We are definitely working together still and will be very much so in the future. As I noted in my other post, we are only complying with their new internet sales policy. So you heard through the "grapevine" incorrectly. (^_^) LC, that is the first time I have seen that driver and I highly doubt it is made at Endo. I think I will be sending Epon those pics to check out.

Hi Doc, You're not the only one who noticed so we should definitely let everyone know what is going on. Epon as a premium brand has always wanted their clubs sold through proper fitting methods and one to one dealings with customers. They have enforced a policy of no internet sales outside of Japan for their clubs. They asked us to help them set an example by complying first with their new policy so we being big supporters of Epon agreed to do so. While I do not agree with this move personally as I think it will reduce Epon's global reach and make it much harder for people to buy Epon, they do have their reasons and that is to grow their global retailer network and ensure that people are fit properly for their clubs. We will continue to support and work directly with Epon and still do believe it is a premium brand as you all know.

We should be able to get them for you. Let me check.

What you said is pretty much right. 3 4 5 for the AF-901. It depends on the set of irons you are playing. ie if your 5 iron has a 25* loft then the 25* AF-901 replaces the 5 iron.

It's interesting when PRGR first released this EGG Spoon it only came with shafts up to M-43 which is like 97mph. But suddenly low handicappers, fast and hard swingers as well as pros wanted it so thats why they offer it with upgrade shafts now. ] Shingo Katayama swears by this Egg Spoon!

J, the feel is interesting isn't it? It's not metallic or a tink sound like most FW's. Very solid.

The "Made in Japan" printing is not the typical Made in Japan that Nippon uses on their shafts so yes it is indeed a bit confusing. According to TM Japan the Burner Forged are Made in Japan/Made in China This is the new vague way of saying where a club is made as we don't know what parts are made where. Made in China could be the grip, it could also be the head. Made in Japan could also be the head? We do know for sure that NS Pro is made in Japan. Taylormade is never available as heads only. The Burner Forged will most likely be available for their custom shaft program including PX.

They have not been released yet but yes you should be able to buy the 3 and 4 individually.

Got to admit... TM looks to have done a good job on this one. Looks and feels pretty good! S25C with a very nice and clean satin finish and V Grooves.

We're working on it. Asics has gotten greedy and want a 5 digit buy in for any new account with them. That is just nuts. They have also priced the shoe rather high at 239.00 a pop!

Lucky Dave posted. (^_^)

I have never pullled or reshafted one though I might take a guess that they are parallel. Don't take my word for it! idrive might know since he had work done on one of his PZ putters before I think.

Stevo, I am pretty sure they are taper tip though they were also available in graphite, so it may depend on the set you have. 21 24 27 30 34 38 42 47 3-PW lofts 59.5* - 63* for lie T

Sizes really vary from brand to brand ie I am a small with some brand but a medium with others. Pearly Gates sure does carry menswear but PG is pricey! Very very nice stuff. Then again DWD is pricey too so yeah I'll check on getting PG.

Hi guys, just a heads up that we are working hard on bringing apparel to TSG. Including LeCoqSportif, Munsingwear, DWD, Adidas Japan, Puma, Mizuno Japan, and Tourstage. Look for them soon!

I'll take 10 yards (^_^)

Also just to let you guys know. Kamui just told me Non-conforming heads are a whopping 0.88 COR!!!

Several Japanese sites actually jumped the gun without Epon's permission at releasing those images and products. It's up to C if he wants to release them officially as we've had pics for over a month already...

You can order the Gold's in any finish you want. That is why they are so great. They are finished for you!

Just a note that both head only: http://www.tourspecgolf.com/Kamui-Works-Si...tom-Made-Driver and custom shafted: http://www.tourspecgolf.com/Kamui-Works-Si...tom-Made-Driver are now available in the pro shop. Remember these are hand made drivers with almost all specs customizable... even lie angle!

They don't forged irons. The Gold's CB is forged by Kyoei a forging house that has been in Japan over 50 years and where Miura worked and learned the forging trade before making his own brand. The CB-2006 is a great and forgiving iron but it is a retail model. What you see is what you get. The Gold's is hand ground and finished to the way you want it and can be customized with engraving. Both are wonderful irons with similar forgiveness and soft feel. The Gold's may be a touch smaller. It is typical of Miura to not release many models as the CB-2006 was released last year and as you said Hagane was just released.

The Quadra Fire Express is gaining rave reviews and more interest in Japan especially now that Shigeki Maruyama has put them in his driver and fairway woods! The reason why this Quadra stands above other shafts is the material 80t. Very responsive and full of feel and simply kicks and whips back to original shape faster and more accurately than other carbon shafts.

I posted a few weeks ago about the spotting of a new Diamana Red prototype on the Japanese tour. After speaking with Diamana Japan, they did in fact confirm that that prototype would be going retail in October. So the news is now official and we have Mitsubishi Rayon's new Diamana 'ilima shaft. As Mitsubishi said when the red proto was first spotted, the very successful first generation Diamana series was released with Blue, Red and White Boards in that specific order. Diamana then moved to a new method of manufacturing and design with the Blue Kai'li. So following that pattern a Red model is next in line. This new generation Red Diamana, the 'ilima, follows a similar pattern with the original M Series Redboard. While it is not another Redboard it is a mid kicking low spin driver which provides a higher trajectory than the typical Diamana shaft. It's meant for those who want control but need or want more carry. As with the kai'li, Mitsubishi designed these new Diamana's with focus on not only the way the shaft bends but the torsional rigidity of the shaft. By focusing on how a shaft ovals and returns to original shape, Diamana creates performance oriented and tour proven shafts that maximizes energy transfer at impact with minimal twisting. Stability and balance are the keys to the new 'ilima which feature a more rigid mid section and firm tip which result in great control and lower spin. The explosive performance of the new Diamana 'ilima is thanks to Mitsubishi Rayon's second generation manufacturing process and the use of M.D.I. or Multi Dimensional Interlay Technology. The layering of cross axis carbon with rings of additional carbon create minimal ovaling and a shaft that returns to its original shape quickly for a controlled whip like performance. The new 'ilima is named after the orange Hawaiian flower which has 5 petals and a series of stamens in the center. This flower was worn by Hawaiian goddesses in ancient myths providing protection. It is still a popular flower today in Hawaii and you can see the the ilima on the new Diamana 'ilima's flowerband design. The new Diamana 'ilima will be available in 60, 70 and 80 models featuring lower torque and a 50% balance point with mid kick. Pre order for the new 'ilima begins later this wee in the TSG Pro Shop!

Yup they are available as heads only. The Gold 456 is nonconforming only and is partially gold plated. We don't need that bling bling... (^_~) I'm just waiting to hear back on them to confirm all customizations including lie angle.

You'd be surprised at how much this head costs... very affordable for a custom head.
