gocchin Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 We at TSG work hard to bring enthusiasts worldwide not only the biggest and most popular Japanese brands but also smaller up and coming brands that most people have never heard of. If it is available in Japan, TSG can or will eventually be able to get it (so don't hesitate to ask us if you don't see something in our shop). We introduced Modart and it's founder, tour grinder Mitsuru Suda (pictured above) back in February at the Japan Golf Fair. It has taken some time to iron out the details of our partnership (people always expect products to appear instantly at TSG but we make sure things are done right) and Modart clubs are finally available at TSG! I was actually in Tochigi last week at Modart headquarters ironing out the final details and got the chance to look over Modart's beautiful products again and snap some photos of the clubs and Suda-san grinding and posing to help promote the brand. Besides having Suda-san's wondeful custom grind wedges now available to all TSG followers, Modart's entire lineup can be had through TSG with an custom shafts and custom made to specs. Just to recap what I had posted before, Modart launched last year but is really just picking up steam this year especially after their first appearance at the show in February. The key things that appeal about Modart which again stands for Modern + Art are that all clubs are made in Japan and a few of the iron and wedge models are completely CNC Machined from the block!! Suda-san explained that this creates the most pure iron when it comes to materials. The pressure and heat from a forging press can create inconsistancies in the steel including cracking and weakening of the material ultimately degrading he feel. With each Modart iron and wedge being milled straight from the block, there is no contamination of the steel and you get S25C in its original and purest form. The mix of satin and chrome mirror plating really enhances the machine marks on the irons which make them stand out like no other brands irons. It's not possible to have grinding inconsistencies or unbalanced shapes as every head is machined to perfection. Every curve, every line. Not to forget those who also want a human touch, Suda-san will grind his custom wedges for any TSG order to whatever shape and offset and spec the customer wants. While the CNC machined irons are works of masterful technology and machinery, the Suda grind wedges are works of masterful hand art and his experience from grinding on both the PGA and Japanese tours. One of the great things about the new Modart drivers is that unlike many Japanese drivers that are made to counter slicers, the Modart drivers are fade biases for those who fear the hook. The black IP finishes of all the woods look amazing and the key strengths are feel and performance. The new Modart putters are also CNC Machined and look fantastic. So be sure to check out the new clubs here in the pro shop. And as always if you need help choosing the right models or understanding options, just give us a shout!

Shankopotamus Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) REALLY like the boxier newport-esque putter. Reminds me of my beloved BB0. I'm digging the milling on the sole too. Anyone know the toe hang on that piece? Also, when will the pro shop stock the irons and wedges?

potuna Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Modart D is awesome, so good looking I didn't want to hit it. When I did loved the results, mid baby draw. Exactly what I like to see and sound/feel is muted/soft. I still have to get it on the course but very promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpbachman Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Those CNC A55G wedges are awesome looking. Offered in the shop sometime in the future as well? Are the corresponding T55 wedges machined as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFL07670 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ditto, would love to see those wedges in the shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the corresponding T55 wedges machined as well? Having seen these in person they are more GI with offset and rounder shapes. The custom hand grind Modarts are the way to go. Yes A55G & T55 are machined wedges but again not exactly our style. They may look cool from the angles of the photo's but put one down and they are indeed very Japanese in shape.

mpbachman Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Chris, any chance to get address photos of those machined wedges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Chris, how would you compare the spin and profile of the custom wedges to say the Crazy Toyoshima's? More bite from the Modart grooves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
