nobmontana Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 https://ameblo.jp/golf-detective-maeda/entry-12337643039.html I kinda liked the previous Tsubame x Orion irons. These new ones somewhat have design resemblance of the Seven CBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo36 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I like the looks of the CBs, and I think you're right about them resembling the Sevens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobmontana Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I’d add the Masda Fast Muscle Back in that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually swap them in and remove the AF-Tour's. ..in addition I'll also add the Crazy CRZ Muscle as an honorable mention, or make it #6 Edited January 7, 2018 by gregoire56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 CGS Orions are made in Himeji. I suspect although they will not confirm this they are hand ground by Shinagawa. I can tell by the shape. They are a level up in fit and finish as they are polishing experts so their fit and finish is better than most Himeji brands. I have tried their Himeji X Tsubame Blade and it is outstanding! forgiving, soft, just well made and nice to look at. The factory they used for CNC does have the original 2-D cad work from the original Seven irons. Not saying they used it but when we left that factory to re-create it in 3-D and use full CNC there was nothing stopping them from adjusting it. I am impressed with everything they make so far. Pro Spec Wedge is pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the wedge which is a nice dense feel, similar to all quality wedges made in Japan. When I hit the irons, the feel is just so so - similar to most USDM irons in my opinion. The irons are also on the smaller side so forgiveness is average at best. Distance again is avg - 7 iron was 155 carry. I guess i was just expecting a lot given the look and the previous experience with the wedge. but nothing like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking about the "closer" series correct? I know why. Its the raw blank they start with, its the only one from Oichi that has a good enough shape and also it is too compact to start with. I used the same one on the oldest Seven CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
