Peter3putt Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hi Bought a used set of Kyoei irons (4-PW), seller bought the heads from TSG and had them locally set up with shafts+grips. He had not the receipt etc but said they where KCM, most likely bought in 2019, but he was a tad unsure. I cant find exact looking clubs here on TSG nor on kyoeigolf.com, they look similar to KK MB, but these seem to be in the finish "Arakenma Kurozame" with I suppose custom coloring, is it a custom order to factory? Or refinished afterwards? Would that be done by Kyoei or TSG or local clubshop? Thankful for any help! Best regards Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Original Kyoei KK MB with the Kurozome finish and 5 cut sole. Likely one of the earlier models that did not have the "KYOEI" logo on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter3putt Posted September 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Thank you very much nobmontana! Aha, so earlier models did not have the Kyoei logo in capital letters. that is where it all did not add upp (at least not by looking at product pictures online) Also, if anyone is wondering: they are amazing, had 716 CB/MB comboset earlier and the softness on the Kyoeis are on a completely different level. Sweetspot hit = you would not know you hit a ball if you didnt see it zoom away (on the other hand, bad hits on cold mornings = pain) BR Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Happy to help!! yes the Kurozome finish to my understanding is effectively a Black Oxide finish which is the closest thing to an actual raw head. You get the full softness of the Mild Carbon Steel whereas chrome plated heads are typically that much firmer at impact. If you don't mind the rusty looks after a while, can't beat the feel you get from these!! The proper back spin you get from these heads are nothing short of amazing.

Ian-500 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Look stunning whichever model/finish they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
