Hi everyone! Im Tatsuro aka xerobound. I'm a TSG equipment tester and specialist and will be around the forums more often. Some of you may recognize me from videos and reviews on the gti blog. :) Here's a little bit about me. I was born in Japan and grew up splitting time between Japan, Hawaii and California. I've been playing golf since I can remember and have been in the golf industry since my first job as a teenager. I've been involved with various aspects of the golf industry and just love everything about the game. I especially enjoy seeing the difference of golf between the U.S. and Japan.

As I started playing golf in Japan more often, I started to see that Japan offers so much more selection of quality golf equipment and ever since I hit my first JDM golf club I was hooked. I've been around US and JDM golf gear and thought I knew a lot about it untill I met Chris (tourspecgolfer) and gocchin (Tario). They surprised me with so much information that was new to me and I was intrigued.

After spending alot of time with gocchin, I've learned so much more than I ever thought possible about Japanese golf gear. (with new and exciting info continuously coming in.) Golf is constantly on my mind and I'm glad to meet you all:) Feel free to drop me a line or two.

Yep. They been good to me, but I always feel bad for my clubs because I'm constantly searching for for out of my equipment. Lol The wedges are producing great spin around the greens for me.

Thanks and nice to meet everyone. I'll be doing a lot more reviews coming up. Ill try to be very detailed to help everyone make great decisions on their next equipment. You'll also find me expressing my love for golf especially jdm stuff. :)

i'd love to see a picture of your bag. how are you liking the geotech tour issue irons? have you hit the newest geotech proto ones and could compare the feeling between the two?
