gocchin Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Great write up and beautiful photos. Can they add weight closer to the top line of the head to raise the CG or would that really hurt the performance of the wedge? Thanks Steve, yes, but then the top line would be thicker. To get the CG up there are some compromises to be made ie the head can't be quite as tear drop as the one I designed as I took away much of the top line to achieve that shape.

gocchin Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 The Toyoshima wedge and Gold's Hand Grind are very close in price. Difference is Toyoshima, while the wedges are top performers, makes all his wedges the same. Every Gold's wedge is unique and grinded for that specific person, choice of finish, choice of engraving, choice of shape, sole, bounce, leading edge, top line, offset.

FrankThong Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Great read! Other than the magic samurai oil, Gold's never up there in my list of consideration of anything. This could well change now. Nice job, T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocchin Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Got the finished wedges in today and they look amazing. Very happy with the way they turned out. As I had mentioned I decided to keep them clean with just the Gold's logo and dots to indicate the lofts. The Soft Black finish turned out better then expected! The shape I think is just perfect and the grind very handsome! These wedges have already been purchased by a lucky member!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmclarenf1 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Japanese wedges usually have high bounce, as Gold's is custom ordered, a lower bounce can be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course you can specify any bounce you want since it is ground from a raw head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I get after the good deal you got from me? :) Btw, have you received it yet? hey tae i meant that as a compliment:) i notice if you snooze on this forum you lose. gotta be lighting fast. i received the head last weak and shafted it. my gosh its super stellar from the bunkers i LOVE IT. from the fairway still getting used to it. it shines especially when you open it up. i hardly use my 59 C grind anymore. if you let this one go, its scary to think you are happier with your current wedge. what is it?

I actually bought one for my brother since I liked it so much. But he wanted my old cleveland a month later since his golf buddies made fun of him for playing no name brand(?). Poor guy.... I asked him twice if he was sure...... I guess some guys who are stuck with usdm only care about titleist, taylormade, and cleveland wedges. :) I will let you know how gf plays.
