Spoon Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Chris thanks for the teaser pics. would the genereal shapes be exactly the same with the only major difference is the new logos on the face etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 There are changes in specs as well. And also completely new products like the AF-701 (also in my avatar, hit refresh if you don't see it) (^_^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also completely new products like the AF-701 (also in my avatar, hit refresh if you don't see it) (^_^) 301 and 501 still look like the j and s. the 701 looks similar to the S from what i could gather from the pic. also wondering what those two dots are on the sole of the 701? so the x is gone for good coming 2008?

gocchin Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Tungsten weights in the sole of the 701 which is the replacement for the X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffer19 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I would resist all temptations. I would absolutely not buy another piece of gear until I reach my handicap goal for the year....... T, did you get my email about the head?

gocchin Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 from what i heard they are exactly the same as the current technicitys except for the wording on the sole. Actually Chris can confirm since he has them in his possession, but apparently their are minor spec changes like an even bigger face (longer heel to toe) and I swore he said to me deeper... so yeah a bigger face... (^_^) as well as different headweight from the previous model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 and I swore he said to me deeper... so yeah a bigger face... deeper? yikes! and i am struggling getting the hang on my current 460 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha_pro Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) deeper? yikes! and i am struggling getting the hang on my current 460 I really wish they would make a shallower faced 460 head. but that driver is damn good lookin! Chris, please tell me you didnt have one of those in your car when you were down here for the wedding!!!! I regret not begging you to take a look now.

Spoon Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I really wish they would make a shallower faced 460 head. i agree. im wondering why they would still make it deeper. current one is already pretty deep imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hey Alpha, had all of those in the trunk including some MP-57's for da braddahs to test out. I also wanted to swing by Carlton's place to give him a peek but he was off that day. The next day at the Palmer course I saw a killer young gun on the range who had a set of Chikara's being broken in for the first time. It was pretty cool to see them in the hands of a player who had no clue what TSG was. Guys the new Epons for the most part are the same with a new refreshing logo, the new design model is the AF-701 ( Absolute Forged ) that features tungsten sole weights to lower the center of gravity location. The replacement for the Type J the AF-301 looks very similar to the J but when i measured dimensions with a digital caliper their was less space between the top line and the top grooves meaning its a hair more compact but nothing I could notice without the caliper. Also and I may be wrong the offset seems a tad less. The Type S replacement is exactly the same when measured. I wont know for sure about the differences of the driver just yet but I do have a prototype that has a double bulge sole, longer heel to toe and a tad deeper face yet the second version as seen in the pic is 100% identical to the current Technity version. Rumor mill says a new EMB model ultra high MOI driver is due out early next month and some flat sticks coming our way by November and yes that driver will have a more shallow face design. New wedges... I think so, stay tuned. These new products are the completion of the product line with a more appealing logo design and model name, I guess not everyone was pleased with the Technity stamping. The official TSG release date is Sept. 15th with a Japan release in Jan. 2008! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be time to part ways with the TS bag and go back to Epon. any idea what styles of putters they are bringing out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Me likes - the 3 wood looks like an absolute rocket - nice and deep!!! and the 701s look they would be simple as pie to hit!! cant wait till the release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taipanli Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Now they're getting me interested. At some point I will have to try the AF301s and maybe the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the old logo better. But the type-s irons are so good I would play them no matter what the graphics looked like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
