Some of our new products

Well I have not blogged for a long time.  I have just been busy doing jobs for multiple persons and haven't had chance to devote myself into this blog thing.  Good news is that we are doing very well!!  Here are some of our new products made for tour:

This is H209 Driver.  4PC forged cup face construction.  We made a several for a player C.H on tour and he seems to like it. Classic look and modern performance.

We also have some movements in iron design as well:

K101-MB!!!   6-PW only per request from tour.  It comes in PVD finish as well.

Also K101 PVD ......

Yes Black is beautiful!!!!    To be continued......

The best finish ever!!!

We made several clubs for the Korean stallion KJ Choi......  and he really liked our M1 series fairway woods.
So to make this long story short, he almost won the AT&T at Aronimink with M114 and M120!    2nd place with 2 of our clubs in his bag!!!!!    here's the Darrel Survey copy.....

How about that!!   Thanks Jeff and Apache Joe from Metrix.   We owe you one.  So I hope I will post again soon.    This guy below almost made it to the British......  

The First Round

Our man started on 2:18 off of 10th hole.   In short, he bogeyed every time he missed the fairway....... but made a few good birdie putts and finished +2.  Not so bad considering the marginal play by his standard.

Congressional - continued......

This is the hallway the leads to outside from the locker room...... many presidents and past club champions and winners.... 

More pics and reports later today..... Our practice round is at 2:18PM.  he tees off about at the same time Thursday from 10th tee.  One of the toughest hole in my opinion..... hard to stop it on that green. 

Congressional

So I am at Congressional working with Kenichi Kuboya and the whole crew all week.

This place has so much history.   I am fortunate enough to have full access including locker room this week and I found this displayed inside.

There are so many pics of us and our boy Kenichi on golfwrx website (Thanks Greg!!!)  i hope he does well this week.  I caddied for him on Saturday and the course was brutal...  long and relentless....   but the fairways are somewhat generous - wider than usual US Open?  You be the judge.   More updates later. 

US Open. Here we come!!

One of our Staff player from Japan won the Asian sectional in Japan for the US Open and he is in!!!!!

Our guy will be one of the only two Japanese golfers along with the famous(Infamous) Ryo Ishikawa. We are supposed to have dinner with Ryo and the whole GDI clan on Tuesday of the tournament week.  I will tell you guys more about it when it happens. 

Anyway we are so happy to have AKIRA in the US Open and Jeff is pumped because he will officially have a staff to service in a tournament - in the US Open of all places...... 

I have read this booklet and there are so many rules and restrictions...... Wish us luck in the US Open.

Tour Raw

One of our jobs here is to design US models based on the feedback we get from tour players here.   So we started off with wedges - 48deg all the way down to 60deg.  Most of these will end up in the hands of people with PGA tour card but we will sell whatever is left, probably just a few / loft,   to whoever wants in the real life.

Sorry for the lame picture..... maybe I should pony up and buy a nice camera.   These will cost you anywhere from $200-$220 depending on what you want done.  You will get 3 letters of your choice free and and also 2 colors of paint.  Whatever shaft you want and a very nice Akira grip made by the good people of Serizawa grips of Japan.

Look for this in Golfwrx spypics!!! 

Custom Workshop!!

Custom wedges and all other goodies will be made and be sold to you soon.

OK some serious cash invested..... now need another 10K worth of top notch tools.   I and a fine clubmaker will create anything you may want here in this studio.  To be continued...........

So I did not quit this blog thing.......

OK I am home.

It has been a crazy 2months.  I had to go to Japan to attend the JGTO event there, then back here to Hilton Head and to another event....... it never ends......

Sorry for me being a slacker.  What is a blog if I don't even consistently blog?   Hey at least I am working a lot, not surfing or golfing. 

We are pleasantly surprised that our products are received very well on tour.  We have a player using K101, now switching to KS201.  One top 30 player who is a T-Made staffer used our K109 PVD driver and almost got everybody including himself into serious trouble with the law.  Yes the Tour is a touchy place...... big company retains big lawyers.  I guess that's the name of the game - all about money and fame.

Here's our boy testing a new KS201 with TIssue DGX100.  Funny he likes his driver S flex but his irons X.
He is liking our products and showing everyone he plays with on tour what we have.  

So we are great on tour!!!  Please check golfwrx website cuz they have something Akira every week now.
 How about this nice guy here:

Anyone up for a spin?

Hey man Nice bag!!!!

This is our tour bag made for Jeff Street - our PGA tour representative.  The 1st bag ever for out US company, a memorable one in fact.  Our designers play with different designs and we come up with new ones quite often.  The one before was all red and white letters.......honestly this one is way better.  

Here's the better angle.....

So Jeff, this guy is waiting for you when you get here this weekend.  Doesn't it make your flight more tolerable?  

Bling Bling

Today we are taking a radical departure from the Prototype series product I've been introducing so far.....  so get your sunglasses on because you will need a pair to look at these pics.

 So here we go:

This is Called ADR Gold Limited, also known as $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Player Profile : Affluent country club folks who would like to have something unique in his bag with explosive distance capability.  This club is all about speed and projection, a lot of them in fact.

So it sports .865 COR face, way above the "legal" limit, but who cares if you can spare $$$$$$ for extra yardage!!   In case you want to now what it says on the face, let's just say it is something in line of "AWESOME."

Look at the ferrule it comes with, all glitter, all BLING!!!!      And the shaft; 24K IP plated, OMG this is so sick!!!!

Look at the lettering inside of the cavity.  This club totally represents!!!  So I take it back. You don't have to be a country club folk to sport one of these, but you've got be a PLAya.. 

Take this!! Click Click

 So in case you are wondering, we are selling this as well.  Price is TBD and we have the same high COR driver w/o Gold IP finish which will be a little easier on the wallet, a little.......

Ok take your shades off and relax.

Another fine turf shaving tool from AKIRA golf

Here's the evil twin of the K-101 irons I posted the other day.  This is called ADR TOUR irons.  It's essentially the same as K101s, but this one has different badge in the cavity and meant for mid - low handicap general golfing public for everyday turfing at your local tracks.   Whaddayathink?

Her face:

View from the above:

 And of course you always wanna look at her feet and see everything's fine and it's all there...... ( Sorry about the self portrait on the sole...)

Will be available at your local fitting specialist soon (hopefully).   Wanna hit it?  Please contact me. 

Prototype K-101 Irons

This is our stock tour van irons.  This iron looks so clean that these pictures don't do it justice.  Will not be released in the US market for another few months.   We may sell the heads only as components, or ship to customers with their preferred shafts installed.  Here's what she looks like..... nice huh?    

and the face.....

 

Take a peek at her SOUL (sole is a soul of any iron head??)

Sorry for the low res pics.....  Will provide better pics when we can afford a digi cam.
