam 435 and combination of the 2 to the romaro 460hx black for me. The t.388 is very nice but no big shakes for me. Just me of course.

Thanks for the write-up and good to hear this is working for you.

Are you playing the Black or the Gold? Yes, the 460 seems to hold up in the wind as good as the JBeam 435.

<p> </p><p> </p> <p> </p> <div>I think you will find the 460HX will very pleasantly surprise? Gold or Black. I dare say, with the right shaft, the 460HX black will out carry, out roll and overall outdrive even your non-conforming Ryoma ST and I know that is a tall order. As this is the T.388 thread, for me, the 460HX Black is just plain longer on all counts than the T.388. </div> <div> </div> <div>Have fun with the shoot out!</div>

Good to hear that its working for you now.

Fully agree! The 460HX is a gem of a driver and the Black has a very strng ball flight, great feel relative to the 435 and Kamui and boy does it have tons f roll as I found out recently on the course despite the wet conditions. Irons.. what can I say... the H irons continue to be fantastic! Great clubs that perform backed up by great design and styling cues for me and a sleeper of a brand for now. How I like it.

As social golfers, we will always have swing flaws. That is a given I think. I can;t put in 5 hours a day into golf with 1000 balls and 18 holes and hence acknowledge that I have to as a social golfer put up with swing flaws. That said, I do not think I have to change my less than perfect swing to fit any club. The clubs have to suit my game and swing which admittedly changes (for the worse) every now and then :-)

Nothing wrong with a 50s gram shaft in your FW if it works for you!

Adjusting club to fit swing, adjusting swing to fit club... hmmmm... never the latter for me.

Hi tomcat, I think the 513 and 531 are the new Royal Decor models.

It will definitely feel different. The 435R is a loud tingy thing to begin with. Yes, hot melt/foaming/cotton balling etc will change that BUT you will also change not just the sound but the playing characteristics of the head which may not be what you want. Personally, I would not hot melt/foam etc any head as you can;t control with any precision how the CG, balance etc will be affected. If the loud ting of the 435R puts you off, best to just move away form it but I recall reading you like the performance so I'd suggest you just need to put up with the sound (or get ear plugs :-) )..Just me of course.

Hmmm.. I must say the functional design and thought of this wedge is really interesting. I think this is a more interesting release than the T.388 from the new S-Yard for me. Although there isn;t a natural fit for me with the various loft/bounce option really, I think I'll have to give one of these a run at some point.

I've heard good things about the iron shafts as well but have yet to try them.

I just got my Roddio M6 shaft today and the paintwork on the shaft is really fantastic. Much much better than the WBA series I played a while back and those were already good. The Roddio and the R logos have an embossed effect. A very smart looking shaft and I hope it suits me as good as it looks.

Woohoo! Congrats Tae. Get the club setup right for you (lie angles et al) and I'm quite sure you;ll find the H irons to be an underrated performer! Also, if by chance you don't play a 4I, do PM me a price for the 4I head only. PLay well my friend!

For me, shaft weight, flex and lie angle are probably the 3 most important elements to playing well consistently. A lot more important than swing weight assuming you;re not 7 swing weight points off :-) Glad to hear you found the right iron setup. Congrats and go low!
