gocchin Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 The weather is still great here in Japan.... a warm 20C today. I was happy cause some goodies showed up from Sasaya-san. I asked him to refinish my Stage 5 wedge. He grinded the knicks and scratches as well as flattened the face and re-engraved the score lines (sharp!!). Then refinished in a gun blue and redid the paint fill. Very nice as the previous finish (also gun blue) had worn off and was showing signs of rust (before and after below). Also had Sasaya make me a bag tag... got jealous of idrive's and have seen quite a few people ordering them. My bag tag matches my Gold's hearts proto putter Black, White and Red theme! Sasaya also sent me the new Favorite with G glove (you can see it along with my Gold's Factory Warabe putter cover). Softest glove I have ever felt and does in fact fit like a second skin. The grip/traction is tremendous and I'm curious to see how it will hold up during use/wear and tear. Nice detail and workmanship though of course not made at Gold's Factory unless Sasaya-san has become a master at stitching as well. Always fun to get new stuff so thought I'd share my excitement.

idrive Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I have a stage 5 that has never been outdoors. After seeing the way yours came out I may just take her out for a spin pretty soon. I've been afraid I might ruin it and bought it more as a collectors piece than to game, doesn't look like I need to worry about it as she can be made to look new again. It took me awhile to game the stage 4's. Sure glad I finally did as they are amazing. I've nicknamed them the "Destroyers" as they destroy Golf Balls on any shot but a soft pitch shot. Looks like your bag tag came out perfect. A one of a kind from the Master. How cool is that?? Thanks for sharing T :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2_2 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Hi T, I am glad to see that you make good use of the wedges - and that you can have them refinished as well! I will be interested to hear how the glove holds up as well - do you have any info on what distinguish's the material from the rest of the pack? Cheers Idrive - I have been away for too long - how are the Gold's cavities working for you? I never thought the Epons would leave your bag!

I try to play all my clubs these days or not keep them as I am financially limited after purchasing a house in Japan. (^_^) As for the glove as I mentioned in the other thread that the Gold's glove uses Double AA grade leather usually only reserved for tour pros while most retail gloves are B grade. Double AA is softer and thinner yet more durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
