Posted April 8, 20159 yr Have not confirmed this, but based on what I have read up, I suspect these putters are from the era when Sasaya-san worked at Gauge. Both JIS 303 stainless steel , head weight probably on the lighter side from today's standards. ( 330 to 340 maybe.... ) They would both make a great base for Gold's Factory modifications. Selling them for cheap! - Gauge Design GA00H Star INF 34" $SOLD net shipped within CONUS NO headcover many small dings all over but nothing major. - Gauge Design Tour ( Tungsten weight in the face like Gold's ) $SOLD net shipped within CONUS Will include Gold's Factory kimono head cover Couple of small dings but overall pretty clean. Thanks!! Edited April 9, 20159 yr by nobmontana
April 8, 20159 yr These hold a special place in my heart as both are when I used to live in Japan and both of these I travelled 45 min by train each way picked them up in person and took them home to sell. I was maybe 23-24 at the time. GA001H is the retail version of the Hoshino-pro putter shape, the Tour used to cost 1000 bucks, in fact both these used to be 1k. Back story on the 88 in the cavity is that it originally was two H H's but Hoshino's agent came in and bitched about it and wanted money for using his initials so G.T added extra dots. Sasaya-san left Gauge 2 years prior to this.
