+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 The brand George Spirits is starting to grow on a lot of people. The man behind the brand, George Takei consistently releases cool new designs all year long. They have a beautiful showroom in Beijing a Japan HQ under construction, and the products are sold in high end department stores like Isetan in Tokyo. The product is quality it's obvious from the pictures and especially when in hand. I wanted to share some pictures of his Mono 3D Forged irons which I have been rotating between the ONOFF Forged irons for a little while now. The ONOFF have C-Tapers, the GS 3D's have Recoil 110's stiff. What I like best about the Mono 3D is it's forgiveness, setup, and feel. It's not your average iron, George Takei always has a style about his designs that set it apart from other brands. His use of CNC milling design has just the right amount of bling while remaining tasteful at the same time. For me the feel at impact is similar to the Endo made mizuno JPX Forged iron although the 3D is no where nearly as big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIduffer Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Can appreciate the CNC programming, but the irons don't do it for me. Cavity must be cavernous to have that thick of a logo in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reapl Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 And placing so much mass behind the ball gives a very solid feedback, I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukok Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Its seems very similar to the Yuyuri, concept, intricate milling on a standard design head. The saying style over substance comes to mind. Not for me, but then, I am a bit picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 These irons are bad ass. This and the ONOFF forged are my 2 favorite full sized CB's. ONOFF 13 has C-Tapers installed 3D mono has soft stepped recoil 110S installed. I give the edge to the ONOFF in setup Feel is a tie, both different but still so good confidence at address I go with 3D mono accuracy is a tie distance is a tie too close to call. when you hit the 3D mono on the screws it feels like the ball is really soft and compressed.

stevopagolf Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 The only George Takei I am familiar with is the one that played SULU on Star Trek. These look like Star Trekkian irons are you sure these were designed by the other George Takei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 too close to call. when you hit the 3D mono on the screws it feels like the ball is really soft and compressed. How does it feel off center. Such deep milling has to have more of an impact on feel compared to more traditional CB, or at least I imagine it would...
