While at the driving range today I ran into Manami Ogawa, an up and coming 21 year old pro on the Japanese ladies tour. I happen to know her father from our Kiminomori community where he helped us out with our garden. She is a fully sponsored Tourstage pro and I noticed she had new [...]

Before leaving for Hawaii for a 9 day working holiday, I had a chance to spend a week with the new 2010 X-Drive 703 and 2010 ViQ drivers.

Our new Tourstage demos have come in and I started out by testing the new 2010 X-Blade 703 today. This premium Japan forged S25C cavity back fits right in between the X-Blade 701 series and X-Blade GR for size and target audience.
