George Spirits becomes REONESS
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
GT is not a good business man, likely consult brands into the ground. His designs well I will leave you guys to judge I haven't seen much good since the GDJ/G-Field days. This is about H.W Kan & the TourStage guys. 811 Ti + SAT2041 face and that each loft is very different. ( as blog mentions ) that makes this better than most on paper at least. -
Where to start with this one... My friend Kan who I've known over 15 years was the former crafter at Gauge Japan. He with the help of former TourStage designers have taken over George Spirits and re-established the brand as REONESS. George Takei is out and has nothing to do with it. They still have some George Spirits branding but it's going to be phased out in the future. It's kinda fun looking at what the old GDJ staff has gone on to do: 1. Gauge Design USA (D.Whitlam) 2. Gold's Factory (M.Sasaya & Shindo) 3. REONESS (H.W Kan) 4. RomaRo ( Aono - no longer there ) I'm proud to have been around back then and know these guys. full post in blog - http://www.tourspecgolf.com/blog/29596-2/ pics right here:

While I haven't had much time to talk about this one or even hit it we have a handful of customers who are Baldo die hards and often pick up every one of their new releases. I've been sitting on these pics a while, just about every customer who has purchased one of these loves the feel and performance. It's the better players easy club. pics...

Bettinardi Maru 23 w/copper insert - value?
TourSpecGolfer replied to myndcraft's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Its in great condition for being so old. Good and bad news. The good is that it's quality and rare, I think it should be worth good coin. Bad is that Bettinardi in Japan has never held it's value well. These have been on auction sites and used Japanese golf shops for about 200 although I can't vouch for the condition. Hope that helps and good luck selling this beauty. -
I received all the new RS clubs last week but I'm out of country so no chance to hit or test!

The CB358 us still a touch thick but yes they have less offset. They are shorter heel to toe, they are not as long or forgiving or soft. ONOFF Kuro Forged will be replaced in 2016/2017 so keep that in mind. Right now in this segment my top suggestion would be Titleist VG3 Forged, such an outstanding iron.

There is a global model and japan model with the difference in finish and style of engraving on the sole. retail is 950 head only. of course forum members get the hook up when they email me. release date is august. TSG will have both global and japan only models. Yes Itobori grinding on the head is for looks only. There is no custom options, these are not handmade like irons are.

New TRPX Prototype Driver Spotted
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
It's Insane to me why Jbeam would do this for another co. It's Insane to me why TRPX would let another co register it's gear with the R&A. The loser in all this is TRPX they lose a killer driver supplier and their pro must have been pissed! Moving on I don't know who makes this new club, it does not look Kamui Pro at all. -
New TRPX Prototype Driver Spotted
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
If I ask Jbeam to produce a driver for me there is no way I would expect them to register it with the R&A.. Its industry standard for any brand to take care of this themselves. if TRPX asked JBeam to do this its idiotic as its super easy to do. Pay fee and send sample. JBeam has a CT machine, TRPX does not. JBeam always checks CT #s of clubs it hands to a pro. Yes very small co. TRPX is actually bigger. -
New TRPX Prototype Driver Spotted
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
We know both brands very well. TRPX blames Jbeam for the situation.. JBeam thinks they should check their own drivers.. If this was just about registering with the R&A TRPX would take responsibility for it. -
New Grandista LS-001 Coming End of July
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
A bit more info on this one. It has a total of 9 weights on the head of all various materials, the usual suspects of Tungsten 3.8gm Stainless 2g and Titanium 0.9g. All weights are adjustable so knock yourselves out changing them. This head is 450cc's Available lofts are from 9.5* o 11.5* Head weights are from 192g to 210g. Face angles are from 0* to –1.3*. The centroid CG distance is 43mm. The centroid CG height is 29.5mm. The centroid CG depth is 38mm. DAT55 + Carbon Crown + 6-4Ti Body The head is 5mm more shallow than the RS-001 so it actually looks a touch larger and seem to be the easier driver of the two. -
If you have the money to go 7D go 7D. Both shafts are awesome! can't go wrong either way.

Gold's Factory doesn't make putters. Also some of the brands above don't actually make their own putters. Does that matter to you? What is the purpose of this list?
