Goshinboku

Shingo, has long played the bassara,this is one in particular is definately a proto, i will get the exact numer proto from one of my golf magazines...

i think the fw's are actually due in october. driver i dont know.

i think the screws are actually serving a purpose, they are not jus cosmetic. as this is a 2 piece putter construction.

how long before the GS-FW's are available? i am dying for a new 3-wood, a nice 14* GS-FW would be lovely!

Chris or T, is this pic you have in the pro shop(that is also posted on the george spritis website) labelled incorrectly? Chris' in hand pics have the GS-01 with the back pocket/cavity(true anser style), while in the pic it shows the GS-01 with no cut out?? this is really confusing me.

T, if you havent asked him already regarding the GF01A, when you do bring up the subject can you see if he has anymore SUS303 No.2 (I know the lefty is still on the site) but I would need a right handed one.

Chris, i see the GS series is made in Japan, while the GT series is made in taiwan?? any reason for this...

just curious as to anyone who picked up a putter what their thoughts are? it is taking all my energy not to grab a GS-02 in black night... so any mini reviews out there?

xxio, golf style has always been my favorite of the japanese golf magazines(i own all 38 issues plus the special scotty cameron world edition), i know golf gear had a lot more new club tests and what not. and i do pick up the july issues of golf classic(their masters edition). but i love all the bag checks golf style does as well as all the tour only pics both pga and jpga.

R and T, you guys care to elaborate abit on load numbers, I have always seen them listed but never really paid attention.

Mach Line Premium F67/F58 black is the new colour; orange is the original colour and both are same specs just which colour you prefer; here are some numbers; F58-R 58.0g 3.5tq F58-SR 59.0g 3.4tq F67-SR 66.0g 3.3tq F67-S 67.0g 3.3tq

looks like we can add Srixon to the list as well, the latest issue of Golf Style (japan) magazine vol 39; july issue has a sweet pic of a new Srixon driver being tested out on the JPGA, I will hopefully get some pics up tonight...

T...that is right, now I remember the original black proto's that TSG posted a couple years ago now I guess? these are exactly what these look like in terms of cosmetics.

Tourstage Japan via prosupportcar tech van is releasing all black drivers with fairly high end custom shafts(ali'islei, gd proto's, rombax, etc.) they are calling them P39-8; they are all black GR's from what I can tell. here are some actual in hand pics:

why would there be vokey branded irons? are there scotty cameron wedges...no. these guys stick to what they do best, wedges and putters. i dont see why titleist would put there name on an iron set? it makes absolutely no sense. sorry to come off rude or harsh, i just dont understand the logic behind something like that?

that is what vokey.com is all about, its very similar to the cameron custom shop; the main difference right now is you buy the one per month limited wedge and have the option of shaft(s), grips(3 different choice) as well as lie adjustment, and stamping(straight or dancing) and paintfill. unlike the cameron custom shop, you can not send in your vokey's for custom work(yet dont know if this will be an option in the future) as for irons? who is gonna do this, you can order custom from the titleist rep in your area, shaft, grip, loft, lie etc. what else do you want?

that is actually the 2nd release, one was already released the week of may 19th. its similar to what scottycameron.com is; vokey.com will be releasing one wedge per month, limited to 600 pieces. various lofts/grinds, etc. these will NOT be retail, as per the japanese release like the original poster was inquiring about

Chris, what is the time frame on these release wise? I am in itching for a new putter; I was going to get a 303 Soft Stainless N0.2 from Gold's but I see that particular model is no longer offered, and I dont like the cavity on the GF101A he replaced it with at all :(

just looking to move these right away send offers! cash only though, no trades!

Maruyama himself is only playing one of his wedges anymore; its an '04 version; I cant remember if its a 53 or 59; the other wedge he has in his back was the '07 x-wedge in raw with a very nice grind on it.

Have (2) Brand new Chikara prototype wedges that I would like to sell as a pair; no trades. 52* bent to 53* 60* bent to 59* *I did this to replicate the maru wedges from bridgestone that I became so accustomed to over the years. both have the dg-s400 smoke tint shaft and the black/white nowon no1 grip size 48 and no paintfill they are brand new and have not touched a ball and still have the platic bags around the heads. $950 shipped for the pair OBO

i wonder if this service is done through g-one themselves or is actually bridgestone? it appears to be only a 2100yen option so about $20 or so? that doesnt sound right...

GO LOW; 2 irons were not made; the only 2 iron available would be a MR-23 US Spec (the cb); of which I do have a couple brand new ones if they interested you. Tour issue no; but limited to 1500 sets and ENDO forged you cant go wrong! as for the std specs check your pm.

price drop to $1200. impossible to find brand new anymore!

Have a brand new set of Bridgestone Tourstage MR-23 US Blade 3-PW with the stock DG-S200 shafts and the "tourstage" logo'd tour velvet grip. The shrink wrap has been removed from heads and grips, but these have never touched a ball. doubt you will find anymore new sets left. forged by ENDO and limited to 1500 sets $1400 OBO
