chiromikey Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yeah, makes sense. But The standard talk about rusty wedges is The extra spin they generate when they rust isn't it? So why have a rusty wedge then, if not for the extra spin? you're right, that is what they say...i just don't think it makes more than a mental difference for the average golfer.

Duffer19 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yup yours is MCI 80 R. Any up charge for graphite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerobound Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Is it the high CG that's exciting folks? The higher CG is exciting, but alot more to this! I love how precise and detailed each part of this wedge is. The overall appearance is beautiful and the calculations behind creating this was the most exciting part. Mr. Kobayashi has said this is his one of his best work yet! It is made to keep its true loft at impact, making it the most consistent wedge yet. Most wedges actually tend to increase in loft a bit at impact. This makes the ball lose some friction which decreases spin and the fact that it opens a bit gives it some inconsistencies. This wedge is said to prevent those things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think this is the first wedge I'm going to carefully let rust after it's cleaned up from soaking in paint remover. Not sure why but wasn't all that excited over this wedge when first posted but for some reason I can't wait to get it now. Maybe it was the 30 mph winds I played in today that blew the high wedge shots into the next county..... would really like to see a 46 or 48*.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 These will start shipping soon. If you reserved yours with Tario expect to get an invoice soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 makes sense to me Do we have a ship date yet?? No ship date yet, this wedge is in massive demand. No country will get their fill in the first batch. We are hoping the first orders to go out this week. Key word is hoping! Will post an update very shortly here.

idrive Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hope they hurry, the cement is drying quickly on the Miura wedges in the bag. going to be very hard to get out. If the Bold's do it they will be deserving of some serious praise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it, we've sold quite a few without being able to hit it enough ourselves, There is a big SYD hype train steaming on right now. On paper and aesthetically it should reign king but what I don't want it to be is like the older HG wedge K.K did for Epon that actually had a fairly similar design but perform as well as hoped.

Yes, and we all know who the fat controller is. Any chance of an update as, I suspect all early orders have now been paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 To update everyone, when we first learned about the Bold wedge the first shipment allocated for JAPAN ONLY at launch was practically sold out. We got in right at the end of that batch and will be the last to be filled. The wedge has slowly begun trickling on the market here in Japan but with TSG orders being at the end of the line, they most likely will not start shipping till some time in April for us, especially with many of them being custom orders.

RIduffer Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Pretty sure I know the answer, but is it possible to find out if I am an April kinda guy or a June one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might actually be one of the first ones since they already have your shafts sitting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
