+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 This Topic is all about what myself and the staff here at TSG are testing and evaluating. I find that I really can't contradict myself in the blog or in official reviews without getting called out on it. Truth is in golf nothing is static and everything is dynamic. Some days the my favorite club can become my worse enemy but I don't really get to post that. Another reason for this topic is because many people ask us if they can purchase our demo clubs at a reduced cost and I want everyone to know that YES! you can yet because so many people ask it's unfair for me to notify one over the other when the club is finished with testing and evaluation and on the market for sale. For those who stay in touch with this on going topic will be able to no read more about our good days and bad days with testing but also jump on the opportunity to purchase our mint condition demo clubs.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Wednesday April 14th 2011: Yesterday Me, TSGirl, and Tatsuro enjoyed some range time and a round of golf at Spanish Trails GC in Las Vegas. Sometimes we do dedicated review day's at a grass range with good balls usually TPC other days we go out to play golf and hit clubs on course. Yesterday was a fun day we had range time for about 45 min then a full round of golf. Windy Day! - JBEAM 445 HG w/ Crazy TJ-46 Nero SR flex - Yonex 380cc Ryo Ishikawa Driver 10* w/ DJ-7 Stiff Shaft - Kenmochi KD-01 Black 10* w/ Crazy CB-46 6.7 flex - TourStage X-Drive 455cc w/ DJ-6 Stiff - Ryoma V-Spec 9.5 w/ Muziik BangVoo Premium Stiff - Srixon 2011 Z-TX Driver 10.5 with Miyazaki Kusala Stiff Flex - JBEAM 425-Tour 10* w/ Muziik 787 Speeder Stiff Notes: - Ryoma + Muziik was by far my favorite driver once again by a mile. - Yonex 380 was an amazing performer I thought no way could it be for me, I hit it very well. nice heavy feel setup great not so forgiving on my driver mis hits which are heel side. - Kenmochi I only hit 10 balls with CB46 is not a good shaft for me, feel was good club face fit's me very well as its got room on the heel side. slightly hollow quality sound sensation to it. - JBeAM 445 HG is a killer the shape from above is a bit blocky round if that makes any sense, feel was VERY good, great distance shaft may be a hair soft for me. - TourStage 455 feels damn good for a big head, I love TS products can't fault this club for anything well rounded. I played with the Mizuno Hokkaido's yesterday instead of my Yururi's. nice! Today Is all posting and pics and some club making. Tomorrow is a dedicated testing day and video shoot at TPC again. Demo clubs will go on sale this weekend! Stay tuned to this post! ** Gocchin ** I know he has the RC demo's and I know PRGR ID's are coming his way maybe he can chime in! ** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogeydog Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Chris, Can you add some comments about. The Muziik? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Sure thing B, As many of you already know Muziik offers shafts, grips, and a really amazing putting aid called the E-Ball which is a 70/80/90 gram ball. The Wood Shafts ( In order hardest hitting to softest ) Muziik 787 ( S = 75g X = 77g ) Muziik BangVoo Premium ( There are many flexes. Actually they have 2 different Stiff's one at 250cpm the other at 260. I'm playing 260 it's 67g ) Muziik BangVoo Premium Gold ( Stiff = 59g ) Muziik BangVoo Premium lite ( Stiff = 49g ) Muziik BangVoo Ladies ( L-Flex = 46g ) Tatsuro is absolutely in love with the 787, it was too stout for me. I am absolutely in love with the BangVoo Premium in the Ryoma, Honestly I like it better than any Crazy or FireExpress I have tried. The kick feels vibrant yet smooth and the dispersion is super tight, I was comparing the tip sections of the Muziiks to the Crazy's and the walls are thicker with Muziik. The BangVoo Premium utilizes Rombax tech while the 787 uses Speeder tech.. I could not feel the kick in the 787. Also the Premium BangVoo does play a bit softer than the 260cpm stated when attached to a head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 sounds great, i'm in! i enjoy your blog posts but they are kinda disconnected at times comparing to the stuff on this forum.

Kiwitown Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hi Chris, Sounds good. I watched your review on the JBeam 425 Tour, can we get your opinion on the 455HG Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Tomorrow Tatz and I will be hitting a ton of balls with it so there is a review to come. Also Bad news guy's I just found out that Muziik is unavailable for 2 entire months because Fujikura Shaft's production facility is located in Fukushima so they are rerouting manufacturing to Nagano.

Eca Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hi Chris, - Ryoma V-Spec 9.5 w/ Muziik BangVoo Premium Stiff are you bagging this right now or still with the Crazy CRZ-460? Any comparison between those 2? I'm salivating over the ryoma bangvoo combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comparison between those 2? I'm salivating over the ryoma bangvoo combo. Yes Ryoma V-Spec 9.5 with Muziik is my gamer. Big difference in consistency, flight, and performance against the Crazy. Would be nice to try the Crazy driver with the Muziik shaft though. and to Supo, Your Muziik 787 was the last one in stock, you just made it pal!

Vegaman Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Wow, some really hot clubs you got going threre! Like some sort of smorgasboard hu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Yesterday's reviews are done, We only had time to run the Ryoma and Yonex 380/420/450 along with the 2011 ONOFF Forged irons. Damn those ONOFF irons are sweet, feel is so pure and soft I may just bag a set. Bigger than most players CB's yet even Tatsuro couldn't get over the feel. The Yonex clubs were awesome also, the REXIS shafts we were testing totally sucked! made in Japan but designed to fit the price point of the U.S market. Yonex has me impressed. Just got the Ezone wedge in also, you guys are gonna drool over the pics, finally something new in the wedge industry. Can't wait to post those. Also new blog up on GTI, its the ryoma review. ** ding dong ** just recieved the 905 limited MB's and CB's by TourStage! Reviews Reviews and more Reviews to come this week. Serious though I could really use some help testing all these clubs, will anyone come to Vegas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMan Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) All these reviews on TSG & GTI are really great! Generally, without the opportunity to try out it can sometimes be a hit or a miss when choosing a club. I believe the feedback from all the testing helps those interested in making a more informative decision before taking the plunge. If only I wasn't half way around the world right now, I would raise my hand to volunteer for the offer to test out clubs.
