Thanks for posting B! That's the magic number I always use too! (^_^)

D, maybe it was just the one you saw? The 445cc is supposed to be square according to TS.

Yes the V90 is for the ViQ series only and is in use by Ai-Chan. It has a slightly firmer feel and lower ball flight than the 950GH.

We have to remember they do look nice but their purpose is to serve the pros they sponsor... they are mobile for good reason, to perform on the spot service like repairs and tweaks for their players and yeah it has to be quick, they can't tell their player, "it'll be ready in 5 days" it's more like 5 minutes! (^_^)

There are quite a few threads on the new Epon EMB driver and as they all state, they look nothing alike as their designs are very different. The EMB is quite a bit shallower and longer heel to toe and is a high MOI driver and looks that way. The 460 is traditional shaped and deep faced. The EMB will be very forgiving and straight. Also not to worry about the torque numbers for the ali'islei, they are higher but the technology is better and they are getting very good feedback in Japan for performance. Ed, what exactly are you looking for in a driver. What's your handicap and swing speed?

The only difference is 1 degree stonger loft as far as I can see.

There are no tungsten inserts in these irons but CG is placed really low instead to promote higher ball flight. Quite an increase in MOI over the 06' model according to TS, not that we could tell the difference! These may have slightly higher ball flight than the epons but a lot will depend on shaft choice as you know. Chris can probably confirm shot trajectory.

Not black at all... see the thread here http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/index.php?showtopic=25982 page two has more views from the top.... (^_^)

Then again the value of the shirts was really much higher than what was declared... it was more like 100 each! (^_^) but still 18%+14%+Handling fee!!!

I can't confirm but looks like tadd was hitting a black onoff, or at least something black! (^_^)

That was all Canada post.... and yes declared as gifts... even the $20.32 was under $60 and they hit me for it.

I pay through my nose in taxes... 35-40% of my income, nearly $6000 a year in property taxes... 14% retail tax on all purchases... and I get raped on any out of Canada shipments that come in... I had three golf shirts arrive from Japan today... value of $100 Canadian total for all three. Was hit with Duty 18% = $18.00 GST: $7.08 PST: $9.44 Handling Fee: $8.00 for a total of 42.52 or 42.52% The other day I had a golf headcover arrive that canada customs converted to $20.32 CAD. Duty: 1.42 GST: 1.22 PST: 1.63 Handling fee: 8.00 Total 12.27 = 60% I am calling tomorrow to bitch about the 18% duty on my golf shirts (clearly declared as golf shirts)... talk about excessive. Sorry had to vent cause I'm pissed.

According to Tourstage Bat, the magnesium is mostly for feel, impact absorption and soft feel on contact. I think it's a nice looking iron, satin would be pretty!

I just got a batch of magazines from Japan and several pros are playing this exact wedge (with custom grinds of course) and guess what, the paint fill is removed....

That looks so much better without the paintfill... I could get used to that especially if it performs like you say!

It's definitely for a specific crowd... low handicappers and great iron strikers... the compact size and minimal offset is definitely something certain players will like... like AJ or B (Blader-X).... (^_^)

We have to remember that the profile of this shaft is for the hard swinger with a quicker more aggressive release. I bet C, you'd do better with an SR as what you were hitting was the stiff, good up to 110mph

Yeah it's not quite as red when outdoors and really standing above it. Bat does that mean you're getting one? (^_^)

So the X-Drive is getting rave reviews everywhere.... and it's not as red as I expected in real light. I know chris has one and should be posting some awesome pics here soon but in the mean time here are more pics off the web.

There have been a few purchases of these, but I don't think they are forum members. The problem probably is that these are to most people, this is pretty much an unknown brand so they don't pay any attention to them which is too bad cause the price value is definitely good!

Wow that's cool, they may be a one off set then! I like the look, the graphics are definitely better than the current axiv irons, and Tadd loves green!

Haven't seen that before... looks like V-Spec in green... where did you get the info? Are they iron shafts for sure?

He was htting the 501 but at the moment switched back to his 440cc 105...

P, they can but not from Fourteen, they would be custom built by TSG.

Stickys have far more play on the Japanese tour... barely anyone plays the X's as they are not as soft or as sticky as the stickys. Have you tried the Nowon's? The Sticky's would be the closest to the NO1 grips in style and feel.
