255 cpm at S flex or SR? If it is at 255 for S then it is very typical/norm of Japanese shaft flex.

What, in your opinion, are the major difference between the XXIO forged and the Srixon WR forged at least on paper besides price?

Chris: Would you know the standard face angle of the say 10.5 degree WR? It looks square to perhaps 0.5* close.

Hi Guys: I love all good/pretty putters (at least 2 a year) just like all the Ho's here but at the end of the day, it is still the putee and not the putter. Let's play and practice some more.

Just want to show you this if you have not seen it before. It is total impractical but a thing of beauty.

There is an older GD caddy stand beg (2005?) but you have to work hard to find it. Perhaps TSG can help.

There were the rather 'loud' G-Field staff bags of 2005 or 2006 and there are still some old 'Gauge Design' staff and light caddy (with stand) bags floating around in the market place now.

Here are two more for you to look at both at 6.5 inch but with legs. The left one is call Progical and the right one is Nike and both are Japanese model I believe. You can get more detail at www.tsuruyagolf.co.jp

It would be a very tight fit and you might damage the grips (in and out too much). I have used a putter tube that can be secured to the side and bottom of the bag so one more clubs can fit in the main bag. I would say with the putter tube on the side, you are getting close to a full set but with very small head covers.

I would spend $5K on clubs and $20K on a private caddy from Thailand for a year (or two) that would also do massages between holes. Just day dreaming in this cold and snowy afternoon and bored to death with my work.

I have sure Chris can get you anything if you can just give him the model #. I have two 6" pencil bags from Mizuno years ago and they are perfect to take a half set to 8 clubs for short vacation at a resort course. You can actually fit 2 pencil bags in one soft travel cover. Good luck.

I am not quite sure what is a pencil bag but go to the ONOFF site (http://golf.daiwaseiko.co.jp) and they have a 7" bag that is more tubular shape not unlike the Scotty Cameron leather sunday bag. It might be too small to hold a full set.

If I read the site correctly, BA is for Swinger (easier swing) and WA is for harder swing. At 105 to 110 mph, WA should not be an issue. My SS is only 88 hence 5BA would be my shaft. Gocchin can confirm this.

Forget the video, just tell me who this lovely girl in your new Avatar. Sorry T, the cold weather and the snow is getting to me.

Akira is well respected but somehow never very popular. The Rombax is not stock but at least they offer Axiv as option. I would prefer the Katana over Akira as more proven.

Was the TC770 the new forged model or the older cast one? What shafts did the demos come in?

One has a hole in it. (Sorry)

I have seen Golds' wedges in Hong Kong and they are unbelievable. Why do you and Chris keep tempting us with these sort of Pictures? I keep telling myself that it is the Indian and not the arrow but I also know that I would lose this battle again. Those cavity irons are so beautiful.

I am considering a Quattro Tech 55 on a Titleist 905R but cannot find the length of parallel tip for this shaft (in GD's Japan site) since the 905R is thru bore. I know the Zcom or Rombax is 4 or 4.5 inches but not familar with GD. Any help or advice would be greatly appriciated.

So Gold's irons, cavity and blade, are actually Gauge's old designs or just some old tooling? Who forged Gold's irons? Some of Gold's putters do have a hint of Gauge in them, particularly those with the tungstun inserts.

To all the Zodia experts, I would be grateful if you can tell me how old (and are they any good) are the A-1 and D-1 wedges? I cannot find any info on them from Zodia's site. Thanks in advance.

I say keep them both. I have 4 sets and my game has gone to the dogs. Seriously I say keep the GD as it would probably becomes a collectors' item someday. With their (GD) small volume, I don't see them coming out with new irons every year or every two years while Callaway would have new stuff every year. But then again, I notice people in this forum have more sticks than anyone I know.

Hey T: We should aim for a game this June. With your 'power' set up, you should be tee off the blue or black and I would be teeing off the White (due to old age, of course). It would be my Fourteen against your Epon. Great Bag !!

I read in another forum that a Scratch Prototype wedge(s) were forged by Ishihara. Don't know there is any truth in this.

It is all in the tourstage website under new X-drive and also under shaft chart. XD-60 is 66g with T @2.9 degree mid kick for S flex and 70g T2.7 and mid kick. No additional detail listed.
