Spoon Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 can anybody tell me anything about golds factory wedges the price is high for the stage 5 wedge is it as good as the price suggest thanks well you get what you pay for:) in the case of the stage 5/6 wedges these are entirely made by sasaya-san who is very well known for making one of the finest golf clubs in the world. So if your willing to shell out and wait quite a while then you cant get any better than these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

master Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I play Golds Flat back irons with NS Pro 1150 R flex. Fantastic feel, very accurate & you can play all sorts of shots depending on your ability. Forgiving for a blade iron, mis**ts are tend to be distance loss rather than direction. The iron has copper underlay so it's quite soft & you can feel as if the iron head wraps around the ball when you flush it. I haven't tried the cavity model but I guess it's probably even easier to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Stage 5's are the ultimate pieces of hand made work. Forged in house and totally hand crafted and finished... they are so amazing people buy them even for collection (I know I would!). Here is Sasaya's latest set: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I have the stage 5 wedge. Haven't taken the plastic off the grip yet. Have chipped with it extensively around the house. Butta. It has yet to go outside. I must admit I have it more as a collectors piece than a wedge to use on the golf course. Someday soon I may be able to post a revue from the golf course instead of the carpet. Stage 4 Super soft feel. Nicely balanced. I love the dark finish, no glare. VERY sharp grooves, just destroys a golf ball with a 3/4 to full swing. IMO the wedge is best in the hands of an experienced player. Not meant for the average player. The experienced player will make this wedge sing. Understanding wedge play and how to make the grooves work for your shot is needed. Again, IMO I have a set of the Cavity back irons. Outstanding clubs. They would be in the bag full time if not for the EPONS. They are currently challenging for their place in my #1 bag. I have played about 5 rounds with them and love them more every time I play them. I doubt I will ever Putt with anything but a Golds Putter again. I am nothing but impressed with everything I have seen from the Master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickmrkonja Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 can someone explain why two wedges from golds are a 1000 bucks but a whole set of irons are only 1500 bucks and they are all handmade one at a time thge whole set should be 4000 if my math is right 8 clubs at 500 apiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're playing gold's cb's 3-PW and 2 x Stage 5 Wedges that's 10 clubs for around $2700. 270 is not a lot for the quality you get from Sasaya-san. Also as I mentioned above the Stage 5 wedges are the pinnacle of handmade as everything is done in house including the forgings. The irons are forged elsewhere then brought in to gold's for the grinding and finishing work and detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leekuosing Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Does anyone know if Gold's can refinish their irons and wedges. I mean rechrome irons and reblue wedges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
