Tourstage Drivers..... they're the best out there!

I'm still rocking the Zodia Kms.... 54 and 58...... small heads yeah, and now they're worn, no longer shred balls. They have been a revelation to me. They were the first Japanese import clubs I had ever bought and have been incredibly good to me, brought my short game on, no end. Sadly they really should be replaced soon, but there are so many alternatives out there. Looking is half the fun though eh?

come on man! spill the beans....!!!

65g Driver, 80g 3-wood, don't currently have a utility but am considering one.

Daiwa will only allow approved clubmakers to fit Roddio shafts, they have to send a certificate to Daiwa about the installation.

Great first post...... welcome on board

yep you're on the rocky road to (financial) ruin but golfing nirvana!

Lovely looking club Not sure about the blue hue though.... i'm a bit conservative when it comes to looks of clubs. What's the grip? kinda curious......

Have an 'MR23' X-drive with an Aldila NV65...... still the best feeling driver ever. Also have a 405 X-drive with GD PT6...... Current gamer is a 435 X-drive with Diamana Red...... great combo. lusting after a Roddio shod 430......

Then Again, this rant of mine is for those who really really want to improve their game. Many of us just want to hit better feeling, looking, and made clubs and enjoy the game more without getting too serious. ............ Never a truer word(s) spoken...... I doubt there are many in Internetland that are going to be pros or even really good amateurs, but we all want to get the max out of our games.

Good post!...... The last paragraph i can concur with.....

I still have some Zodias, which I love but fear have seen they are past their best now. Trouble is I can't make up my mind as what I should replace them with...... Epon X look fantastico, quite like the Tourstage (no surprises there then), always lusted after some Fourteens....... decisions decisions....

It'll probably involve members spending large amounts of money

As well as true loft, X-Drives are low spinning, needing faster swingspeeds to generate lift. I use a 10.5 435 X-drive with a Diamana Red, it doesn't balloon, a great combo (for me)

I've been using 54/59 for a couple of years now, and it suits MOST of the time, there is the odd occasion when I'm between PW and 54. I found with the 52/56/60 that I was using the 52 very little and wanted to carry a 2-iron. am thinking of returning to 56 SW though..... still reckon I can use my PW with half/3 quarter shots. All in all it is a dilema........ maybe have all the wedges at home and decide on the day? Mind you I'd probably l;eave them in the bag, wonder why it's so heavy and then get DQ'd for having toomany clubs in the bag! I too want to see what Carlton has to offer....... Come on Carlton!

Kinda like the line...... 'Why do men die earlier than women? ........ cause they want to!'

Gocchin, for someone so young in the tooth, your posts are always informative and entertaining. We are lucky to have you onboard

sorry if i'm being a bit dense but are ALL the Epon Technity woods now ss rather than TI, or is it just the 7 & 9??

we appreciate a) your candor and b) the inormation...... this is what seperates TSG , we get good great insights and a personal opinion, but one that is just put out there without reading like some political manifesto... re. Miura forgings..... IME they are always well behind anything that is produced by Endo. ONe of the reason why Tourstage offerings at the the top end, are always of the highest quality.

That really does look nice!

I hope they give you the same experiences my Zodias have for the past couple of years. They'll no doubt spin the ball like crazy at first, but then you come to rely on the feel..... good luck! .......

They remind me of my Zodias (in looks) which are still in the bag as they are the wedges I'm most comfortable with at the moment..... sorry my response is less than useful .....

Has anyone out there tried the Rombax X series shafts(the gold/yellow ones)? They seem like they might make a good fairway wood shaft, higher launching and all that. Whaddyathink?

Belgian Beer all the way..... (i used to live 5 mins away from the Stella Artois brewery in Leuven) Leffe BLonde.... a very common brew but I always come back to it (& u can get it in Hungary.....hurrah!)

the < 56 are assumed that you will be using them primarily from the fairway for full shots, therefore less bounce is desirable. The 56/58 have more bounce as most mfgs assume these will be used more often for sand shots where they assume you want most bounce. The 59 and above assumes that you will use this wedge for v.short shots from fairway/grass, therefore need (much) leass bounce. Obviously these are gross generalisations but you have to believe they've done their homework. If your requirements are different you can of course get them modified, or via the likes of Scratch etc. get them made to your specs.
