+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 It's always fun to launch a new brand, especially when its a complete line up of solid designs made for the better player. Akira Golf has teamed up with TSG and were excited as here's a brand that is offering us the ability to sell heads only of JPGA & PGA Tour Issue Products. I just completed a blog post with a brief overview of the brand, its backing, its philosophy, and what tickles me most about them. It will be listed in the TSG ProShop starting tomorrow. This week and probably the into the next I will be highlighting more specifically some of the products I think you guys will enjoy. Let's start with pics shall we: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizguy Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I asked about Akira golf back in August 2010 and you guys didn't have anything real positive to say( search Akira and look for the post). What's changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I asked about Akira golf back in August 2010 and you guys didn't have anything real positive to say( search Akira and look for the post). What's changed? What's changed is they released new product that's pretty impressive. Back in August 2010 what's known as the TM series today was under the label prototype and it wasn't the same. the TM-Prototype went super low! When it was released to the consumer they made it a bit more forgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eca Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I came across some drivers from eBay 6 weeks ago & it was labelled best driver 2005. Seeing it was spec I was wondering why it's Not on the proshop. The new line definitely looks very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 like the way they look but wish all those brands stopped overusing "prototype" and "tour" on their gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Like the wedges. Seen a few of their really old stuff on sale locally. Are these these the same guys that made the akira pride wedges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 The new products will begin to trickle in starting tomorrow. I'll be going over the entire wedge line tomorrow in the blog as well. It's quite the large line up, with all the different models it gets hard to keep track.

seesawgolfer Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 The fairwaywood looks good. Not sure about the driver but i want to see it from different angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I was looking at the Darrell Survey and noticed something interesting. KJ Choi had two Akira Clubs in the bag at the U.S Open. The Akira M114 Fairway Wood #3 with Ozik Radix Shaft & The Akira M120 Hybrid wotj Pzol XCON 8M2.

mizguy Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 In this week's Golf World (July 11, 2011) Bag room. K.J. had Akira 3 & 5 wood in the bag at Aronimink G.C.(AT&T Tigers tourney). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 While I'm not the biggest fan of the entire line up or how it's laid out (a bit confusing) there are a few that stand out big time. The M209 driver, M series fairway woods are a must try, the KS201 irons are the best Cast club I have ever hit. The wedges are fine especially the H2 if your a better player BUT the design has been done before many times so it's nothing new but still decent. The thing that makes people play the wedges is that they teeter on the line of being legal and illigal groove sharpness. Akira wedges and Kenmochi have some of the most spin in today's conforming wedges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogeydog Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ordered one each of the fairway woods: 3, 5 and 7. I need to decide what shafts to put in them. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Wondering if anyone can help me on this. We have sold a ton of Akira Tour wedges in the last 2 days. Anyone know what's going on to spark this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
