2014 Japanese Golf Clubs - Bridgestone X-Blade, Mizuno MP Craft 513, Callaway Legacy Black Driver

Winter is the time when new Japanese Golf Equipment is announced.

 

Japan gets pretty cold in the winter time.

Right now in November on average, temperature is in the high 50s and as goes down to the 30s in the coldest days.

 

Japanese golfers seem to be excited about few of the models coming out this winter:

 

1. Bridgestone Tour Stage X-Blade Limited Irons

 

The Tour Stage X-Blade Limited is a combo set based on the following 3 models:

• #3,4,5 iron on the 709CB iron

• #9,P based on the 909 iron

4500 sets limited

with a Modus3 shaft, 7 piece set will cost about $1300

 

2. Mizuno MP Craft 513 Driver

 

Much like the MP series of irons, the driver is made to shape shots.

Trajectory is like an extension of irons

 

There is 2 models:  Power version and Normal version

 

Driver price is just under $800

 

3. Callaway Legacy Black Driver

 

Low spin, penetrating trajectory

 

There is a 460cc and 440cc

Take a look at these Japanese clubs! Srixon, Taylor Made, Callaway, Odyssey!

You have to admit Japan makes pretty good electronics.

Did you also know that they make fine golf equipment?  Not sure why these are not available in the United States but I surfed on the web and found these products that I want to put my hands on:

Srixon Z Driver:

The theme for this driver is "Aggressive Style".

They are going to be available starting 8/24 and 9/15.

They seem to have figured out that heavier head weight gives you more distance.

All 3 models have increased club head weights.

Yes the trend is heavier head, lighter shaft.

Taylor Made Gloire:

At 46.5 inches and the adjustments, this should make it as the longest adjustable driver out their (unless you customize something even at even longer length).

Taylor Made promotes it as the most forgiving and longest.

It is under 290 grams at this length!!!!

Swingweight under D4!

Odyssey ProType iX #9HT:

 

This is the putter that has been recently talked about.

Phil Mickelson uses a modified version (obviously since Japan does not have a lefthand model).

It is the #9 model with a high toe thus HT.

Adjustable weight technology.

I want one!

Callaway Legacy V driver:

Callaway Legacy is a very popular model in Japan.

It features many of the US technology such as VFT technology.

The cup face and hyperbolic crwon technology in all titanium gives the looks, sound, forgiveness and distance for all kinds of players!

They all look great!
