Humm…

if you want s*** made in Japan you will find s*** made in Japan.

if you want high quality made in China you will find high quality made in China.

same for the whole ASEAN area.

i lived and worked in Japan, and i still working with them, as China, Indonesia, Thailand etc, etc…

it’s just about the budget you want to spend and the aura of the brand, nothing less, nothing more.

Weren't Fourteen forged at Endo at some point?  Am I making that up or was there just a change in manufacturing facility that I'm unaware of?

You end up trying these out at the range? Interested to hear your thoughts as I can get a set locally.

So I brought the 7i to the range but then the range balls were so crappy and didn’t have a grass area that I decided to forgive it for that day/range. Going to a range prior to a round Saturday am. Really excited and will report back.

So I finally got a couple hits on the 7i and man it felt good. Hit one slightly high on the face and then flushed the next one. The club feels slightly lighter than my Miura’s but still relatively stout; X100’s in both. My 7i is at 32* loft for the set since I had the majority of the clubs weakened by 1-2* loft to have 4 degree gaps starting at 20. Unfortunately I was resigned to use mats at the range since it was soggy out, so no turf interaction feedback for me just yet.

Wow, great argument. I should just buy chinese knockoffs because they are the same thing as these new blades 🤨

Apparently you have no idea how clubs are made 😆 because that's exactly what happens. Block of metal just goes through different forging dies until it looks like a club. Final grinding/polishing is done by workers. Just go on youtube and search how forged clubs are made, or keep believing that your clubs have magic fairy dust sprinkled on them while they were made.

 

What you said it true, forging process in China is similar to that of Japan.  However, changes between China to Japan, are about, volume, price and forging details.

 

Miura blade forging is darn near perfect, price reflects that.  Last, I knew, they were not done in China.  What makes one blade better than another, materials and forging steps. 

 

All depends on the OEM, club model and demand.  I suspect my Titleist 620 MBs may be forged somewhere other than China, but don't know that for a fact.  Lots of conjecture floating around.

Website says preorders sold out, anyone know if they will be making more? I really really like these lol

If you are happy to order from overseas and take advantage of exchange rate you should try limitlessgolf in Australia. I have no association with them but can highly recommend

My RM Forged Blades arrived last week. They look so good! The minimal graphics and milling on these look absolutely killer to my eyes. Plus, they appear to have just enough offset in the 4-7 irons to look less daunting to hit. Eyeballing it, I would say their offset is similar to MP20 MB. I’m testing shafts to decide what to put in these heads. My hand issues could benefit from SteelFiber 115FC graphite which test great but my love and familiarity with Modus 120 is causing me to be hesitant.
