Forum Member Special 489.00 Shipped on the Brassy Head Only

Baldo - Tourist Trophy - Evangelist Japan Products. It's an interesting play on words none of which I think have been used before in golf and on that topic of new and interesting it's been a long time since a dedicated driving wood besides the driver has been released, Introducing the Baldo BRASSY.

Brassy: 1881 Robert Forgan first wrote in The Golfers Handbook The "Brassy Spoon" is a recent invention and bids fair to be a useful one. Being furnished with a "brass-sole" it is stronger than an ordinary spoon, and may, therefore, be employed in a more difficult ground where the Cleek would otherwise be necessary.

It's basically a small beastly driver with a 255cc head volume, square face, 210g head weight, 10g weight in the toe 4g in the heel to promote a fade as Baldo believes the player who would use this may have an inside out swing path.

The Baldo Brassy is made like a driver and priced like one as well, coming in head only retailing for about 550 with a Forged Titanium Cup Face it's designed you to help crush balls down the center with it's face depth that is twice the height of a normal 13.5 spoon.

You can play this at any length they leave it to your preference, I would personally go for a full 45" on this thing or just a hair shorter, good club if you have extra shaft pulls around. While we have not put it through it's paces yet we do hope to soon but based on how it looks, it's materials, and design specs it looks to be a club off the tee that will produce a reliable and steady shot which Baldo says will equal the distance of your current driver.

This looks really interesting. Wondering how my swing would do with such a small driver.

Is this a fairway wood loft or driver loft like 10ish? Why would it be easier to hit than a regular driver?

edit: Is this 13.5* loft like a spoon?

It's only made in 13.5, it's made like a driver not a FW i.e Ti body and Forged Cup Face.

Heavier Head at 210 grams, 44" - 45" is what most play this at.

Designed to have the distance of a driver but without getting you in as much trouble.

Interesting but my trouble has always been my fairway woods (tee up or off the deck) and not so much with my driver. Need to figure this out where this club could fit in. It looks like a driver for a faster ss or stronger players.

Sounds like the SLDR Mini, no? I like Baldo; top-shelf stuff.

The SLDR mini is a 3 wood designed to be good off the tee.

Cool looking club, cool idea. And I thought the t388 was a small head driver... <g>

It is more like the PING rapture.

This looks really cool.

Yes! closer to this. The Ping should be called the brassy actually as it has the weight plate.

One thing though is this thing is literally a mini driver no other brand has a forged cup face in a driving wood.

I want one! May have to try this out.

I have been thinking about this kind of wood, but I would want to hit it from fairway, too. With this length shaft, that seems pretty hard to do.

I sort of don't get the logic of this positioning of the head. I guess the idea is, more loft = straighter. It is meant to replace current driver? Be a second driver? Be used from fairway or not so much? I like the overall idea. I think it's the shaft length that confuses me.

it's designed for off the tee but of course one can hit it from the fairway as some hit drivers from the FW already.

44" in only one inch longer than a 3 wood so no biggie.

This particular club is designed to replace the driver or compliment on tight or windy courses.

If you have a bit swing speed hitting this from the fairway is not a problem. This kind of club is primarily aimed at faster ss players looking for more control and still great distance of the tee. It's probably not suitable for the 90 mph crowd, not if you want to be able to hit it from the fairway anyway. As a strict tee-off club, I guess anybody could use it

Ninety five percentage of recreational golfer cannot hit driver off the deck so basically the question is whether you can hit a 2 wood at 44 to 45" length effectively off the deck. The weight of this brassy or brassie is 210g which is the normal 3 wool weight. The volume is larger probably due to material use. I could see if the player can hit his 3 wood consistently off the tee a long way would find this club helpful. However I am still struggling to see how this driver would help the average golfers off the tee since it is not that short in length but with a smaller head than a 460 driver. Would a mid capper please buy one and do a review on this?

this should be similar in nature except for the length to the Kasco FD and the RC Driving spoon. both had identical lofts to this brassy if I'm not mistaken.

You need not struggle, nearly the same % of golfers don't hit a 3 wood perfect off the deck either.

I don't think this would help the average golfer or the mid capper at all. It's just another cool offering that imo stands out above the rest. Absolutely it's for the better player.

Whatever the case your right that the extra volume allows them to use different materials, Forged Cup Face is bonus! I mean USDM drivers don't offer this due to price so I'm always happy to see it no matter what it's in.

do you recommend a fw or a driver shaft in this one?
