Gold's Factory GF models?
At the moment only the anser No2 FE or SUS303 and the GF00A SUS303 are available. I am going to check with the Master though what heads he can still do.

PRGR EGG Spoon Video Review and Sound at Impact
It's most likely louder as I was so concerned about capturing the true sound that I had the camera 20" away from the ball and less than a foot high off the ground. So the sound that was captured was much closer to the ball impact than the players ear would be.

PRGR EGG Spoon Video Review and Sound at Impact
You guys really think the sound is terrible? (^_^) I did find it odd at first but I don't know about terrible. I found the EMB more terrible as that sounded like the head cracked open. I've grown to like the sound but like you said, performance is the bottom line. Maybe bad sounding clubs are long? (^_^) Even my playing partners started liking the sound. Whenever I hit it they knew right away it was the Spoon. I'd love to have showed the ball flight but this is the range in my backyard (in the community here) and its only a 100 yards long!

Crazy V ilima
Hi A, The TJ-46 SR would be a close. All the LY series are higher launching and have good feel. As a matter of a fact there really are no low launching Crazy shafts. They all launch mid to high with low spin. The LY have the most feel and kick while the 50 and 80 have strong control (less perceived kick).

Taylormade R9 TP Forged Iron & TP Burner irons
The Burners are a TP model and aimed at single digit players. Not a GI model. That would be the standard Burner or even the inbetween Burner Forged. The Burner TP has less offset even than the R9 TP Forged.

Kamui Works
Are you referring to their all new TE100 hybrid iron set? It just came out and we will be getting demos in soon to try. Looks pretty good actually. I'll scan a pic later to put here.

Taylormade R9 TP Forged Iron & TP Burner irons
All the TP models should be 0.355" but the Burner Forged might be 0.370" because it is also offered with Bassara graphite which is 0.370". The Burner TP is 0.355" even though it comes with Tour AD graphite as Tour AD is 0.355".

Any love for kamui fw woods??
A couple of months ago, I was having a real bad day with the driver so I switched to the Spoon as well and my playing partners swore I hit it longer than my driver as I was still matching them in distance but was far more accurate with the Egg Spoon. I can change all my clubs in my bag for this year... in fact I did... but not the Spoon.

TS X-Blade 703 vs Fourteen TC1000 vs J spec Rapture
Great info as always Randy. The 703 are indeed one great looking iron and I actually prefer the standard 703 to the Limited model. The cavity of the 703 looks strong and refined and is the best looking of the bunch design wise in my opinion while the TC1000 is the cleanest looking.

Bag question
It depends on the bag really. My mini Titleist is also shorter, but my dwd is taller as is my ONOFF by an inch. It could be a Titleist thing.

Grip manufacturer on Fourteen irons/wedges?
Fourteen lists the grips as FoCH Rubber M60 size.... now to figure out what FoCH is...

TM Burner Forged versus Callaway Diablo Forged/Legacy
Hi R, As with all TM clubs, no heads only. Burner is available though for custom shafts.
-
Driver feedback...
None of these drivers are available as heads only from the manufacturer, not even to us. Are you getting them as heads only? The XXIO does not really match in this group. Shallow face, long head, very closed face angle, aimed at the very average golfer while the others are for better players. The Legacy and Z-TX probably have the best feel in my opinion. The 440 has a very hot face too though and very good trajectory. All three are in my real loft test article. (actually its the Legacy Type S) and as the specs show, the 440 is actually the most penetrating launch.

TM Burner Forged versus Callaway Diablo Forged/Legacy
Both are very good irons. While the Diablo forged is the Legacy Forged in disguise, to me it looks like it has more offset (I would have to check the numbers to verify). The Legacy Forged is in fact smaller than the Burner Forged but has a slightly thicker top line than the Burner Forged. Feel on both are unmistakenably forged but both will give automatic like performance. The Legacy technically has an undercut but you don't feel it as it has a vibration damper in it. The Burner Forged also uses inverted cone technology and has a very cool pearl like satin finish. The Legacy actually has an interesting almost beads boron like finish as well.

what 3w are you playing?
Same here... I hit my EGG Spoon as far as any driver. Lately I have been using it off the tee as I am far straighter and accurate with it than a driver at a longer length. I am considering getting a 13* just for off the tee.
-
what 3w are you playing?
It's not high pitched actually. I will record the sound for everyone to hear. I have gotten used to it and like it as do the people I play with. They always know when I'm hitting the EGG.

Kamui with Quadra Fire Express??????
The other is just Kamui and they offer completely different line of products ie Typhoon line. The one we carry (though we can get the other one too), is the original Kamui Works which makes the Asiri and Silver and Gold lines.

Taylormade R9 TP Forged Iron & TP Burner irons
Hehe I am glad you all like my pictures (^_^) Honestly though TM Japan irons are superb looking even for TM! The Burner TP as I noted in my post is simply fantastic. I have been bothering our TM Rep non stop to find out when custom options will be available but still no word....
-
what 3w are you playing?
I actually love the feel and love the sound.... best 3 wood/4 wood around.
-
what 3w are you playing?
PRGR Egg Spoon but its a 4w 17*, thinking of adding a 13*

Counterfeit JDM clubs piss me off
Yes that's right when I visited the factory with Chris they were forging, Titliest, Cobra, Callaway and we watched them manufacture Legacy Drivers, Yamaha and S-Yard drivers during our visit. (Nike drivers at the time too but not anymore) We even got to join in the QA line and pull out a few heads that did not meet standard. It was quite the experience. The Endo Factory in Japan is huge... it has far more capacity than just making Epon which is a small brand compared to the big OEM's. Certain clubs are sent off to Thailand for finishing and assembly as costs are lower there so it really depends on the brand/OEM and their requirements. As a matter of fact while we were there, Titleist USA execs and management were also touring the factory.

Clash of the Titans
It would have been nice to try the Kamui 456 in there too. I believe it is the softer of the two Kamui's .The 420 is more solid but the 456 is more soft. Great info as always B!
