  1. From just the pics, I think the original Egg looks a lot smoother to me. Having the "Egg" logo plastered on the back, bottom and side does not do anything for me. I would consider it only if it really out performed the original version.
  2. Gocchin - I noticed in your sig that you use a light Falcon 53 shaft in your spoon. Must be part of the reason why it is long. I viewed your excellant review on the spoon on Ytube. Good work! I viewed some other egg spoon videos and they were using light weight shafts also. Is this a trend in Japan to use very light weight shafts in fw and are the swing weights light also? Are the PRGR shafts that come with the spoon similar in weight? Thanks
  3. Well, just keep telling yourself that good things are worth waiting for. :) I guess the spoons are in demand.
  4. Thanks for the fast replys! Anything to consider when deciding between a 15* and 17*?
  5. I got through reading all the reviews on the PRGR Egg and it sounds like you cannot go wrong with this club. Deciding between the 15* or 17* and will go with the stock shaft as I swing regular flex shafts -- 88 mph. I am leaning toward the 15* as I do not have problems getting a 3 wood up in the air. I was wondering if anyone knows how long it takes to take delivery of the club. You know how golfers are. Once they decide on something, which may take a while, then they cannot wait to get it in theirs hands. By the way, how are the stock PRGR shafts? Thanks, Ken
  6. Anyone know where I can purchase Perfect Pro golf grips online? Thanks
  7. No golf shops close to Japan Town. A lot of nice resturants though. If you are looking for Japanese golf clubs, the best bet is this site or Ebay. Years ago, there was one store in downtown SF (T.O.P. Golf) that carried a lot of Japanese equipment but, sadly, it closed. In the city, there are golf shops but they just carry regular domestic equipment.

    Just noticed this shaft from Roddio and wondering if anyone has used it. Looking for a shaft to use in a 46"+ driver.

    I am thinking about getting a fitting session that uses a Vector launch monitor. How reliable are they? Do they match what you do on the course? Thanks
  10. I checked in the TSG Pro Shop and they are listed at $734. Am I looking at the wrong place?
  11. Seen some glowing reviews on this driver and wonder if anyone here has tried it yet. Nice looking driver. Is it conforming? Thanks

    A club has to look good to me, both in the bag and in my hands. I use the TS-202 irons which are pretty clean looking to my eye. I just picked up a second set as back up as I do not like the current trend in iron graphics. I dislike badges and things just glued onto the club.
  13. Has anyone tried the new Tourstage irons yet? The C-1 version interests me. I have been using the TS-202s and wonder how they compare in performance.
  14. I never liked mallets until the 2-ball came along. My current stick is the Rife Barbados which works for me.
  15. Good point. Yes, those persimmon MacGregors were nice. I still remember Jack's green and white MacGregor tour bag. But today's equipment makes the game different shall we say.
  16. I have the Xcon 5 in my driver and have great results with it. Have noticed that Matrix has come out with some iron shafts and wondering if anyone has tried them.

    I have small hands and use Titleist Player men's small cadet gloves. I am looking at the Nowon grips and wondering if I should get the 48 or 50. Is there a difference in the texture and design pattern between the two. I currently use the Golf Pride Tour Velvet and it seems to fit me fine. Thanks, Ken

    I have a set of Tourstage TS-202 irons that I want to reshaft. N.S. Pro 950GH steel shafts are in them now. Does anyone know if the tips are parallel or taper? I want to put graphite shafts in them and I think there are more choices if the heads are set up for parallel tip shafts. Thanks.

    I have an AXIV 5056L shaft in a TM5TP set up at 46" overall length. It feels a little wipppy and the trajectory is a little high. How much should I tip the shaft? Thanks

    I wish to reshaft a set of Tourstage TS-202 irons and am looking for shaft suggestions. My index is 12 and I use regular flex clubs. SS with the driver is 85-90.
  21. Gocchin -- so is that a picture of the EMB in your sig? In one thread, someone mentioned that it would be square.
  22. Looked at the site under "News" and it looks like they plan to come out with a "High MOI Driver:TBA."
  23. I am waiting for the Island Series to come. Especially the Barbados mallet.

    What is the difference between the Odyssey 2ball blade and the blade2? I think the blade2 is the Japan version of the putter. I see that the blade2 is in the steel version but is it available in the original white hot version.
  25. I alway thought or felt that the Mizuno clubs sold in the US are second to the ones marketed in Japan and Europe. For example, the MS series vs. the MP series (US). I saw an MX-23 that sold in Japan and the finish was much much better than the US version. But then, it listed at $1,300 in Japan. Quite a difference in price and also quality.
