I have owned 2 sets of irons from Japan. They were both really good.

1st set was Ping Rapture irons with just a small amount of offset unlike the US version. They had a black prototype shaft that was very tight. Awesome set.

2nd set was a set of Tour Stage forged small cavity back irons with Nippon shafts.

Metal Factory fairway woods from Japan are still one of the best that I've ever played.

LA Golf and Tour Edge have been doing well in their testing too. Yest to see either of those in a shop yet.

Tour Edge is in PGA Superstores.

Club Champion has some LA Golf shafts, etc...

Tour Spec usually has some Japanese offerings.

Would love to see the ROI model as to when the potential investors would see a return on their investment.

I don't see any avenue to profitability without a major reduction in tournaments payout and the nullification of existing contracts .

Were the vendors ever paid from the previous tournaments ?

With the economic conditions, no vendors would extend credit without major security to fall back on.

I have known Trevor for 20 years, he is a great guy.

Great irons especially with the MMT shafts in them.

With that said, I am trading my in for the Srixon X5 irons. Not because of being unhappy with the 790's.

I just love the feel and the performance of the X5's.

At least TaylorMade is going back to a 2 year cycle on clubs now.

As a whole our society has become the largest collection of A-holes ever in modern history.

Social media, poor parenting and outside forces are corrupting all parts of our lives.

10* bounce, 58 degree TM M5 raw

Feet close together

Didn't look up - I am very aware of where my head is because of my neck surgery.

Fairways are firm right now.


I can say two things, I have owned every top lob wedge made and they have all be cruel.

The only one that was somewhat dependable was my original Ping Eye 2.

I clean it after every round and treat it nice.

But it continues to betray me.

On #18, 30 yards out on a par 5, hit it anywhere on the green and 2 putt for even par on the back , my best effort since my spine surgery 8 months ago.

I think, hit it crisp, stop it on a dime and at worse 2 putt. Easy shot.....

Well, it betrays me again, I digged a 4 inch hole in the ground and the ball goes 10 feet. Took a 6 on the hole.

So now, it's in the closet and will never see the light of day until the horrific memory fades. Only to return to the bag and break my soul again..

Excellent irons for sure.
