kaaayelll Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Don't mean to steal any of Chris' thunder, but was very interested to come across the following: http://www.chujocraft.com The products look great (something for everybody!) and some legends are involved. Most interestingly for us here, holding prominent roles are Kenji Kobayashi of Endo/Epon and S-Yard fame and, wait for it, wait for it...Tario!!! I know you'll join me in wishing them the best and trying out what promises to be fantastic products. I know those blades have my eye...

bngolfer Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Looking quite nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 It's all good Kaaayell, yes Tario is the branding concept guy, his company is called Digital Konbini, Niimi is the owner with Kobayashi as the manufacturing advisor. Irons are made by Endo and are based on the Epon AF301, AF502, AF-Tour. I wish them the best as well! Expect them to be at the U.S PGA show.

gtrader88 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) The CB indeed looks like Epon 302 Edited January 26, 2016 by gtrader88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 love the blade..........., that's intersting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveraul Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Wow.. Hopefully we do see some interesting drivers (and putters which seems missing from the current lineup) from the trio.. Maybe a blockbuster driver that will surpass T.388? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daamartin Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 The blades do look nice. Lofts not too jacked up either and plenty of meat behind the "happy place" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigo88 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Tario? TSG Tario? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Tario? TSG Tario? Yes formerly of TSG, he is now Digital Konbini Tario ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Looking through the designs, I see A LOT of similarities across multiple companies (Epon, Hogan, Callaway - FWs, Adams - Driver and even the recent Crazy MBs)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaayelll Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Indeed. Epon itself clearly got a lot of inspiration from Hogan, so I'm guessing Kobayashi is a fan. I see some Macgregor in the irons as well. As far as the woods, the "speed slot" or whatever it's commonly called stood out to me. Maybe we're seeing an acknowledgement that the US companies know something about wood tech after all? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
