gocchin Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 It will be soon as soon as we get the word from TM Japan, but I did post the new GDO video preview for it on my blog earlier this week: http://www.inpakuto.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macjackass Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 It will be soon as soon as we get the word from TM Japan, but I did post the new GDO video preview for it on my blog earlier this week:http://www.inpakuto.com As my Japanese is non-existant, can anyone give a rundown of what is said on the video? The heads look great, only thing is they look a little closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Pretty much a thumbs up from the pros... as was the previous Japan only V-Steel the number one strength is feel, amazing feel and very workable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. To me, it looks slightly bigger (face to back) and maybe a slightly shallower face. Any idea of what type of shafts might be offered? And what is a price range, please?

Any idea of what type of shafts might be offered? And what is a price range, please? Yes a little more MOI I think in this one with CG further back. Shallower face as well. The previous v-steel which was the second generation was sold with a steel NS Pro FW shaft as stock for around $300 and with M.A.S.2 55 PLUS graphite shafts for around 350 (those are suggested retail prices) My guess is that they will be offered with some sort of REAX FW shaft and will be in a similar price range. We won't know for sure until TM tells us as they set all retail pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 What type of golfer are the V Steel geared for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 They've touted it as a balance between workability and forgiveness and playable by golfers 15 cap and below. The previous Japan version was applauded for it's superior feel over the original US model V Steel... this is supposed to feel as good if not better.
