Baldo is still very popular among enthusiasts here in Japan. Snapped a few shots today of their new VT811 Night Edition Forged driver and their new Prototype Forged wedges!

Will do some comparison pics and explain the differences.

While in Tokyo today for meetings I picked up a few nice back drops from Tokyu Hands at Daimaru! Came home and shot a few more... they work well!

Was hanging out with George yesterday in his office in Kameari and did a photo shoot of his wedges and new driver. Wedges are very good looking. I finally took a few home which I will be putting into play to test and doing a comparison of (GT SW2 Forged and the GT SWPro) In the meantime a few of my mini studio shots.

I never got a chance to shoot the putter as its already on its way back to Tae. Sasaya-san took those himself... he is getting better at photos!

Hope Tae does not mind.... Sasaya-san finished his putter and its on the way... Gold's is swamped more than ever these days. They had a queue of over 50 putters in August alone. Tae's looks awesome...

You are absolutely right that gifted has no recourse, no buyer protection. We in no way promote people to use gifted but to use their own judgement. If I did not know the seller or had any doubts at all, I would rather pay the additional service charge on top of the seller's asking fee rather than do gifted. However with an established member/seller, I have no problems sending a gifted payment. It was because of this post that I implemented the new rule that sellers needed to add their name and date to images of what they were selling because its became obvious to me this seller did not have all the items or any of the items he claimed. As an administrator, that is about the only gaping hole I could think of filling right now. TSG is afterall a business and the BST is an area we do out of courtesy for our members. We can in no way control it or police it. All we can do is try and make it safe and hope that buyers and sellers alike use their common sense, do their due diligence and cover their tracks. Is this good for our business? There can be many arguments that say its not but we still allow this area to exist. (^_^) This topic should be closed though I left it open as many of us are still trying to track this culprit down. We are always welcome to suggestions so you guys can always PM as many of you do already.

They have a bit of offset with an FP of 5.8 so by no means are they terrible. Reasonably basic wedges but they do have the laser milled faces.

Crazy Black TJ80 has made some hookers turn into faders among customers who have gotten it. That is a tough shaft to pull and is really very much for the better player. It could work for you Michael since you are a very good ball striker.

So there has been talk about the P-tune PG313 on the forums. Pigeon Golf a components company that produces P-tune has been around a while but none of their products which typically do not change very often have had the same fanfare as the new PG313. As for high modulus shaft maker Waccine Compo, we have in fact checked them out every year at the golf fair... and every year decided against carrying them. However this year they seem to have come out with a revamped lineup of shafts that fill user needs quite well so we are going to give them a shot. What better way than to build our demo PG313 with a GR77 Stiff.... Build and testing to come soon!

Hi Richard, after seeing your comments above, if the TJ46 6.7 was a hook machine for you, the RoyDeco SR will probably not work. As I had suggested to you with your distances being 260-270, S is a bare minimum for the RoyDeco but SX more likely. The ultra light shaft experience is not for everyone especially those who hook. You would be better off with the LY01 Nero in 6.9.

Yours is around 71-72 grams. I'm not suprised its leaking right for you, its probably a bit stiffer and lower torque than you should have.

Highly doubt it. The market is just too small for lefties in Japan which is too bad.

You gotta stop saying you purchased these from me... sounds like I have my own stash of clubs (I do but its not that big - (^_^))... you bought all these from TSG just with my help... (^_^)

x-Line is scheduled for September (I will say mid to late to be safe). It will be low torque and low to mid 70g range.

Next time please add pics with your member name.

No its too much for people to do back dated so its from today on.

It has come to our attention that the TSG BST has once again become the target of a scammer. This is not the first time nor will it be the last. Scammers are everywhere on the internet and will go to any means to get your money. We created he BST as a courtesy to our members as a place where members can buy, sell and trade JDM clubs with other enthusiasts around the world. Even though we cannot take responsibility for any transactions made in the BST and while it is impossible for TSG to police and review every ad and sale, we do want everyone to have safe and satisfying BST experience. The only way to do this is to enforce tighter controls on selling. Even though this becomes more troublesome for sellers this is a must to verify all sales and bring peace of mind to potential buyers. We have always required photos of items for sale but now this will be taken a step further to prevent scammers from grabbing any photos off the net and using them in their sale ads. Effective immediately (August 20th, 2013) all ads of clubs for sale must not only have photos but the photos must include a piece of paper with the current date you make the sale topic plus your name. There are no exceptions to this rule. If you do not have these photos, you cannot sell your items. Here is an example (please note the club is not actually for sale). Once again all posts must have this type of image. The piece of paper can be printed or hand written. I apologize for the inconvenience especially to established members and sellers, but its a small price to pay for everyone's piece of mind. Again if your ad does not have a photo with your name it will be removed. We thank you for your cooperation in making TSG a fun and safe place for all JDM club lovers.

Its pretty small but the biggest draw seems to be he lie angle for many. 55* flat!!! It is very popular though, labospec told me they are almost completely sold out. Like all onoff heads, a very hot feel of the face. Very good all around performance.

You guys are welcome to talk to me anytime... for any reason at all. (^_^)

I think its especially evident on Michael's wedge as he seems to hit only one single spot on the wedge... a testament to his high skill level. Laser milling and micro milling is exactly that... very micro and fine... A big part of the Bold's milling as well was to act as a visual target though that is certainly not helpful once it fades away!

Glad you like it Richard!

Snapped a few photos of the new Mono Fairway Wood. This one comes with an adjustable8 position sleeve that allows for changing the loft and face angle and lie angle. For example 3W: Loft 13* to 15* Face Angle 2* open to 2* closed Lie Angle 58.5* to 60.5* Nice and heavy heads that allow for a shorter club length. Weights are also interchangeable. Will test soon side by side with a few other fairway woods... among them this is the only adjustable one. Very nice looking.

Review here for those who missed it! http://www.golftoimpress.com/romaro-ray-v-forged-type-r-iron-review/

I added the egg Utility face profile and address pic to the first post... its like a driving iron with no offset but a huge ass sole and rounded leading edge.
