October 20, 200519 yr Thx Mr.Zodia! As always killer posts you are one of our greatest! Here is the skinny on the new product! The new Tourstage X-Blade CB features a new inner Ti (titanium) composite within the #2 thru #7 Irons. It has a more player profile with thinner topline, less offset and a more rounded sole. Made of 1020 soft forged steel. Currently Japanese mags say Maru is testing this along side the X-Drive 435 which he claims to give better directional stability than the 405 model. The new X-blade is sheduled to be released December 16th with the new driver at side. The top Japanese players Naomichi Ozaki, Katsumasa Miyamoto, and Kiyoshi Miyasato have also put this deadly combo into the bag. The rumor was that these new XCBs were the MR-23CB's even Golf Today hinted this. I guess we were all wrong which leads us to the question will there even be a new MR-23? On a Graphite Design side note the new Tour AD PT-6, PT-7 and PT-8 will be shaft options in the XD435. This shaft is supposed to go head to head against the Diamana
October 20, 200519 yr awesome info guys......always a step ahead! :cool: the new irons rock, not sure i like the polished chrome but the shape looks sweet! any idea chris or zodia if these have turbo rubber? also chris whats the beef on the new graphite Design shafts p-6. p-7, p-8???? first ive heard of them! i was going to try one of the new I-65 2 shafts but do ya think it would be worth the wait for this range?
October 20, 200519 yr The irons will have to go on the xmas shopping list! The 435 will have to wait! Thanks Mr.Zodia/Chris for the info/pics.... much appreciated
October 20, 200519 yr :cool: The marone finish on the new driver looks very funky! The irons are pretty good, but I think my heart belongs to Gauge! :love:
October 20, 200519 yr On a Graphite Design side note the new Tour AD PT-6, PT-7 and PT-8 will be shaft options in the XD435. This shaft is supposed to go head to head against the Diamana chris - is this the shaft with the same design as the ut/w/i series in the blue and white color scheme?

October 21, 200519 yr Chris, Roughly how much is the new X-Drive 435? And when will you be taking pre-orders? ignore the questions ... found the answers.
October 21, 200519 yr Mr ZOD, There are also other shaft options than listed for the XD435 like: Diamana 63 & 73 Diamana Red 63 & 73 Graphite Design M55, M65, & M75 Graphite Design I65 & I65 type 2
October 21, 200519 yr quality! i think il be ordering mine with the p eries graphite design! like the comparisson pics Zodia! new x blade seems to have a higher cog.....ie more player! what does the insert consist off? tungsten? are those production in Japan or China?

Â fhantom i think all tourstage irons are now produced in china! any help guys? Hey plus, I know the insert is either titanium or a titanium composite. I'm thinking it is designed to move weight around and give more cavity-like forgiveness and blade like appearance without sounding hollow (think mizuno fli-hi). This is pretty much the same construction of the current TS X-Blade. It looks to me like it raises the COG which should definitely bring down and create a more boring trajectory. As for the production place, I think the only clubs being assembled in China are the ViQ irons and maybe woods--but I'm sure someone will chime in before I can verify that (I have some of the catologs at home--currently at work). beruo

October 21, 200519 yr :cool: Guys the speed at which you access information is truly unbelievable! :smile1: Keep up the good work
October 21, 200519 yr X-Drive 435 looks very nice - face seems real deep. Is it just the pictures or is there really a red hue to the finish on the clubs's sole? X-Blade CB2s really just look like ViQs. Haven't looked closely on the website but at first glance that's how they appear. My W505 is starting to work out really really well so I have to think twice about another driver. Still might order one as Tourstage is very easy to resell in the event it doesn't work out. Have to try the GD PT shafts but their torque rating is slightly higher than the M series or Diamanas. What I'm looking for from Tourstage is a revised Airmuscle! Fyi, there's also a new Tour bag and a whole range of gloves. TS gloves are awesome.
October 21, 200519 yr definately is a red hue of the new 435! and im not sure i like it, but bar the colour i love the look and shape of the head! tourstage 435 isnt out for a while yet......so hang tight to the srixon! :cool:
October 21, 200519 yr Chris, have you hit the new X-Blade CB II's and if so how do they compare to the original CB's? My CB's are the best clubs I have ever had for my game, so I am interested. Thanks, Bert-B

Â My CB's are the best clubs I have ever had for my game, so I am interested.Thanks, Bert-B Sorry I have not hit them, but I am putting my order in for the new XCB and X435 this monday. Will they beat the NC-1's or MB2's? I seriously doubt it but if it does I will be one happy man, Im looking for a new set but it MUST earn its spot.
October 21, 200519 yr I'm still lovin' the original X CBs and they are still my gamers, but thoses 2s are lookin' better and better :cool: Chris (or anyone else) I mentioned earlier that the X CB2s look a lot like the VIQ forged. How do the two differ?
October 24, 200519 yr I'm still lovin' the original X CBs and they are still my gamers, but thoses 2s are lookin' better and better  :cool:  Chris (or anyone else)  I mentioned earlier that the X CB2s look a lot like the VIQ forged. How do the two differ? I really cant say until I hit these. They look like the ViQ's in concept only but im sure they are much much different. The difference IMO would be a thinner topline, less offset, thinner sole and less bulk in the top back portion. i guess the new xdrive is maroon colored. Only the rear portion is maroon, it is similar to the 2004 XD365 that had this same color accents on its sole.
