The TJ-46 isn't really meant for the violent swinger, I'd say a bit aggressive is okay but it will really shine if you smooth out your swing. Quick = OK. Violent = probably not. (^_^) you can hit it up to 310, the 7.2 might be on the soft side for you (people driving the ball 310 typically do not play stiff flex in any brand) but it will promote you take take it easy on your swing like you say.

TJ-46 is one of the softer Crazy models. Its considered the best shaft to take the right side out of play. 7.2 is probably true to a stiff flex or a bit more.

That is correct. this is not Stew.

Suspected Scam. Closed.

Yes this is a scam. I have taken back control of Stews account. I will block this scammer once again.... sigh. Please guys don't click on suspicious links off site! I am locking this thread.

In this case its not really a question of favorite as both clubs serve different purposes. The Spoon is a 3 or 4 wood and the FW model is a 5 7 9 wood. So they are meant to compliment each other ie bag a 15* spoon and 18* fw or a 17* spoon and 20* fw. Many go for the 17 as it does not lose much distance vs the 15 but seems to be easier to launch (both are pretty easy)

Keep in mind Sonartec and Royal Collection are two completely different companies. Sonartec was a US company. Sonartec "borrowed" RC's fairway wood and utility designs only several years after they were released in Japan ie the 2-3 year delay. RC had nothing to do with any of their other products.

Review on the irons is here: http://www.golftoimpress.com/royal-collection-bbds-tour-vs-forged-iron-review/ As for the TRC utility, I've gamed it for 2 years, original model and new model. I prefer them over every other utility and I've tried them all. The Tour VS had no hybird but at that time they did release a BBD's driving iron.

Awesome to hear D. I'm glad it worked out for you. Thanks for the great feedback!

If biggest cult following equals biggest sales and most demand and buzz then based on our customers responses in the last 5 years (I don't go as far back as Chris (^_^)) DR: Technity 460ZR then EMB then Ryoma D-1 and the Ryoma is easily the new king, moving at a pace we have never seen before for any driver FW: Egg Spoon - nobody else close Irons: TM R7 Forged... at that time EVERYONE wanted a set Wedges: Interestingly so many good wedges that one specific model never really dominated in the last few years Putters: G-Field Premium Zone - remember when G-Field/Gauge went under and many used PZ's popped up at twice the cost of new? Shaft: The original Axiv and Axiv V... now Crazy Shaft

Not yet... If a burner forged is released its most likely summer. We'll see.

If you tipped it 1" that is not bad. When you said you tip cut to length I was thinking you may have taken 2" + off which would have been far too much. 1" is much more normal and if i remember correctly increases CPM approximately 10-15 cpm depending on the setup. As I said the WA is pretty anti left.

Hi C, The WA series is pretty anti left but simply tipping it to length may not have been a good idea. Roddios are very sensitive to tipping and not doing it right can cause havoc. How much tip did he cut? T

Pretty much what James said, sound is themost noticeable change (both at impact and when you swing it). The crown is a huge visual change. The face is also shallower making it even easier to get the ball in the air. Distance wise, I found the similar. Feel was probably better for the new model as well.

Hi T, as I noted in my PM which I may as well write here as info for everyone. Crazy's delay on the 460 is not due to the disaster in Japan. Its production was delayed even before that. Most other brands/OEM's are not experiencing any delays out of the ordinary except for maybe Fujikura/Bangvoo as their factory was up north in the affected areas.

Rob, the headcovers are still there. The same old ones plus the new very expensive cross covers.

Crazy was afterall originally a long drive type performance shaft so many Drakon (driving contest) pros use the shaft. For pros this will change as Crazy has launched their tour van (they call it a tour bus) and has growing presence with a few players on the Japan Men's and ladies tours and Na Yeon Choi on the LPGA used the LY series shafts (not sure if she still does). Pros are beginning to discover the strengths of Crazy and this also shows with their increased coverage in many of Japan's top golfing publications. The shaft is also in play by many amateurs and top juniors with high swing speeds. With the resources they have I'm guessing more pro presence will come though outside of Japan is another story.

Haha you quoted me exactly. (^_^)

Khang thats great to hear. The Egg and Crazy shaft is one deadly combo. I'm glad we were able to work together to get the right fit. The difference between the Evo and FW80 is firstly material, the Evo is 46t and the FW80 is 80t. The FW80 is made leaning more towards control than distance while the Evo leans towards distance over control. Both of course are very balanced. The FW80 relies more on the top grade 80t carbon to reduce the need for timing and easy squaring of the head. The Evo has a more advanced design (it is a newer model released last month) which produces more feel (this is amazing considering the FW80 has some great feel and pop to it already) and while it is "only" 46t it produces a high launch with low spin hence the big carry Khang is seeing.

You know Anton I am no really sure what happened there with Iomic. Originally they were supposed to release both ribbed and round and it ended up being just ribbed with round on the back burner. Now it appears that round are available again. I should alter the listings to reflect this. Thanks for bringing it up actually!

Keep in mind pretty much ALL JDM manufacturers will adjust lie for customers. So this topic is a bit misleading as it makes it sound like no brand will adjust lie. To make it clear Vegaman wants a very upright lie and for the models he's interested in and this can mean up to a 3-4* bend. (the models have pretty flat lies) All brands have tolerances but they also have quality assurance they must deal with. Epon will not bend more than 1.5*. Is it because the irons won't bend more than 1.5*? No. Its because they insist on a perfect finish and the amount of pressure needed to bend more can cause markings or imperfect finish. Titleist will do 2* and their lies are rather upright. As I mentioned to Christian (Vegaman), Titleist Japan can meet the 64* 6 iron he wants with any of their forged irons. Other brands also will bend but unfortunately their lies are pretty damn flat. TSG's main focus is not just the North America market. TSG's main focus is providing access to Japanese market clubs for customers worldwide. But in the end these are Japanese market clubs designed for Japanese markets and Japanese golfers and in many and most cases it means flatter lies unfortunately when it comes to irons. At 1.92m tall, you are taller than 99.5% of the Japanese golfing population. (^_^) As Chris said there are small manufacturers who will do it. I even had Kyoei regrind heads in the past for customers just so they could get heavier heads ie they made the 4 iron into the 3, 5 iron into the 4 etc... restamped them all and bent them to proper specs. BUT it took more than 3 months. Still I don't think any discount shops online will do that. (^_^) Unfortunately if Yururi won't bend the lie for you its not the end of the world and doesn't mean JDM brands are inflexible. So there are options. We'll find you something!

Anton they are certainly very popular. Every time I speak to Iomic they are back ordered or catching up with stock. The Diarrow is an improvement over the X-Fusion which was their first cord attempt and simply too hard.

Original Sky dream Jump d-Tour. Non conforming ball destroyers.

For many of us now a three wedge set has to be considered seriously especially with many JDM irons sporting very strong lofts. What this does is leave huge gaps when your PW is say 44* which mine is. I have been carrying a 52 and 58 Rupas but I've decided to change that in favor of a 50 56 62 setup for more vesatility. The 50 and 56 are RC DB Wedges and the 62 like B here is the Fourteen. There was a huge gap between my 44* and 52*, 8* to be exact making me take a lot of 3/4 PW shots which I don't mind doing but sometimes you need to take a full swing.

Where are the dings exactky? I have a set as well and they keep as well as my V forged did. They body and face and neck of the VG3 are also forged.
