Ryoma was not at the fair nor are they ever at the fair, they are a very small company who rely on their performance to create word of mouth. We are still keeping our fingers crossed as there are certainly a lot of people waiting (myself included). Meaning I have not been able to test it yet as well. To Ryoma's credit (if they deserve any at all), they did not want any shortcuts or the product less than perfect, even if it meant a 4-5 month delay which it has almost been. I am actually impressed with the patience of all the customers who have ordered!

Most likely softer than the DI-5 R. You are definitely an SR in the RoyDeco.

I don't know if you noticed but the driver is no longer on Epon's site, Epon has not even produced the final product yet and they are slated for an April release. Epon told me just now someone accidentally jumped the gun and posted the product page on the site. For those who are curious, the head is of course forged and chemically milled from a high rally Ti (my guess is VL titanium as Endo has been loving the material lately but will find out for sure soon). 10.5* of real loft, a strong mid trajectory, very low spin and recommended for 105mph and faster swingers, with a stronger ribbed/variable thickness face. This will be primarily an athlete better player model and yes 45.25" is the proper length.

NOOOOOOOOOOO not the Lynx! I had a tester here.... as you can tell I never said a word as I sent it right back.... yikes.

Before the RoyDeco came along, the LY02 was probably the softest playing Crazy shaft (close to the TJ46) especially with the flexes SR or softer. The RoyDeco is still a flex softer but does launch lower than the LY02 because the tip is stiffer and less active in order to give the lightweight shaft more control. When you are looking at lightweight shafts, low spin becomes more difficult as the lighter weight and more torque equals more action in the shaft. That said, if all things being equal, the RoyDeco will launch a tad lower than the DI5 and have more kick. Keep in mind as well the length you will be playing... the RoyDeco becomes less effective if you go too short with the shaft as it has a soft butt which trimmed down to short does affect its feel and kick.

The BB while also a control shaft plays and feels a lot softer. The Diamana X performs much like other high carbon shafts, stout feeling but when you swing it still quite active but with very good control and predictability.

We did hit them as well. They fly very straight and even with the low torque numbers still have feel. Chris has video of the shaft on the launch monitor so we'll have some numbers for you. I talked with Tats our tester about them and he said a very stable shaft but you do have to go after it. Definitely for faster and more aggressive swingers.

225cpm with the RoyDeco at 46" is right on. I tested one at Crazy at 46" and D2 which was 223cpm. Why you're hitting only 160y does not make sense. The RD is a mid launcher and does not balloon much. Are you hitting down on the ball causing a lot of spin?

Beautiful car, I always love the V-Tec engines. I so considered getting the Mugen Civic Type-R here in Japan... oh those high revs are sweet but the suspension back breaking! It was release in Europe there as well but costs a bomb there;

Irons, utilities are already in the shop. Drivers and fairway woods go in this week.

I doubt anyone has tried them yet since they are so new but based on specs I have read they are very similar to models like the 80LS and TJ-80.

Welcome back T!! Great to have a dedicated enthusiast like you back in the fold!

I've already posted all the details of their newsletter on our blog yesterday http://www.golftoimpress.com/diamana-x-finally-a-high-modulus-carbon-model/ We're taking pre orders now, so please contact me. Keep in mind yes the torque is low but the feel is good due to the 78t material. Diamana has told me this will be far better than the boron stinger as its all new technology and better materials and manufacturing.

Great news C! As I always say, a great shaft can make any head really come alive. The RocketBallz is designed to be a distance driver so should pair very well with the 80LS.

Rob, Sigma 50 lowest launching, and 80LS lowest spinning.

All Miura Giken Japan's irons and wedges are non conforming unless requested by special order.

It can be cut but it will impact the clubs overall swing weight as the Premia head is very light. Is he having trouble with the long length?

This is something Crazy has been doing for nearly 3 years however it can only be done with a live session at Crazy where they analyze where vibrations are coming from within your swing\shaft and then install an insert at that point to minimize vibration and unecessary movement.

The SDJ are a member favorite here... amazing feel, amazing spin. Those models won't last much longer as they are non conforming grooves so SDJ may discontinue. Can still be bought as head only or custom shafted.

As far as I know there are no dealers for either in SG. Which is why Frank got both from us. (^_^)

The original would be the JPX 500 Forged and those were certainly made at Endo with S20C. The new model is all S25C.

You can see more pics of both here: http://www.golftoimpress.com/yamaha-inpres-x-2012-irons-review/ I loved the tours... I am not a great ball striker but they are surprisingly forgiving. Every customer who bought them are very happy with them. The standard model is certainly very forgiving. I gamed a previous gen for a year. And this new model is even more forgiving. It is smaller all around than the AF-502 but not by much. I think it feels better than the AF502 as it is a single piece with none of that alpha gel stuff in the cavity. Modus3 is a special order, if I remember soft stepped should not be a problem but the Modus already play quite soft.

I dropped my Raylor Ghost to play the IBS Ghost. I love it as well. I never liked the original IBS with AGSI+. I love the feel of this putter and for me it also goes nice and straight. I have improved my putting drastically over the last few rounds!

Its an interesting idea by PRGR who always does their homework. I'll be blogging about it soon once I get the demo.

I will be testing the RM-11 very soon though it certainly looks very good already and of its better than previous offerings it will indeed be very good. I liked the Dual Bite http://www.golftoimpress.com/royal-collection-2010-type-bite-forged-wedge-review/ There is more offset than usual compared to other RC wedges.
