November 28, 201212 yr Author 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.
November 28, 201212 yr Author 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.
November 28, 201212 yr Author You also asked what camera I used so snapped a shot of the camera... Fujifilm X-Pro1:
November 28, 201212 yr Damn T, even your back up camera takes better pictures than my first string camera....
November 28, 201212 yr 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.
November 28, 201212 yr Author Damn T, even your back up camera takes better pictures than my first string camera.... My backup camera also took these.... its a very capable camera. (^_^)
November 28, 201212 yr You also asked what camera I used so snapped a shot of the camera... Fujifilm X-Pro1: I even like the artisan and artist strap
November 28, 201212 yr Can only imagine walking in and having the Master grind a wedge for you. Just amazing and on my to do list next time.....
November 28, 201212 yr Author Let's do it Jeff, the next time you come. The master will be glad to meet one of his most loyal customers.
November 29, 201212 yr My backup camera also took these.... its a very capable camera. (^_^) Poseable Sailor Moon doll, huh…. Just to add more insult to injury any picture examples from the fourth string camera?
December 15, 201212 yr Author 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!!
December 15, 201212 yr Author You can check the first post of this topic as well... I added the finished wedges there too!
December 15, 201212 yr Japanese wedges usually have high bounce, as Gold's is custom ordered, a lower bounce can be done?
December 15, 201212 yr And I can't wait to try s yard T 388... I hope it is just like technity or even better.....
December 15, 201212 yr Author Japanese wedges usually have high bounce, as Gold's is custom ordered, a lower bounce can be done? Yes of course you can specify any bounce you want since it is ground from a raw head.
December 16, 201212 yr Those look fantastic My day will come...... im surprised they are not headed to nevada. i really thought these were yours. Tae is sneaky!
December 16, 201212 yr im surprised they are not headed to nevada. i really thought these were yours. Tae is sneaky! Come on C..... This is what I get after the good deal you got from me? :) Btw, have you received it yet?
December 17, 201212 yr Come on C..... 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?

December 17, 201212 yr you have a backup for a backup. sounds like many of us! it excells indeed, i dont need a lob anymore. you know they make a custom 51* K and a 60k as well? wow! enjoy your wedges. love to see how the crazy compares to the GF it wasn't a back up of a back up. 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.
