The Japanese golf season goes year round pretty much so it's not uncommon to see releases of gear all thoughout the year.

Some items of note, PRGR has already released a revised Tour line by revising the already popular T3 502 Silver and M3 Hit Fairway. They've released a smaller sized 501 Tour driver and M3 Hit Tour Fairway which is also smaller and more shallow faced.

Fourteen Golf is releasing two new irons, the TC-1000 made for athlete/low handicap golfers and the TC-550 for average guys like myself. The 1000 is forged from very soft S20C and emphasizes playbility in a compact head while the 550 is forged from S25C steel and made with forgiveness and higher trajectory.

Tourstage, not to be out done will release an entirely new ViQ line plus a new X-Drive 445cc Black driver, 2008 X-Blade CB and a new X-blade UT. The 445cc driver looks interesting as it has some new features such as an ion plated crown with spiderlike red mesh and a wider heel to toe face. 

Of course we all know that Epon Golf has already released some awesome new irons and a new wedge along with rebranded driver and fairway woods. I've got a set of the newly designed Epon AF-701 being shafted right now with Graphite Design Tour AD AD-65 light weight graphite that I will be reviewing very soon.
