Not at that price R. That is way too much... this is pretty custom as, these irons, the 105 and 115 have in fact been in existence on the Japanese pro tour.... they just want to make it "available" to the public now (^_^).

The links were external so K just wasn't sure if he should post them directly here... but I capped them anyway! Thanks K for the info! Damn they are pricey but I would love to have blue ones....

Thanks guys for the quick responses.... Got WD-40 and dish scrubs.... I saved the wedges and my Grind Studio looks like new again! (^_-) Lung-chia, it was like that first thing in the morning... 15yards visibility. I could barely drive to the course it was scary, but by the time we got there it was about 30 yards and slowly cleared up. Luckily I was using flourescent yellow Kasco's that were really easy to spot. ALL FIXED! :

So my wife and I decide to head out for 18 holes this morning. Weather has been nuts and season is winding down. It was unusually warm this morning at 14C but extremely foggy, we couldn't even see 30 yards in front of us... but it cleared as the day went along and sun came out. Thing is it was humid... and wet. You guys know I take care of my clubs... I wipe them after every shot but it was just so wet, and my raw wedges (carried Grind Studio and Sky Dream Jump today) suffered with lots of surface rust. What can I do to save my beauties? Steel wook? If so what kind?

That's too bad as the FF shafts are supposed to amplify touch and feel. That's their original purpose. My only complaint is that they are light.... http://www.ustgolfshaft.com/shaft_models/model.aspx?id=16

K, There's no mention of these new shafts at all in any publication or even on the GD Japan site... get me some pics! (^_^)

In Japan it's actually the Mamiya Op FF shaft (^_^). For those wanting extra feel. Awesome C, simply awesome!

They are the Black G as I posted here Kyle (^_^): http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/index.php?showtopic=26065

Technica Pro I and Type J are the same thing, they are badged as Technica Pro I in Japan and Type J outside of Japan. There is tons of feedback all around the forum on the Type J's (^_^)

I think it's around 10, the 59 is 9.

Okay I haven't received mine yet but I got a copy of the manual from Bridgestone... I will translate it. Just give me some time (^_^).

My swing speed now is between 85-90mph (it was like 80 earlier this year)... I use R flexes in all my woods and I prefer the lighter graphite shafts in the irons as it allows me to generate more head speed. The great thing about the current crop of JDM graphite shafts is you lose nothing in performance to steel. I was a NS Pro 950 and 850 user before and I have lost NO accuracy but gained great smooth feel and less overall weight with graphite. Do you personally like a heavier iron? What shafts are in the TR910's now and do you like them? It's a personal preference thing really, some people like a heavier shaft weight. I think graphite pairs well with the AF-701's because of their strong lofts. If you have the money to spend, go for the graphite, and if you like them you can keep them for future sets and sell heads only. The I-6 with low 60g weight is pretty light, similar to my Tour AD. I actually think the I-8 SR would be good for you. They would still be lighter than even NS Pro 850gh. You would have one kick ass set of irons! (^_^)

I am not familiar with the Aerotech's but Nippons are know for their feel. For your swing speed, you'd definitely benefit from lighter steel, I'd recommend even the 850gh in R flex, and perhaps 950's in the wedges. You'll get improved smooth feel, higher trajectory and most likely improved distance.

Carlo try the Royal Collection 6150TG, I am a very steep swinger and that has too be one of the easiest wedges I've used even though the head is compact. Beautiful M type grind and fantastic milled face for amazing spin. I'll definitely be giving these a try, and I think they will look better once I remove that ring of colored paintifill on the back... though they look nice at address:

Definitely very high tech looking! I guess the most important thing is if it performs but that look will definitely be a personal thing.

Good observations P, the face progression is listed as the same on both. So Lung-chia was pretty much right that TM's site is not so consistent in spec descriptions sometimes. It's not uncommon to have them make minor mistakes in new product listings, also perhaps the TP's "Tour" size head as opposed to the R7 Forged's "Mid-Size" (as TM calls it) may give the illusion that there is less offset. By the way it's about time you posted! (^_^)

53/7 and 58/12 (^_^)

If I'm not mistaken all T3 drivers are made by Endo.

It's a more compact head, made for low handicap players, it's a tour type hybrid, the Td+ has a lower center of gravity for a stronger trajectory and supposedly more carry.

You might like it J, it's forged by Endo for great feel and quality is just top notch as is all PRGR gear. Very high end in Japan. This model is square faced and low launching. Made for the very good player. Chris has hit it and posted here, I'll actually merge your topic with his to keep feedback going there.

Shafts just look like that for the pics. According to TM, thinner topline, less offset, more workability (less forgiving) and CG a bit higher for lower trajectory, compard to the R7 Forged. Based on Japanese tour pros who gave input based on the R7 Forged asking for ball manipulation and playability as the number one priority for the new TP.

Played with these again yesterday... very happy with the performance overall, smooth and easy, just the way I like it. I can really say I'm enjoying this set of irons. (^_^)

They've decided to release an entirely new designed ViQ lineup, driver, fairway woods, irons and utilitles so the forged is redesigned as well but releasing 4 months after the others.

Most likely yes, and also a lot will depend on the angle you're looking at. The first pic of the top looks better, the second one from more of a back angle looks radioactive. (^_^)

Very nice feel and design, mid-sized, very easy to hit and very forgiving... undercut and tungsten really help get the ball up and go even on mis-hits. Even though they are mid-sized they are not humongous by any means.
