wmclarenf1 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Is there a Black Gold version manufactured for the Japan market that plays slightly softer, is slightly lighter and is slimmer from butt to tip than the US version flex for flex. Is this true? If so, where can I get the specs/ Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, did the JDM Black Golds cost significantly more than the USDM version when you had Chris install them. I know the Black Golds on the 701's is an additional $90, what about your JDM version? Also, what flex of the BG's are you trying with the 701's??

+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm guessing they are the same despite the Made in Japan sticker, I have seen clubs made in China with made in Japan stickers on them so its hard to tell unless the product itself has it written. With Epon BG shafts are +15.00 per club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubHoUno Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Nice reading, Chris As a vendor of JDM gear exclusively, you could easily have said that the JDM Black Gold shafts played better than the the US versions, but you didn't, which just goes to show, that you're an honest guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
