You should think in terms of higer launch (then the Xdrive 460) rather then high launch since it is still a X Drive. IMO, if you are a low/mid teen hdcp, you should consider the GR but if you are a low signle or +, no difference.

The EMB with stock shaft is 46" at D2. Any particular reason for this length and what is the playing length of CP's EMB with Roddio?

Isnt true that both sets are no longer available new?

That would show you that I am not a big fan of the shaft.

Sorry this is the proto new modified n16 blade.

You point being that you do not need a forgiving driver or no driver (regardless of makes) is longer than the current x460/combo? I am sure a lot of players including JPGA pros could handle the X460 but the GR are also being used on the J tour also (GDO).

Just saw this at a Japanese site, the color/graphic is reversed as an option.

In that case, how about a Geotech blade instead.

Welcome to the nut house when people buy and sell clubs at the speed of light. As for the Gold's CB, there was a all black option but the run was sold out. I believe Chris said recently, they can be ordered again at a COST. Most lower loft JDM drivers aim the low handicap marker would hvae a square or open face such as Srixon, X drive. As a cheaper experimenet, check out one of the pro spec Geotach drivers that is 1 to 2 degree op with lie angle of 58 or 57 vs. the Epon EMB's of 61*.

What are these Tour AD MD and Rombax Z?

Thanks idrive but this is what I was referring to:

Well, in theory you can still get Gaunge product in the States from David Whitham since he still owns, I think the name in NA. I am not trying to reopening the legal story of who did what to whom but he basically started the insert business for Gauge years back.

Did not realize Gauge had custom option before or were you saying you wish that othe J spec putter maker would be willing to cutomize their putters using Gauge type inserts and weight ports? Anything custom in Japan is expensive and not as simple as changing a shaft and I am sure you can get Romaro or some small ones to do so. I have a custom Matsu in my hand last week that was going for $1,000 but it is not even exotically custom. It was modified design, weight, loft , length and of course, personalized with names and grip.

No C, I am referring to a set of black J and not the current vintage black copper offering. I thought Chris had a set about 8 months ago as a one off.

T; I think SYB has the exclusive on 4001 and 6001. They are Shimada but nobody else carries them. If you are looking for the heavier Shimada, these are the ones but I have not seem it on other Miuras.

Its www.shimadagolf.com I have the K'3001 on a set Mizuno T-Zoid Pro to replace an old heavy DGR300. The 3001, as some said, its a Japanese version of light Rifle with good height, kick and feel. Their newest offering the K'7001 is also of constant weight. Their heavier K' classes, I think, are marketed by SYB.

Lets put it this way, they are more satiin looking then 'chrome' in real life.

Wasn't there a black type J floating around sometime ago? Not the black copper but black black. Could you tell the (feel) difference on contact due to finish as compared to regular Js or 301s?

T: Stick with your new af701 until you break 90 then think about changing again.

Look at the proshop lately?

As one of the blogger said, 5003 with the new GD tour ad 105, a lethal combination.

T: Read the blog again after your translation and finally figured out what's 'goosebumps' in Japanese.

My friend in Hong Kong just bought one of the few remaining sets of 770 forged (coming from a Beres 901) and was told the forged cavity line is being replaced by TC1000 and 550 with the old 770 somewhere in the middle. Since he is a 9 or 10 hdcp, the shop owner who is also a good player, said he might not be happy with the amount of offsets of the 550 and the 770 while bing discontinued, would represent a good compromise (a good player but is getting older) bewteeen the two new models. All Fourteen forged cavities seem to have thicker top line then the Epons.

Are they the same iron forged by Endo?
