Posted January 13, 201411 yr Sorry Guys I ve been away a bit because of Wedding arrangements. Big day in about one month time... Anyway, I am now subscribing Even Magazine "for stylish Golf Players " (which is highly recommended). Besides all the fashion stuff, they usually have some interesting stuff on Clubs. This month edition they had a few brands which I have never heard of: 1) Emllid Bahama http://www.e-bahama.com/ 2) GP- Platinum http://www.gp-golf.com/ Not very inspired b design, but seems they have been around for a while very curious on how these smaller Brands actually survive in such competitive space. Maybe C or T could add their wisdom t the topic. Cheers M.
January 13, 201411 yr Look like that have their original design and identity, would be interesting to hear about their performance too.
January 14, 201411 yr Both brands are very much boutique brands. We have covered Grand Prix many times at the golf fair... and it is the most bling bling brand in golf. There are pics in our gallery of gold plated and diamond studded irons. Emillid Bahama on the other hand is a brand I have been checking out recently as it is popular with amateurs... we may be carrying it soon.
January 15, 201411 yr I prefer the Emillid. We opened an account so it is officially available now through TSG.
January 15, 201411 yr Let's pass on the GP. Unless I am in the army, I wouldn't like fighter jets all over my club head. Also - a lot of loft strengthening on the irons, even the muscle backs.
January 15, 201411 yr I swapped drivers with Tae in the summer for a week...he sent me his GP Platinum and it was the longest driver I ever hit to only find out it was a non-conforming model. The X1 and X2 are conforming...X3 is not. Felt and sounded great. Darn it.
January 16, 201411 yr Lol I was gonna post here but I guess Rich got here first. Anyway, DO NOT OVERLOOK GP GUYS!!!!!! GP x1 was the longest jdm driver I've ever had. After rich and I found out it was nonconforming, I just could not help trying out x3. And I'm glad I did. X3 is as good as x1. Yes.... it looks ugly but it is longer than my maxima, max soul, t388, trpx, p tune, epon 460, crazy, and j beam 425. Krank driver 6* with 47" shaft is as long but it's not jdm and not as forgiving.

January 16, 201411 yr <p>Now we have some interesting feedback for GP. And since T just opened an account so definitely looking forward to hear more about Emillid, EB01 look interesting in design especially the cavity with look like there's a lid off sometimes p> Edited January 16, 201411 yr by tokidoki1986
January 19, 201411 yr Author Interesting feedback ... still a bit broken from wedding preparations + honeymoon but thinking of some adds to my bag in 2014! Wouldn't mind too much the ugly look, I have something called "Flying Cat" hahahaha ... so you guys can imagine...
