Thanks for linking it up C!

ONOFF Clubs are great, drivers, fairway woods and irons and the s-forged wedge, all quality performers. The Red line is the average golfer model. Driver has a closed face and deeper lower CG. The Plus has an open face and more penetrating launch. The driver is not muted but on the louder side and rather explosive.

I'm actually shafting up a set now with Yururi's own graphite wedge shaft made by Fujikura. I really like the looks of the Rupas, very well made and more refined than the original Seida, less offset and the raw face really frames the ball well.

I've been telling everyone to get a spoon for years!

The iphone has been one of the hottest gadgets of the past couple of years. This topic is to talk iphone what you like about it what you don't, why you want one why you don't. Cool tips and tricks etc. Admittedly I don't own one but there is a reason for that. iphone is exclusively available on Softbank here in Japan. 2 years ago when I moved to Japan I was on Softbank but when I bought my house out in the Chiba countryside, I fell into the dreaded Softbank rural poor signal syndrome. Actually inside my new house I got ZERO signal. Because of this I ended up switching to Docomo which probably has the strongest network throughout Japan. So as you can imagine, with me being a tech junkie, I have craved for a iphone for these past two years. So much that I went out and got an ipod touch to fiddle with so I could learn the inner workings of these devices. This is my contribution to this thread since I don't actually have an iphone... yet. I have the 3rd gen touch on 3.13 firmward and I upgraded to iOS 4.0 and then jailbroke the device using comex's jailbreakme.com which does the jailbreaking right over the internet and installs Cydia right on your touch or iphone for app installing. (jailbreaking a device is not for everyone so user beware) iOS 4 (which is for ipad, iphone and touch) has features users have always wanted such as changing homescreen wallpaper and multitasking as well as an abundence of other fixes and features but users still want more which is why the jailbreak comes into play. Once jailbroken I proceeded to connect to the touch using SSH (secure shell) to in order to install mobile terminal then using mobile terminal's command prompt change the root password from apple's default alpine. Jailbreaking allows you to see the inner workings of your apple device and move files on and off your idevice like I did with the below screencaps from my touch. New iOS 4 allows you to change the home screen of your springboard: However you can change the entire look once jailbroken like I did with a new theme: You can now multitask with iOS 4 but double clicking the home button: So let's post about the iphone (and ipod touch for that matter), it's a fun topic for any gadget lover!

You don't need to speak Japanese. All Gold's Factory work including refinishing and custom jobs are all done through TSG. Just contact me and I will help you with all your options and specs. T

Not out till September and haven't received their demo clubs yet. Have already requested from tourstage though.

Haha the problem is if he spent all his time blogging he wouldn't have time to actually make putters.

Yamaha's are always more traditional shaped with a higher back rather than round or big and shallow back like most other brands. This is why even the D series appeals to better golfers wanting some forgiveness and not just the average golfer.

RC has long been one of the leading Fw makers especially for the better player as most of the FW's are compact and pear shaped, neutral or open faced and built to heavier specs. Amazing feel and accuracy with usually a penetrating trajectory which is why they are a leading choice of pros on tour even Non RC Pros.

Good stuff S. Glad to see I am not the only one in Japan able to test the goodies.

Interestingly the V201 launches lower due to the higher (but deeper) CG. The V201 Tour has been sold out for quite some time already. The key differences between the V and D series is not just the CG placement and shape of the head/face angles/bias but the actual face thickness. The V series is rather thick especially at the center. While the D series is much thinner faced. Because of this the V series best suits the fast swinger, hard hitter.

Year in year out some of the highest rated and best selling drivers in Japan are always Yamaha. Endo forged, great feel and design. Wonderful performance. I've tested them every year and loved them and I gotta wonder why I have not bagged one yet!

Wrote up a review on the blog for the new Endo forged S20C Egg Forged ... please feel free to check it out! http://www.golftoimpress.com/2010/07/prgr-new-egg-forged-irons-review/

It's probably on the light side for most in an FW. Keep in mind that 55g is the raw weight and once trimmed down for FW lengths we're talking like high 40's weight. Quadra actually makes a Fire Express FW shaft.

Very very forgiving driver. Made at endo, like the Yamaha's and feature great feel but a higher launch than typical Titleist drivers. Really the Titleist driver for the average golfer.

I've replied to all emails, if I have not replied (at least give me a couple of days to respond as I get 60-70 emails a day) then please PM me as its possible I did not receive them. No not different prices for different members... prices are too low to post in some cases and we don't need manufacturers mad at us for underpricing as there are rules for advertised minimums.

I used to be a team canada overclocker.... still a XIP at Xtreme Systems. man those were the days... winter -20C in the garage with the door open and dry ice or liquid nitrogen on my cpu...

I've already spoken to Lennie. Please resend your email. Thanks.

You mean not a question for me J? (^_^) I actually played a big part in designing those wedges! So I'm very happy with your comments as will Tourspecgolfer be. As for irons... in the works as well as other wedge models... all with hopefully the same soft feel and great performance.

Pretty good driver. Very good distance and solid feel. idrive gamed one for a while if I remember correctly. The T3 501 is a different driver and probably more forgiving but if you can strike the ball well the 390 is long.

As you can imagine its not easy to review so many irons at one time... especially when different manufacturers send them at different times. I actually never got R9 Forged demos from TM yet as their demo stock is in circulation and we are scheduled to get them later this month. However I'm considering doing mini reviews of each and then comparing them in several parts ie Design and dimensions, feel and performance.
