+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 On to TourStage now! I think the X-Series get's lost in translation at times and what many consumers don't get is that it's designed purely for the Pro type player. Lot's of scratch or plus golfers would read that and say oh that's me but what we have to understand is that at the highest level such as the U.S PGA & many on the JPGA desire more Firm or Solid feeling Drivers, Irons, and Putters. The good to average consumer usually desires a more soft sensation at impact and that's what TourStage designed the GR Series for. TourStage could perhaps have the best R&D and technology around. They use ENDO for much of their manufacturing. In this post I'm going to leave the tech talk to Gocchin as he is almost ready to launch his TourStage blog post. 2012 TourStage X-Drive 707 Driver 2012 TourStage X-BLADE 707 Irons TourStage X-Drive GR Driver TourStage 2012 GR Forged Irons New TourStage X-FW Type-T Fairway Wood 2012 Japan Golf Fair Video: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IshikawaFAN Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 707 looks sweet! Can't wait to hear it in the demo vid. Bore thru? Not a fan of the # on the toe of the 707 x blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Quick question, of all the drivers available... all of them, which is the most technologically advanced? Usually TourStage X-Series but keep in mind it's designed for solid (firm) feel above forgiveness. Any new things from Mizuno? Hear they are coming out new drivers and woods this year Yes JPX AD series and they were not so hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IshikawaFAN Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Will the gd BB be offered instead of the Di? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yes Mr.D. Of all, off the top of my head it would be Tourstage and Yamaha. The new graphite design BB series promotes straighter shots while the DJ was more for distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 It's ONOFF's turn and I think equipment wise it's their best line up yet. First off the Type-S fairway wood is my new fav, I hit this and was shocked how hot off the face it is and it's feel made me shockingly happy. They really did a good job with this one, maybe not the most forgiving but for the purest looking for a pro style package this is as good as it gets. The Shingo Limited wedge was another one I didn't expect to enjoy so much the thing I liked most about it was how stupid easy it is to hit, ball go up and straight no problemo. The Endo made Type-S driver was a gem as well and Tatsuro's top pick of the players woods at the show. Lot's of great ONOFF product and more and more TSG customers are leaning that way due to the face and lie angle adjustments that can be done through our friends at the LABO SPEC department. Enjoy the pics! 2012 ONOFF Type-S Fairway Wood: ONOFF Type-S Driver: ONOFF Labo Spec "Shingo" Limited W358 Wedge: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Royal Collection Tour VS Fairway vs Onoff vs the Type S fairway? Feel, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 wow that wedge. does that shape just scream ping zing to anyone else but me or am i mad ???? thsoe fariways look beautiful. along the lines of the fairway arms pro spec form last yr ( the utlilties ?) very very good looking things ill be shocked if the baron doesnt play these fariways this season. which is nice......., bec ill be able to have a crack at them early doors. the onnoff show case was my fav at the show, thsoe guys know how to attract ur eye to thier goodies thats for sure. chris any news on the proto shafts yet?

+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Royal Collection Tour VS Fairway vs Onoff vs the Type S fairway? Feel, etc.. Hand's down ONOFF, feel, setup, and hotter off the face. I think RC has lost the lead they had in fairway woods a couple years back. Their product still looks great and has a nice profile but performance wise it's just a par when stacked against Ryoma, PRGR, and ONOFF. wow that wedge. does that shape just scream ping zing to anyone else but me or am i mad ???? thsoe fariways look beautiful. along the lines of the fairway arms pro spec form last yr ( the utlilties ?) very very good looking things ill be shocked if the baron doesnt play these fariways this season. which is nice......., bec ill be able to have a crack at them early doors. the onnoff show case was my fav at the show, thsoe guys know how to attract ur eye to thier goodies thats for sure. chris any news on the proto shafts yet? I think that's what Shingo wanted. It's not nearly as clunky as the Ping Zing but we all thought the same thing, looks like a Ping! none the less It's the best darn ping look alike I've ever hit. It started as only 200 available worldwide now they are down to the last 50 or so, It's now or never! To stew the new Type-S FW & UT's are actually a nice upgrade over the Pro Spec & Labo Spec UT of last year, weighting and profile makes it a bit more forgiving. The UT feels like an evolution of the Labo Spec of last year but this FW seems totally different in terms of feel, hotness, and ease of use. Not too deep not too shallow everyone was raving about it at the show. New Proto shafts are exactly that, Only proto's not even Shingo has his yet. The ones you saw at the Roddio booth are still under development. They could just be production dummies at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
