Great post, Gocchin. Thanks! What's the general take on Royal Collection drivers in Japan, especially the recent FD model? So the FD is not one of the best selling drivers in Japan, and is it because they're too expensive? RC fairway woods are so superior that I have to think they must make great, if not the best, drivers.

TourStage X-Drive 405 was the hottest driver I've tried. I've recently tried the 430P and the 435 but they both were not as good as the 405. I had one at 9.5* with M-65 and it was the longest driver I've ever tried. I'll probably try the same head and shaft with X flex this time. You might want to try 8.5*. Good luck!

Thanks, gocchin.

I need a Zodia 58 with high bounce (12*+). Where should I look? There are some shops that sell Zodia in the US but they only offer 52, 56, and 59 (and the 59 has 9* bounce). I prefer the US Spec version because they feel heavier. Is there a way I can get a 58-12+ US Spec Zodia wedge?

E-mail sent.

Couldn't find it in the Pro Shop and even some threads are missing the pictures. For example: http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/index.ph...&hl=m+stamp

Title says it all. Wish I could order a brand new set from Chris but wife says I can only buy a used set. She allows me to buy a used set because she know, from what I've been telling her, that it's almost impossible to find a used set. So, help me win!!! Anyway, it has to be MP-33, and shafts/specs don't matter. Heads only preferred. Matching M-stamps wedges will be great also. Let me know. Edited: No longer looking.

Thanks! I'm putting some stiff 83 blueboard pullouts in Callaway X hybrids. How much should I tip them to make them play true to flex? They're borethru heads and finished lengths will be 40.75" (18*), 40.25" (21*), and 39.75 (24*).

You're absolutely right, AJ. But it's funny because it's you that said that. You're the one who are selling all the expensive stuff on BST.

I got a couple of Diamana 83 Blueboard Flowerband pullout shafts and I need to know how much they were tipped. Is there a good way to tell? For example, how long is an uncut shaft from tip to the flowerband (or any other better reference point)? Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking of getting some new irons and my final two candidates are Mizuno M-Stamp MP-33 and Miura MB-5002. Let's assume that their prices are the same. Which one would you choose and why? Help me out!

What kind of finish do they have? Kinda hard to tell from the pics.

Does anyone know What the bounce angle on Zodia KM Tour 58* wedge is? I currently have a 52* and 59* but both of them seem to have minimal bounce so I don't have a good club for sand play. I'd like to get a 58* if it has 12-14 bounce.

I'm thinking of getting a set of Miuras also. I'll probably get MB-5002's though. Are these satin finish by any chance?

I really like the look of Miura WMF-3 wedges. It looks like they're available at 53* and 58* but I cannot find bounce angles. Can anyone let me know?

Does this mean Sonartec heads are made in China? Can anyone confirm?

As far as I know all the Soanrtec heads are made in Japan by RC.

Thanks, Duffer!

Title says it all. Sonartec just release a new hybrid called HB-001. What's this from the prespective of Royal Collection? It's different from the RC TD and thier website doesn't show anything like the HB-001.

It seems like it's called RC Tour TP. Surprised I couldn't find any information here. I'm very interested because I only use RCs for fairways. Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks for the offer but I need exactly the shaft described above. As for the other offer, I won't buy this club for $300. Check the market price before you make an offer. I myself sold one for $150 to a TSG member a few weeks ago.

I'm looking for the following items. 1. TourStage X-Drive 405 w/ Original Stiff Graphite Design 2. Diamana Blueboard 83 Stiff Pullouts (2) 3. Zodia 56* and 60* 4. Royal Collection Type H 16*, 17*, and 18* heads I have Mizuno MP-60 8-PW w/ DGS300 for trade. I also have a PRGR 220i 3 hybrid w/ Nippon 950 S for trade. Thanks!

Got a Proto GD that has the same head shape as M2+. Check BST here for pictures and let me know if interested.

Still looking.
