Posted June 1, 20159 yr Quite the week for Yururi it has been and still more to come. Introducing the Yururi Satin TATAKI by Okamura most and the notable difference is a RAW Grain look but this actually is plated satin so it doesn't wear like unplated wedges do. I love this finish because it's still soft, now more durable and allows you to see every turn of the hand that Okamura-san did when crafting it. ow is the original Tataki only released a year or two ago it's another really cool finish almost rustic it's not the normal dark or black finish other companies use the beauty lies within it's purposeful imperfections, it's a "coating" with an process applied on top of it so it's not a "plating" this means it provides a different feel not better or worse just different, I think the satin and or grain on the new Satin Tataki makes it feel softer while the original feels slightly clickier I could argue that I like that feel as well. So for me it's a toss up if your the type who prefers visual perfection with no blotches or little intentional scratches go with the new satin, if your a RAW guy then by all means the original's the way to go. Below Address of new Grain Satin Tataki Wedge: Thew new Satin Tataki is mid sized for a blade style wedge just slightly bigger than what I would call compact it's also more forgiving and easy to use in return, as you can see in the photo above it's top line is very thin doesn't this photo make you want to hit it? or at least get out and play. Available in an interestingly wide variety of lofts: 50.5/52.5/56.5/58.5/60.5 the lofts are supposed to be spot on. The stamping is slightly adjusted as well and the 52.5* you see above has a totally different sole grind because your need to open the face is less in approach shots. Below is the 52.5* wedge face on and it's shape is what speaks the most it looks pretty perfect to me it's angles and turns are very attractive. Mr. Miyoshi-san the owner and designer of Yururi Golf has taken his time with the Tataki, He already has a few other amazing players wedges in the gekku and gekku tour so this one had to be different yet appeal to the similar level of player. Forged of S25C in Himeji Japan this is a 5 X pressed wedge so impact is dense soft and pure at at the same while and the spin this wedge produces is probably better than what you play now and for those who know Yururi wedges they know spin comes with the territory. The Satin Tataki Wedge has a good amount of trailing edge relief a lot of toe relif with a nice smooth rounded leading edge, it has a decent amount of heel grind in the 56.5* to further open it up making it easy to open. The shape is reliable, reminds me of the cold forged vokey or the buchi wedges, the curves and smooth finish just glide through turf. Available and Shipping now in the TourSpecGolf ProShop "Click Here" these retail at 160 per head also available with most aftermarket upgrade shafts and grips these are TSG exclusive products and only 15pcs of each loft are can be produced each month.

June 1, 20159 yr Wow, the satin finished.. wow I didn't hit the Gekku Raw well and gave it to a friend, but I may have to rethink about Yururi after seeing this Mark
June 1, 20159 yr That discount code is rather serendipitous. I was waiting until June 1 to buy a set of Tataki wedges for work-related reasons. I love the look of the satin but the stamping of the originals is superior, IMO, and I dig the deep, rich color. After several hours of consternation, the discount code was used to buy a set of 3 originals. But damn, that satin is nice.
June 2, 20159 yr always been a huge fan of yururi wedges. had the mall at one time or another. those raw things are going to be be ball destroyers!!!!!
June 4, 20159 yr Author always been a huge fan of yururi wedges. had the mall at one time or another. those raw things are going to be be ball destroyers!!!!! There is a fun story of a tall loud and handsome Aussie that randomly met the owner of Yururi Miyoshi-san. This Aussie then kept feeding Miyoshi-san beers until he was ready to fold... I wonder who that guy was?
June 4, 20159 yr ahhhh................, tall tales and true. aparently he didnt mind a drink. cant wait to see his new wedges.

June 8, 20159 yr Trying to order the satin 56.5* but want 2* flat but I don't see an option or dropdown listing for a WV125 shaft. Sooo is the Modus 3 a better choice?

July 1, 20159 yr Can someone advice which is a better wedge? The Keigekiku vs The Tataki? I am contemplating either one of these. Appreciate your advice. Can someone enlighten me the difference between Keigekiku vs. Tataki vs. Gekku wedges? Thanks in advance......
July 29, 20159 yr Author I got these wedges from TSG. They look even better in person. Perform just like the other Tataki wedges. Spin exceptional and very versatile out of different lies. You have the normal Tataki also right? what is your opinion on difference in feel with the two finishes?
July 30, 20159 yr You have the normal Tataki also right? what is your opinion on difference in feel with the two finishes? I do have both versions. I started our golf season with the normal version and now have the new version in the bag. Finish wise the new ones win out, they look gorgeous in person. The photos are really good but don't compare to seeing them in hand. They both have crazy amounts of spin and are for the most part very versatile on a variety of shots. The newer versions feel a tad harder to me then the normal versions. This isn't bad just different. Both finishes hold up well even on the higher lofted wedges i use out of the sand. I would say if you are looking for a set of versatile wedges with good spin and want a unique look the new ones are just the ticket.
