+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Gocchin just posted a pic of the new RF700 Neo Blade from Geotech. It's pretty unreal looking. I like that it has a slight offset and a meaty sole. Thinking about giving these a run, I know it's no where as forgiving as my game needs but I think I can work into them. http://www.golftoimpress.com/geotech-prototype-rf700-forged-review/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleUK Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I almost got these last month, but was unsure on the Feel( think made in China put me off)! Let me know how these go, I fact I'm over in your Town in September ... Might pop in and try them ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigo88 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 45* PW?....oh boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 oh wow! if you did not show the first pic i wouldnt have thought it was that meaty. it looks unreal indeed. looks like its pretty easy to hit. for a blade that is. who are designing these for Geotech? do they have their own R&D team?

gocchin Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Geotech does have their own R&D team, which is what makes them special for such a tiny company. They have averall been manufacturing irons and metal woods for 20 years. The irons are much more forgiving than expected as I noted in the review. Geotech says the target range is 0-25 handi and I can see why because the iron provides a bit of everything. Its not tiny but has a thin sole and topline and only a small amount of offset. It's really the muscle/cavity that is meaty but that brings CG down and outwards for more forgiveness and an easy launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogeye Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Interesting concept. I agree with Chris, I kind like it, perhaps worth experimenting. I must admit it is growing on me . Anyone has experience with geotech irons how do they feel let's say my bench miura and kyoei blades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaman Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 impressive. how are they able to keep costs relatively low compared to other brands? Just guessing, but they are not exactly wasting money on a huge amount of marketing. Maybe they do heads for other companies too? These are china made but still looks great, the N17 is Japan forged though and costs almost the same. I guess it's the intricate work on the back of the RF700 thats makes them cost what they do, even though they are made in china. But still, excellent value for sure. I've never hit geotech stuff but I have seen them and held the clubs and the finish looks to be really first class. s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisstrader Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Looks interesting, but "0-25 handicap"?? Why don't they just say that anyone who plays golf could game these;) Edited April 20, 2012 by swisstrader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landshark Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 would like to see a review on these as far as the feel of these are. design-wise i would guess they are on a similar thought as the new romaro ray H------half blade/cavity. looks good for sure.

Why don't they just say that anyone who plays golf could game these;) I mentioned this a month or 2, if you check there web site most of the irons say the same! Kinda puzzled me?

xerobound Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 These irons may be the start to many average golfers playing a more compact and tour model looking head. The rf700 looks just like a blade at address but plays very forgiving. May be a new " hybrid" iron. The most amazing part is that the longer irons look like blades but gets up very easily.

chiromikey Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 45* PW?....oh boy. ...and the geotec re12's pw is 43*! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I guess for blades those are strong... the egg forged cavity back PW is 40*!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 yeah, i've seen those kind of lofts in gi stuff but never blades. it would be kinda funny to see the look on my playing partner's faces to be hitting pw while they're grabbing their 8 or 9 irons.

frogeye Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Chris, Did you finally make the jump and tried these irons in the end? Or anybody else? The neo blade concept is growing on me. Geotech RF700 and the Romaro Ray H have got my attention thus far. Thanks, F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
