My perception is that those sold only in Japan are mostly meant for higher handicappers and slow swingers. They are pretty expensive too.

 

rescue looks "playa"? forged irons? looks very similar to what we've had at times... more offered here...

 

All the XRs are meant for high handicappers. Whenever you see some Japan clubs painted with gold and silver expect to see old Asian rich guys holding them. Forged irons are for better players alright.

You do realise whether an iron is for a better player depends on the design of the iron rather than how it's made.

 

Ping S57 is cast and Mizuno MX-950 is forged, which one is for the better player?

I found info on the XR ball

 

http://www.tourspecgolf.com/proshop/p1476/...oduct_info.html

 

Edit: I ordered some Japan issue stuff from an eBay store and asked about the XR-Ball. I was told that it's one of the most popular balls played in Japan and the cost is about $63 USD. He then added that the most premium ball over there is a Dunlop that goes for $120 per dozen!

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I don't plan on spending $250 for a set of clubs for a 4-year old. :)

 

BTW, I got more info on the $63 a dozen XR ball

 

The new XR is more of a distance ball, softer feel, lower spin of the tee with max distance and still good touch and feel and spin around the greens.

 

It is also a 3 piece ball featuring LDP low drag performance. It also has a newly developed Jumbo Speed Core which has great rebound and compression characteristics which contribute to its super carry.

 

The TP Black is a firmer ball with a slightly smaller core.
