Any chance we can have a sub forum "JDM" in the proshop.

I think so. Keeps it separate and might stop some of the anti JDM behaviour.

Nestle it in beside the high cappers who give swing advice thread.

Yes it's serious. Have a JDM sub forum in the section where the LH pro shop is.

I don't agree with hutchy's suggestion of usdm/JDM as that's not how we think in Australia. I don't go around saying my clubs are usdm.

Just a suggestion, the clubs are what they are, that was my only point. But yes if thats how the separate markets are perceived here, JDM will be good anywhere.

Isn't Tourspec the JDM nirvana? Just seems to me a bit of a drama with JDM as there is usually little info about the clubs and people who are really into it are a bit hypersensitive.

While I think JDM section is a good idea, at this stage ie three enough JDM gear changing hands at the moment to warrant its own section?

Nearly half of the last 20 for sale threads have been JDM. I didn't check the archived ones though.

If Hutchy keeps going like he is it will be 100%

A JDM section could be the go, Topics and sales. Would free up the rest of the site and have all JDM in one section. Just a thought.

what are you talking about! We are not hypersensitive! Oem clubs are crap. Dont know how anyone can play with them! Everyone should use jdm! :)

I have had JDM everything except shoes at some stage starting with a set of PRGR Data irons nearly 20 yrs ago. No joylights anymore though.

I think all the gear made these days is pretty good. It doesn't matter what club you like, as long as you like them and they work for your game. Each to their own. Might fall off this JDM roundabout one day but it's fun while I'm on it.

I don't see the point. We're not getting complaints from people about the pro shop being clogged with JDM threads to the point where they can't find the affordable clubs. Besides which, I don't see that much difference - they're just for sale threads, the same as any other.

Ok, what a dumb arse I am..,

While I agree that the last 20 post have have been JDM half oh them have been from Hutchy. I don't have an issue with JDM as I just purchased a Syard driver and I will buy more. But I think the one section is fine. Remember a new section won't stop the JDM haters.

From memory, a suggestion of splitting the pro shop into the different types of clubs, such as driver, putter, etc, was rejected by most.

I think a separate JDM sub-forum is a good idea.

Jazz18
24th August 2015, 08:36 AM
Bits original idea was for the pro shop to have a separate JDM section. Are we still saying that or a separate forum section altogether for JDM discussion as well, not just the pro shop?

I say let's start with a proshop section first.

Is the issue more with multiple FS threads from certain members than a JDM issue, as kiwitown may be implying?

Personal views on certain equipment won't necessarily be changed if they're separated from the "main" pro shop area.

But if the view is that people are concerned about seeing 4-5 FS threads each from Hutchy et al. on page 1, then I'd rather us consider consolidating FS threads into one. IMO the majority of people are quite capable of doing this, so I'd say we encourage this as the norm.

Just put JDM at the front of the listing. Not bashing it but my ball striking isn't good enough to tell the difference.

I don't see the point. If a user only uses the "New Posts" tab the the threads would all still come up anyway.

Can you put forum sections on ignore? As in, I don't wan't to see any crap from this particular forum sub-section?

If so, separate them and I'll be all over that!

You can only ignore individual threads as far as I'm aware. That would be an awesome feature though.

Why is there so much anti JDM sentiment? I don't understand it. Or is it just a few people posting a lot of negative comments that makes it seem to be the case?

I think it is has a bit to do with the attitude, or perceived attitude, of certain JDM fan bois.

Personally I struggle with the idea that one piece of metal can be that much better than another.

I think it might be to do with the pompousness, perceived or real, of those proclaiming the wonders of JDM.

For what it is worth I have a set of TourStage v8000 irons I quite like as well as Ping Eye 2+'s that I also like that could not be any further from forged JDM goodness.

Editing because Yoss said the same thing which means I must be right. Yoss is always right isn't he?

This thread isn't about JDM; I'm sure there are plenty of threads for that. It's about whether there should be a separate forum in the Pro Shop to sell JDM gear or not. As it is a thread that the team need to check, it would be appreciated if it stayed on topic.

Will KDM and clubs sold exclusively in other Asian countries be included?

Daves
25th August 2015, 06:15 AM
Personally I reckon segregation will only make the JDM/Anti JDM thing worse and I don't see the point. But in practice, like having a Lefty section, I don't really care. A lot of what is being interpreted as recent Anti JDM, is more about an individual with some history with another member outside this forum.

Does it need a sub forum? No.

Negativity, I think it has to do with the fact that anytime something is posted the lemmings all show up and talk about how great things look, say how they wish they could buy it and say GLWS.

The fact that the majority are mid-high cappers, Coldtopper excluded, yet they profess how soft things feel, how flights can be controlled, etc, is what adds to the Wankerdom, when you know most do not know what they are talking about.

I couldn't agree more, we don't need a separate Sub Forum, they are still golf clubs whether they come from Japan, China, USA or wherever!!

LeftyHoges
25th August 2015, 10:03 AM
We do need a sub-forum IF we have the ability to put said sub-forum on ignore. Otherwise it's kind of pointless. May as well just make a JDM prefix and that way people know what's what.
