Here are the latest pics of Japans #1 player Shingo Katayama's bag. The SFI series is USGA conforming Japan only scheduled to release in Feburary. It is part of the SQ2 series, the SQ Square coming out has a MOI measurement of 5300 cm squared. Increased MOI is to gain head stability for average players, Shingo and several other Japanese players by special request wanted somthing in the 4300 cm2 range and assisted in the creation of the SFI " Just Do It " series. You guys remember tigers very first Nike driver? it was a JDI also.

There are prototypes of the SFI1 and SFI2 which just have different MOI measurements.

Enjoy the pics!

P.S has anyone seen the limited edition TW leather jackets only 300 made for execs and CEO's?

Ive got 1 for sale if your looking for premium leather.

Ignite Series putter pics coming soon....

very cool chris - japanese innovation rules again.

Any idea what the shaft is in the driver??

According to that picture it says it's a Diamana Prototype

I have a new driver with a stated MOI of 4,000 cm2. Does it mean that the head is somewhat unstable as compared to the new Nike?

I only speak for myself, but I really love looking at the Japanese tour players (boys & girls) bags. :tsg_smilie_cool:

The player that won the China Open was a Gauge / G-Field player. Any chance of some photos of his bag??

On the basis that his Gauge / G-Fields beat Tigers Nike's, the bag would be well worth a look. :tsg_smilie_cool:

Unfortunately I only have an old shot of Yang's bag. From what Chris said he's practically all G-field / Gauge Japan now except for his Honma driver.

A few months ago he was using:

Driver: Honma Beres 460 w/ ARMRQ Prototype X Flex

Fairways: Kasco 3 wood, TaylorMade V-Steel 5 wood

Utility: G-Field GFT-UT 3

Irons: Gauge Design Muscle 4-PW

Wedges: Gauge Design Studio wedge 52* and 58*

Putter: G-Field Leap (M I think it is)

Ball: Titleist Pro V1x-332

shingo has played a "weave" diamana for a long time

I've been holding back on getting a Nike driver....until I saw this one. Don't like the looks of the Square drivers from Nike and Callaway. Maybe I'll wait for the JDI 454.

Chris,

Any word if the SFI series is available yet?
