OK, I see now. My brother did the same thing to some Callaway irons with his dremel tool. He then got carried away and went to the driver and ruined it. So I kind of put any dremel on golf club ideas out of my head.

That's satin-izing, not satan-izing. Lately, I have been seeing sets of z101s for sale that have been 'satinized'. Are they being sent out to be done, or is there an at home process to remove the chrome that people are doing? If you remove the chrome from a set of z101s are you not screwing with the swingweights and addiding the possibility of rust?

Is this the black mallet? What did you lengthen it to? Condition?

Did you ever find out if you can get your name scripted/etched on the soles like the Tourstage staffers?

Not that one. It's a cool putter, but I am not into putters made for a tour pro that are a completely different than the one they actually put in play. While that putter was made for TW, there was no way he would ever play it or play a similar set up. That alone turns me away from any idea of $10,000 for a putter. But people are crazy, more power to them. I cannot knock them. Thing is about Scotty's made for TW, there are more out there than one would think. I have had two pass through my hands and it was not hard to part with them. I was able to sell the putters, and buy 20 other tour camerons. And after further trading, in the end I still ended up with a two GSS Newports that were identical to TW's current putter. The only difference was no Tiger Woods stamped into the bumper. And guess what? I sold two of those too. Simply because the offers were too good to pass up. As a longtime collector of Cameron's some days I have a lot of passion, other days I don't care. It's cool when you uncover a rare putter, or one with a story behind it. But to throw around $10K just because you can to get a putter no one else has. I have been there, done that; that part of collecting is long gone for me. The only made for TW putter you would ever find in my collection is the one in his bag. Without some documented wins in the putter, it's not worth the crazy prices out there.

When will Japan learn that the "us vs the rest of Asia" mentality serves them no good in the long run? The U.S. is already finding out they do not just show up and win, you better be solid to take on a whole continent, but at least the U.S. is what, 20x the size of Japan??? Visa should save their money.

Does it have an underlined loft on the sole? "TITANIUM" on the toe? If it has those two items, it is a DF. Without those two items, it still may be a DF, but a rare one and possible refinished.

You ever try the X-01S ? Much better feel than the X-01 and not much difference in performance. I have not tried the S. My friend brought back from Japan a dz X-01s in the gold/black checker box. The ball performs like the new Bridgestone Ball that everyone is raving about. Except the X-01 does not have the garbage cover that scuffs whenever a wedge bumps into it like the BS Ball.

What an awesome golf ball. Is there an identical US branded ball in the market place today? Nike One Black seems very similar.

Armani, Maserati, Bettinardi??? LOL. I like Bettinardis, but that is one funny statement, not to mention a little full of himself. How about Luigi, Spaghetti, Bettinardi? :laugh:

As part of this wildly awesome custom process, can you request to have your name etched on the soles? Sort of like Izawa and the other Tourstage staffers have on their soles?

Scary thought with that wedge. You play nine holes all the while using the wedge a lot, picking up your orange ball cleaning it on a towel but getting rust on your fingers and under your finger nails. You eat a hot dog at the turn. You die by the 14th hole from poisoning. Was it the hot dog or the wedge? Funny idea for a contest, I can just see a lot of people spraying their oldest wedge with saline every hour in the sun.

Wow, I thought I got a good deal on mine, $675 shipped to have them this week is pretty damn good. Someone buy these.

When did TSG become an online dating service? We keep it golf related. DM gives me putters, I give him head. Anyone else looking to give away some putters? You'll have to wear a rubber or wait until my herpes clears, but send me a PM if you're intersted. LarryPro F'g with my B/S/T ad, just what gay friends are for. Well....I suppose to be politically correct, I have to pretend to have some gay friends. You two for the bill just fine. Biggie Smalls, and Smallie Smalls.

Fourteens and Mizzy wedges are sold....

It's funny how a bunch of club hos look at B/S/T ads daily but rarely do I sell a club here. They all end up on Ebay and the bids are better there, so I am not complaining. But as a good TSGr, here is the offer first for these clubs before Ebay later this week. Callaway X-18 Pro Series 3-PW with S300 shafts. 9/10 condition. About 5 rounds played. With an older set of Cally Vintage Wedges 52, 56, and 60 that are still in very good shape. Grooves are still sharp enough to get the needed spin. Rust has settled in. Also I will throw in a new Cally Vintage 48* wedge that is the forged + model, it looks better than the X-18 PW. 12 irons in all. $750 Tourstage X-Blades with S300s.

Gee Joe, you do have a future after you sell a Fuji to every golfer in the Bay Area. The Comedy Clubs cannot wait.....

No PM received, I think TSG is broken, I have not received any PMs for a long time.

I would like to find someone from UK or Spain that is coming to the US soon to bring something over for me. Perhaps it can be mailed, but I am not sure how creative that needs to be. Anyway, I am looking for Joselito Jambon Iberico. It is a rare, expensive ham that can be bought in Spain or in the UK at Harrods or Harvey Nichols. If you can help, PM me.

email sent

rumor is Cally will offer a similar shaft with the new X-Tour irons.

Looking only for 3 - 6 iron, but open to offers of a full set. S200 or S300 shafts only.

Try www.usps.com It's around $24 for express mail which takes 3 - 5 days.

You could have used more Sushi in your diet instead of the steady stream of burgers and coke. :whistle:

Kind of hard to compare since Scratch is totally custom. I have not seen a scratch wedge come even close to the versatility and the groove perfomance of the Maru. Now the grooves there is not a lot scratch can do about that, I suppose in theory they could copy the maru shape and grind but who is going to pay for all the heads to practice on until the grinder gets it right? Shigeki loves to play his PW for all kinds of shots 80-120 yards so the light swingweight on his gap/lob wedges are purely for feel and touch. As opposed to someone like John Daly I don't think Shigeki has very soft hands, so a soft/light wedge helps add to his feel and control. I played with the lob wedge unchanged for a long time and the light swingweight did not take long to get comfortable. Then I played another set with weight plugs to get the swing weight up to D-3/4 range and that did not take long to get comfortable with either. The Marus are the best wedges out there with a lot of close seconds. One last note about Scratch, I find the grind on the neck kind of strange, it is different than any other wedge. It's a minor thing, but still I like to be just as comfortable with wedges as I am with the putter, they are that personal.
