+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 if the pga tour guys didn't have these contracts..would they play one of the above 3 irons...are they superior in built and better all around...are any of these 3 played alot on tour in japan?? All three Irons are played on the JPGA tour a lot. They are JDM so we would never see U.S players using them although Euro tour has a bunch of PRGR staffers. :cool: Superior in build to say the least. Ask any " real " club maker what happens when you take Japanese steel, Japanese grind work, finish, assembly and quality control all done in Japan compared to mass produced sets in China who push out factory quotas to make $$$ before considering quality and pride in their craft. A sensitive club maker can tell exactly how good the quality metal is via his hands when bending forged steel. A great example for any club maker is to bend the 2005TP's vs any of the above mentioned irons. both are forged but its obvious the 05TP's are made of a low quality forging in comparison. now will they work for you?? who knows, pick something that pleases your eye and mind.

Aluinser Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Could not agree more. Japanese forging for premium grade irons is an ART!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre2you Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Are the Tourstage Z101's (retail) Japan or China forgings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey3108 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Bending machine will pretty much tell more of how soft the metal is. So what Chris just said is pretty close to 100% IMO. Some people think feel is #1 on their list, some are cosmetic only. I know for sure, i'm looking for both! :love: Joe :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
