I was ready to pull the trigger on a set yesterday with MMT's and they weren't available... 

 

Oh well, on to the next

They’re available. Just click shaft options and look under Mitsubishi.

For some reason they changed the default option to Cypher shafts, but the MMT is still available at no up charge.

I was talking with our head pro about this a couple weeks ago and he said sometime late last year (I wanna say Nov.) a shipping container of Golf Pride grips fell off a ship. Over a million grips gone. That is what a rep for a major OEM told him. And things just keep getting worse. 

I’m working on it!

I had a golfing buddy just order some srixon zx7 with Nippon shafts custom spec

1 and half Week delivery time !! Very very quick 

He did also order some Cleveland rtx4 in the same spec with the same shafts.  

3 months delivery time on those for some reason

Ordered Apex 21 with KBS $ taper Stiff 120 on 10/9. Just heard from a Callaway rep I have been communicating with that they don’t expect this shaft in until July 2022. 
 

This goes for KBS Tour Stiff and Project X 5.5 as well which are my other runner ups from a fitting. 
 

Planning to hedge my bets and order the 223’s from Mizuno as I just tested these out with all three shafts. 
 

First one’s to the door wins and I cancel the other order! 
 

Crazy times for getting what you want…

I just checked every iron option and the MMT’s are NOT listed.  A call to customer support may give a different answer.  But, on the site, they aren’t listed.

I just looked myself, and yep, they gone!

Don’t even attempt to order kbs c taper Mizuno pulled kbs shafts and said c tapers won’t be available until 2023

Hmm.  So that brand new, uncut set of C Taper 120's 5-GW that I have might be worth quite a bit to someone then, huh?  🤣🤑🤑🤑

Yeah, I just checked also and they’re only available in A flex right now.

I think the same thing happened with the nvs orange wood shafts a couple weeks ago? When I called to ask about them, the rep said they’d be in soon.

I ordered a custom 3w from Callaway a couple days after one of my co-workers order two hybrids off the pre-owned site.  My 3w showed up in less than 2 weeks and his hybrids (with no changes) showed up 2 weeks after my 3w.

 

Callaway seems to be able to fill orders rather quickly.

What I have seen/heard is that Callaway and PXG are turning around custom orders with the fewest delays, with PING and Taylormade seemingly having some of the biggest delays. It's sad what has happened to PING, as I believe (and I have been a PING player for decades) that they are doing irreparable damage to their brand. Basically if your a big box store and you want to keep clients happy, and you can pretty much fit anyone into almost anything, the client will gravitate to the shortest waits. For me, I just buy OTR and do my own shaft and grip work (and bends). Yes it may cost a bit more, but I ain't waiting 15 weeks for a set of irons, sorry.

 

I had a fitting with Truespec a while ago and the fitter basically said, let's stay away from Ping because their delivery times are outrageous.

I know PING lost a container of iron heads last year that way as well.  Not sure but I believe it was the i210.

Heard the same.

Those PING containers that fell off the cargo ship were recovered.  A bunch of golf bags were damaged, but the club components were saved.

pxg 6 weeks plus in EU. but this seems to be due to the way they ship, which is bulk shipping rather than individual items

[Owentdc]

23 days to Canada. FedEx

 

[1puttTCR]

Ordered full set of P790s from TM in September, with Modus 120's.  Time has changed several times.  4/15/22 is the latest date I can get.  Probably just a placeholder, as shafts are probably stuck on one of those cargo ships off LA Coast.  

Also ordered new Vokey at same time, with same shaft.  I got it in 3 weeks.  

It must be TM and Nippon....

Ping used to make their iron heads in their own foundry, they sourced them out and now can't get heads in a timely manner. The older heads were bullet proof because they were made in house. Now, not so much. That Hydro Pearl finish gets plenty of complaints. The older raw SS heads could be kept looking good with a little work from a Scotch Brite pad.

Last Friday I ordered a set of Taylor Made p770s.  They have already been delayed a week to May 12. These things are never getting here.  Maybe by the winter….

Has anyone ordered from Miura? I ordered a set of TC 201 a couple weeks ago with KBS Tour stiff. I contacted Miura and they quoted me 4-6 weeks, but after hearing about KBS delays, I’m a little apprehensive.

I ordered a set of MC501 with KBS Tour V shafts during the black Friday sale. Had them in hand somewhere between 2-3 weeks! I would probably trust Miura on the timeline they quoted.

Good to know! Thanks!

 

Update: just got my tracking number from Miura. They’ll be here Monday! 2.5 weeks from order to delivery is pretty phenomenal considering all the delays.

Ordered i525 from 2nd Swing on Mar 13th. Shipped today and scheduled to arrive on Mar 24th, pending any FedEx delays.

Seems to be an issue all over, especially if its a custom order.

 

Srizon and Callaway seem to have the quickest turn around  times right now

 

 

[greenomics]

Ordered a custom set of Srixon irons with Project X LZ shafts in January. Received them within 2-3 weeks.

 

Placed an order for a combo set of Wilson Staff Blades and CBs with KBS Tour shafts earlier this month. Was told end of March at the time I placed the order. Now I'm hearing mid-April.

Has anyone ordered a Stealth driver recently? I ordered from my pro last week. Just wondering what my expectation should be? He said they've had good luck with TM... 

[this_is_golf]

I’m still waiting for P790s ordered on 1/4 from my builder and he said TM has been really bad getting him inventory. Maybe Stealth drivers have been different though?

Go on to the Taylor made website and build your club.  It gives dates on the components availability.  Might give you a broad idea.

Duh ...( Slaps self in face!). I read that before and obviously did not retain that information. Thanks

I wonder how Wilson is doing timewise? Does anybody know?

See my post above. Heard that they are waiting on a shipment of CBs, which should arrive in mid April.
