Sorry I'm not Tourspecgirl, but I do all the shaft fittings here on TSG. (^_^) A 70g range shaft that provides higher launch and lower spin would be the Ozik X-Con7 in strong flex. It would be around 78g and that heavier weight could help slow down your tempo a bit. It launches high and has low spin with great feel. Another option is the Graphite Design Quattro Tech 75 in X-Stiff. It will give you a stable higher launch with mid spin (not as low as the Ozik).

Shingo is playing a Sumo 5000 10.3* real loft with Bassara Prototype at 46.5". The Bassara has similar graphics to the new Hawk and Falcon

You're right on about the sound, it is definitely loud but it's more like a "Hear that, I killed it" loud. When I first got the EMB it shocked me how loud it was and I guess it's that way when you're the person hitting the EMB, but then many times in groups behind me they would say things like "That sounded like a good one" or "Sounded like you caught that one good". Then I began realizing, yeah it's loud but it's a kick ass loud. (^_^)

Well they are available in stiffer flexes at those weights as well.. I just put the softest flexes. The Bassara's are in the shop... as well as the Axiv, the others I'll add. (^_^)

No news yet guys.... if there were protoypes, Ai-chan would probably be playing them. (^_^)

You've got quite a few choices. Bassara Falcon F43 is 46g in Lite flex (senior) 48g in R Flex Bassara Hawk H43 is 47 and 48g for the quicker transition and tempo Fujikura Rombax 4X07 is available in R3 R2 and R weighing 45, 47 and 48g Graphite Design SL-4 is available in RR1 (senior) and weighs 47g Axiv 4048 is Senior flex and 43g and there are a few others.

Still around and still a wonderful wedge but very very low on stock due to its popularity. Best to check with us first if you want a set and we can check supplier stock. Available shafts are only NS Pro 950GH and Tour AD AD-75 Graphite.

The new Casio EX-F1... only 6 megapixels but full 1080i at 60 frames per second. As well as super slo motion mode with 300fps, 600fps and 1200fps capabilities.... Check out the camera filming a golf swing in 300fps on Inpakuto. http://www.inpakuto.com/index.php?option=c...ra-1200FPS.html

Yes it will be there for pre order later this week. Made a post on it on the blog for any one who is interested: http://www.inpakuto.com/index.php?option=c...tsy-Spider.html

One of the best forged heads around that size ever made was the Epon Technity 380 which is of course 380cc. Very nice feel on impact. Another option is the Mizuno JPX E310 at 410cc and very traditional shaped... this is a very solid driver. You can check out yourpressed's review here: http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/t24648.html which is what inspired me to try out the driver as well. Hard part with these smaller heads is actually finding one as they are older models.

We have a special going now on the forged Lepon ladies irons 6-SW with Lepon Graphite Design Shafts. PM me if interested.

I think they definitely look better than the previous gen GR's. Based on the features and design they are supposed to be more forgiving. However a similar undercut and sup10 face probably equal a slight click on impact.

Great feedback as always Randy. Let us know how it goes when the Honeymoon is over! (^_^)

Send Chris a PM guys and he'll let you know.

My wife is using Lepon too.. she was playing USDM clubs and the Lepon changed her game and her appreciation for golf.... she loves them. A forged iron with Graphite Design shafts for ladies! Here's the thread I posted with lots of pics: http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/t25340.html

TSG also offers refinishing by Sasaya-san your Gold's or Gauge Design putter including custom options. Here are some examples below. The first 4 pictures are all the same putter belonging to one customer who liked refreshing his putter every few months it seems even though its still brand new and unused (^_^). It began as Beads Boron, was changed to Teflon Black then recently to White Chrome. The Red Alumite in the cavity were changed to Black Alumite. A sound slot and brass pin was added and the tungsten in the face was changed to aluminum inserts decreasing weight from 355g to 335g. A few Gauge refinishes below, including added tungsten and engraving:

Interestingly this September, Srixon Japan is releasing two new drivers and two new irons both under the ZR line which have been in the past for the better player. The ZR-800 a 460cc driver and the ZR-30 a 425cc driver. As well as the ZR-800 iron and ZR-30 iron. There is also a new forged driving iron the ZR-UTI. More info to come:

It should fit. If the Como!Come!'s can fit the old G-field Leap they can definitely fit the X5. (^_^)

Yes we're expecting the CB next month... very good looking club. Very similar head shape and maybe touch more offset.

Hi Dave, All the new items are September releases so they are not out yet unfortunately.

Those are the CB1 from 2004 released in December of 2003 so nearly 5 years old.

The Z101's are the only Tourstage iron ever released in the US and in very limited amounts. While not "technically" JDM they are 100% made in Japan. I wouldn't say the cB1's look like the 2008's. They are a nearly 5 year old design and may be similar in appearance but different in quality and design.

Hi Flashman, The X-Blade is a JDM market iron. Everything from Tourstage is considered JDM. The CB1 is from 2004 and CB2 is from 2006, they are both no longer available. We don't have pics of the first generation as they are that old! But here are the CB2 from 2006 and 2008 XBlade. 2006: 2008:

As of now, there is no news of new Yamaha irons. The V Forged, D-black and D-steel are all still available as new models so probably not till winter will we hear anything.

Best looking club is still the original r7 Forged that's been long sold out.... when they came out with that I thought they were taking a step in the right direction style wise... then they took a 180 turn...
