Hi guys, Swapping a few things around. Need to get rid of extras. Royal Collection TRC UT 2009 model 21* with BBD's Regular shaft and headcover. A bit of rubbing on the top crown but not noticeable at address. Awesome pop and distance and deadly easy to hit. For 200.00 shipped I will throw in a RC Td+ 25* Utitlity with R shaft and original head cover as well. So you get TWO awesome RC utilities. RC DB Forged 50* and 56* Wedges NS Pro 950GH Stiff Both like new (plastic is still on the 56* grip). Spin like mad, awesome shape and design with milled faces. (450.00 + 40.00 shipping for the pair in the pro shop). 320.00 shipped. Payment by paypal please.

I emailed you, Kamui can refinish the entire crown and its not that expensive. Thanks, T

Anton is correct. Heads for graphite shafts are always heavier to make up for lost swing weight due to lighter shafts.

Roddio Iron shafts are wonderful and even the non forged ONOFF feel pretty darn good. ENJOY GOLF 247 = 24/7 around the clock 7 days a week.

They have been available in Japan for some time and quite popular. As for the tungsten weighting, you really can't see it at all on the RB247 as it is inner tungsten unlike the red which takes up the full sole and even the forged which the back part of the sole. Quite a forgiving leading edge.

If sales are any indication, Ryoma has outsold every other driver by a HUGE margin and I mean HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE margin. Yes I bag a Ryoma, it has also saved my driving game.

Haha so true... I would not be surprised if at some point he will own them ...

Good point James. But not even just loft is difficult to mix and match, the fact that hybrids typically have longer shafts as well, pretty much always will result in more distance. A 27* lofted hybrid with a 39" club length can be just as long as a 25* iron with 37.75" club length. Manufacturers don't even follow suit loft wise for this reason. For example I am now using the #5 VG3 UT which is 25* but the VG3 Forged 5 iron its replacing is 24*. I can surely hit the 25* utility longer. There is always some mixing and matching to do...

It was actually in Hawaii but now its back on the mainland but will be in Hawaii again before stopping over in Asia.

Yeah unfortunately it is. But still nice irons if the offset does not bother....

The feedback has been limited S. While the Saqra's are a nice looking and well forged head, what has really been a drawback has been the reverse offset. Most have said even with that they are not that easy to hit though rather pure at impact.

Cast iron so bending is limited. They can be bent probably an additional 2* very carefully, though keep in mind this will also alter bounce slightly. I would not suggest it as it would change the dynamics of the head slightly. There is no driving iron with a loft that high but there are utilities.

I think it will be difficult for stew (supo67) to do a video comparing the 905 and Ezone considering he owns neither (^_^). Fanfare for the Yonex blades has not been so high here in Japan as much of it is based on Ryo Ishikawa hype yet he is not even playing the blades himself. The more developed blade is probably the 905 as its seen an evolution (so to speak as how much can a blade evolve?) over the years from the original X-Blade. If forgiveness is what you want the Epon AF-tour must still be considered though they are marginally larger in size than other current MB's. As Edward above said, the MB5003's are still ever popular and very much liked for their size and feel. Plus they can be ordered with conforming or non conforming grooves. Or to echo Edward again, a compact cavity that sets up like a blade which there are a few.

Yes but the designs are different and do not use as much quantity of 50t and 80t as Crazy models in the shafts. And yes the Crazy 450 is designed by George Takei and is the same head but we all knew that already. His name is afterall on the Crazy 450 head. (^_^)

I've recommended the Sigma to many players but it seems they always want to go lighter and lighter. In fact the Sigma produces Crazy's most penetrating trajectory of all their models (a lot in part due to weight of course as well). I thought you put the 787 in the Crazy 460 Stew?

B Feel is really the key for me for this UT. It is the best feeling hybrid I've hit as well which is also what I told Spoon. Throw in its awesome performance and looks and its definitely the one to beat.

The CB46 is the most popular Crazy shaft right now as I noted on the blog. People love it. It is in the Black range meaning it was designed for more aggressive and faster swingers but its turned out to be a great shaft for anyway who simply wants to go straight. It has the best balance of distance and control of all the Crazy shafts it seems, and it feels good to boot.

You can order them from us as well. We carry the complete NS Pro line including the new Modus 3 as well. R

Similar concepts, and similar designs. Both the Premium Brill and XXIO Premium --- yes the names are surely confusing --- are made as their most premium balls from Bridgestone and Dunlop. Both are designed for soft feel and distance off the tree but feel and touch around the greens. Both are very expensive!

Sounds pretty accurate for the head. You can only expect a 380cc head to be so forgiving on off center hits. The 787 is designed to be ... straight. (^_^)

Stew, great feedback... I think the problem with the Klenot is you swing too fast. It seems to excel best for those who swing under 100mph. for me they work pretty well but my complaint is that they are almost too soft!! Which ones were you playing? Premium Brill OR XXIO Premium? They are two completely different balls from different brands. Brill is Bridgestone, XXIO is Dunlop. I love the Premium Brill, best combination of distance and feel.

Stan you are very welcome. Now we just need to get you your clubs!

Frank great and honest feedback. Both are certainly wonderful drivers and you said it yourself. The Ryoma has kept the ball in play, made hooks and slices much less hooks and slices, and even on overly high shots carries greatly. In the end this is what counts...consistency. We all don't have our best days especially when it comes to driving the ball all the time and the Ryoma makes up for it. For me the Ryoma has certainly given me some of my longest drives ever but more importantly it has been extremely easy to hit and has kept me in play more consistently and I think this is what most are finding as well.

Royal Collection USA's releases are part current and part past Japanese models. I just looked at their site (for the first time I might add) and these are my observations: JP104 driver is the 2009 RC 104F driver. JP104 FW is the 2009 RC 304F FW. JP104 FH is in fact the 2009 TRC Utility. JP104 Hybrid is a tweaked cross between the 2004 Td and 2006 Td+ The wedges are last years Dual Bite The irons are current. So all the woods and wedges are older models save the JP104 Hybrid which is revised old design it seems. The irons are still offered by RC Japan. Tour VS driver and FW are also current.
