karjar Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 This question probably is for Chris. I am wondering if you can tell us more about this G-Field movement. I understand this will be there foray into the North American Market. Wondering, given other posts about the price/quality vs price/marketing/american price point etc, will these clubs be of the same quality as the Gauge Design are today in Japan, and if so, how will they fit in price point wise. Maybe you are not privy to all that information, but what ever you shed on the subject would be great. Like when they are hoping to hit North America (Canada?) Curiosity may have kiiled the cat, but at least he went smiling :tsg_smiley_yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most inexpensive putters will retail for only $150.00 USD those of course would be made in China and similar to the odyssey line IMO. There is also athlete, Neo and pro models. The pro models will be made in japan of SS303 with the crazy tungsten and SS303 inserts not to mention some new aluinser designs that will blow your mind. Overall they have a huge line up coming to the states. The quality will be top notch for the more expensive or limited models, for the lower end products it will be on par with the white hots, never compromise and Yes putters. I like this idea, it allows people more options and the ability to select something based on their price range and preferences. Pro models will run 500.00, limited G-Field Tour models could go up past a thousand. They will be using manufacturers from both China and Japan.

I agree, that is a good strategy, makes the product available to more and gets there name out there, then those die hards can step up to the better models. Will Wedges and Irons be coming as well, or just their putter line up? That is to say, what are the chances an NC-1 type iron hits the NA market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is to say, what are the chances an NC-1 type iron hits the NA market There are 2 Drivers, Fairway woods, 3 sets of Irons, 2 types of wedges and a utility wood in the G-Field Line up. In fact I have got my hands on a couple proto sets of the G-Field NC-1s made of a softer forged steel with better milling marks. I also have several GFT Fairway woods with Graphite Design M75 shafts as well I may be willing to let go for the right price. No where else can these be found.

Seen the pics you had of the Fairway woods. Very nice. You could always pm me a price. But, I would really like to see pics of the NC-1s and what they are going to sell for. I am sure I would never see these in retail stores in central Canada until 2007. things are so slow getting into our small market, damn near obslolete by the time they arrive. The cast irons sure look nice....but I already have callaway Fusions :tsg_smiley_no: Want to see the forged :tsg_smilie_wah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruinduke Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Chris, do you know how G-Field plans to market and distribute their product in the States? Will these be available at large golf chains or through email order only? Do they plan an active advertisement campaign in the print, tv, or electronic media?
