DMG Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Club assembled (aka made) in Japan perhaps... but individual components 'made' elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 nope ..club made in japan. hmm dont beleive that for a second. Specifications are design values, and thus are subject to chan ge. *Individual products may feature minor deviations in measurement. Suggested head speed and flex ranges: N.S.PRO RMX95 (S):43-48m/s. All irons are nickel chromium plated. Loft and lie angles can be adjusted ±1º in 0.5º increments. Adjusting loft and lie angles may resu lt in small dents in the nickel chromium plating, but the dents do not compromise performance or safety. Clubs: Made in Japan.  nobs.. proper tranlsation ?  https://golf.yamaha.com/products/rmx_vd_tm_iron.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobmontana Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 You got all the translations correct Stu-san.   I doubt these heads are actually made in Japan.  　If you look at the specs and footnotes one the other non-tourmodel  VD and VD40 they also say -  "Club: Made in Japan. "    which leads me to believe they are putting "Made in Japan" on everything when they are actually not. But Seriously?  why "VD?"   I learned in a special Physical Ed. session during high school that "VD" meant something very different!!  :(   With this new release,  the previous model RMX 020 will hopefully go down in price on the used market! I've kinda been eyeing on them.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Ian...Surprisingly able to hold up when you step on them also, for a lesser weight shaft. I just got 2 of the UT 70 and couple of the 95 wedge for the set, to see how they go. Trying to put a whole set together of the 2013 gear. Some of the best looking woods and UTs I have seen. As you know im all in on the 4.6RPM driver.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supo Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 2011 wedges were really good. as well... IMO   better than the irons of that year , which  we re a bit bland... same great feel but... bland.. hit em a cpl of times but not over the prior years. Also  the best design of the tour irons  to me are prob the 2010s . i just love the "lack of "cavity and the blade like look, but the 09s sabre tootth cats teeth look awsome as well on a small head.  dont really matter with them they were (are still) all such great bats. oh almost forgot , t THE  wedges by YAM were  the raw / black spin monsters. when you get those out of the middle with some head speed and a whippy shaft ala DG spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin shafts oh lordy lord  , just  watch the balls come hurling back at you without any skin on  the impact zone  !  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Glad to hear you got to use the CBI-80s built.   I feel that even after 10 years,  there has not been graphite iron shaft as good feeling as the CBIs. My regular flex CBI-80 sets will be used for the Seven x Shinagawa MBs sometime in the next few years.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian-500 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Those TR500's have to be some of the best looking irons EVER. Nearly as good as the MG MB5005, my all time favourite. Never hit either of them though 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
