gocchin Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 As you all have heard, Tabuchi-san who the brand is named after is a master grinder in Himeji and grinds all the clubs for Buchi and now with custom specs for TSG. When we stopped by his office and evaluated the Buchi models, they were all very nice but needed tweaking here and there. This is their current muscle back: It's a beautiful iron but we didn't like the stamping, blast art or the sheep so we worked with Tabuchi-san to do something much cleaner. We also wanted Tabuchi-san to reduce the offset and make the toe a tad boxier. For finish we experimented with a satin nickel plating BUT with the face left raw. This was quite difficult as the edges of the top blade and face and heel which are satin have to meet up with the raw face cleanly. Another option we considered is the nickel satin with copper underlay to soften up the impact. The blade with our requests showed up at my house today so I snapped a few quick pics (again please note it came as a head only so I just threw it on a shaft for photos). I think we could still square off the toe more and thin the top line and reduce even more offset. (this is the first go!) The MT201 is now available for custom order, you can specify offset, shape of toe and topline, grind of the sole, finish of the head ie raw, satin, black, head weights, lofts and lie as well as stampings or lack thereof. They can be ordered as heads only or shafted. If you email me I will work with you on your specs and options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Very nice!!! Is there a base price for heads only? And same custom options for their wedges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Very nice!!! Is there a base price for heads only? And same custom options for their wedges? Koga-san yes, same options for wedges. Pricing is on a per quote basis depending on what you need but much of it is included in the base price already. Drop me an email if you want to discuss!

Blader-X Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Stunning blade. You guys did well. Love the boxier toe as well as the what appears to be a very thin sole. This iron will be a killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blader-X Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Any chance that the new CB's will be available in left hand? Need to update my son's irons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duc! Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Tario, Stupid question but what do you mean by squaring the toe more? Can you show an iron with the shape you want vs. the Buchi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 These ARE great looking clubs. I look forward to seeing the CB's as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Any idea on when the CB's might be coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Richard I'll post the CB a little later today. Duc for the toe area, face on it is reasonably square as I had requested but at address it still looks quite round. A little more squared and straight like the X-Blade 909.
