Looks amazing J! Now when are you going to get out there and hit it? I always love to hear your feedback! ^^

So far I got from my wife, a new Bridgestone Paradiso Caddy bag. She had her brother send it to me from Japan (it's not quite here yet but arriving this week). Got the white and yellow/orange one to match my Comera Orange head covers... I also got a new driver for my b-day (^_^):

Yeah as I mentioned in the Tour section a few weeks ago, http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/index.php?showtopic=25334 this bag has been out for a while actually and is indeed Ai-chan's new bag. She does use the headcovers too! (^_^)

Thanks guys, some friends are taking me out for 18 holes today. I'll post up some of my presents when I get back.

Hi there, welcome to the forums. They may be a little on the tough side for a 30 handicap. What are you currently using now and what else are you considering besides the JPX?

Both are spectacular bags, Tourstage and Titleist Japan are both known for making fantastic functional and good looking bags. In the case of these two, you'd win with either. The Titleist is the heavier of the two bags and slightly more expensive, but if you ride or push/pull then weight may not matter so much.

Thanks for the info, non conforming makes me think it was Japanese version then or at least outside of the US. Are you able to hit it longer than your Titleist? (^_^)

Epon and G-Field will both have pretty much square faces. The Epon can even be open, I think Blader-X has one 2* open!

You can see the differences in grind and offset especially when you put them side by side.... some awesome improvements!!

Welcome to the forum... did it look like this: http://www.bhmgolf.com/desc.ydev?prod_id=6806 I'm not familiar with that model as a Japanese market one. I think this was an American market release.

Oh so you did go for the MP Craft 425 after all. Awesome, let me know how it goes... definite feedback as I mentioned above is that it's for the good ball striker as witnessed by it's tour use for Mizuno staffers. ^^

Hi shepard, The lower numbered model Nippons, like the 850 and 950 and even 1050 have much higher ball flight than the 1150 tours, you won't have to worry about ballooning there. Type J's with PX flighted shouldn't be a problem I think. TSG should be able to do that for you. As you see, best thing about Epon is that it is fit the way you like it and want it. The Axiv V is know for tight dispersion, kick for distance and anti-left characteristics. It's ball flight is also lower than that of the regular axiv and roddio. Have you been fit in the fitting threads by Tourspecgirl? An 8072 or Roddio W7WA S flex sounds about right for your swing, but she's the expert for that.

Carl your game still sounds pretty good scoring 79-80. So the bad back is affecting your game. Do you find on those days your clubs feel heavier and you off center hits make it hurt more? Are you happy with the ball flight of the 950's? Steel is more economical but some have seen gains in distance with no deterioration of accuracy by moving to lighter graphite.

Hi Carl, welcome to the forums. The 750's are around 75-83g depending on flex and which iron. They are very smooth shafts and perform a little on the soft side in comparison to the 950 and DG. Like the 950 you have, it does help get the ball up. Superb feeling iron shaft with great performance. Are you planning on putting these in your MP60's? Have you considered graphite? Some of the Jpsec graphite available performs like steel but at much lighter weights (50, 60, 70g range) and with graphite characteristics (shock absorption, low/mid kick, feel). How fast do you currently swing your driver and what is your 5 iron distance? Flex on your 950's?

Hi swingit, welcome to the forum! My handicap is actually similar to yours. Bottom line is we all golf for enjoyment and to hopefully get better so investing in a good set of irons that not only suits your current game, but can also take you to another level is always the right way of thinking. In this case, both irons could do the job for you. That said, the ViQ Forged is probably slightly more forgiving than the E500's. Both are forged by Endo and have good feel and playability. Both have pretty strong lofts which are the norm these days for many JDM sets. A lot of how they perform will be based on your shaft selection too. Are you a good irons player? Do you strike the ball well? Either way you could play either of these irons for sure. It may just come down to your personal preference. Good luck!

So Tourstage finally decides to join the high MOI craze with the 460cc V-GT, which claims to have an MOI of 5450gcm2! Will be available in 9.5 and 10.5 lofts and is an all titanium driver. It's definitely a step away from usual Tourstage design especially in the color choice!!

I can post info and pics later when I get back from the range. They are featured in a few of this months magazines and already listed on the Bridgestone website. It's a complete premium line of clubs and even caddy bags, balls and shoes and they are pricey!

Hi there, welcome to the forums! TSG stands 100% behind it's products. Thousands of customers and thousands of sales, authenticity has never been an issue even once in the 5+ years TSG has been in business. Everything comes directly from the Japanese manufacturer. In some cases the manufacturer's warrantly is not valid outside of Japan, really depends on the brand. However if something goes wrong or there is an issue with the clubs out of no fault of the owner, TSG will take care of it. (^_^) Hope you have fun here and feel free to ask any questions as there are many helpful JDM enthusiasts here!

I was carrying 13 clubs so I thought I'd give this a try. I've never thought of using my hybrid before (^^). I'll carry it for 18 on Monday but so far it is indeed easy to aim right at the hole with a putter stance.

They are all custom designed by the customer so that one is a gold's customer's putter. You can design one just like it or close to it. Just PM me your email and I can give you a design form.

For those of you considering getting a GF putter from Sasaya-san it can be a daunting task creating your own custom masterpiece. Remember Sasaya can do almost anything. Here are a few examples of his work in the past couple of months, quite a few of these putters were for TSG customers or designed by TSG. When I'm designing Gold's putters I use many of these images for ideas and inspiration. Some may look familiar cause the owners are here on TSG! (7th pic down is Sasaya's new sole logo design)

7, that's what Sasaya does, he's a custom builder so he will put that insert into anything style head he has including the M401 Mallet he has. That can be custom ordered through Chris.

Third that.

What aren't you taking this one to add to your collection?

See the first post where Chris has the pics with specs. It's the image of the inner side of the face, the inner shape of the face is like a "star burst"
