  • Posted on: February 6th, 2010 by: gocchin

I was lucky enough to have Nike Japan send me a demo for their new Japan Only 2010 Machspeed Forged Iron. I’ll be honest that I have had a mixed opinion when it came to Nike designs in recent years and when I saw the Machspeed line back in October I felt the irons might [...]

Taylormade 2010 Burner TP Iron One Month Update

  • Categories: Featured, Golf News, Industry Insider, Japanese Golf, New Equipment, Recommended, Recommended Posts
  • Posted on: January 27th, 2010 by: gocchin

So its been a month since the new 2010 Taylormade Japan Burner TP Iron was released and demand is still through the roof for this iron. Taylormade is having trouble keeping up with orders and they can’t produce enough sets fast enough. After receiving demos for testing I can see why. I had initially reported [...]

PRGR Limited Edition TR500 Forged Iron First Impressions!

  • Posted on: January 21st, 2010 by: gocchin

PRGR has put out some great irons in the past like wonderfully forged 900MD and 500bl athlete models, and while their GN502 line has moved to capture a large share of the average golfer market, they haven’t had a stand out forged iron for the athlete golfer in a while. This February, PRGR or Pro [...]

Taylormade 2010 Burner TP Iron: Initial Impressions

  • Categories: GTI Exclusive, Gear Sneak Peaks, Golf News, Golf Tech Talk, Industry Insider, Japanese Golf, Product Previews
  • Posted on: January 6th, 2010 by: gocchin

I was testing drivers on the launch monitor yesterday and had the chance to spend around fifteen minutes with the new 2010 Taylormade Burner TP irons. Unfortunately 15 minutes indoors hitting off a mat does not count for me as a review so I decided to write up this post as initial impressions. The demo [...]

Tourstage 2010 ViQ Iron Review

  • Categories: Featured, GTI Exclusive, Gear Sneak Peaks, Golf Opinion, Golf Tech Talk, Japanese Golf, Manufacturer Focus, New Equipment, Product Reviews, Recommended, Recommended Posts
  • Posted on: November 29th, 2009 by: gocchin

We thought the ViQ had left us…
Earlier this year when Tourstage announced 5 new X-Blade models in a one time release including newly designed and forgiving X-Blade GR models, many of us in the golf industry thought it signaled the end of the ViQ line. The largest segment of golfers in Japan is comprised of [...]
