I'm a lucky enough to have a GS 56* in the bag, initial impressions are very positive. Workmanship and finish is top notch as expected from George. It just screams quality.

After one grass range session I can say the wedge is very compact and has a thin topline, which sets up very nicely. The grooves are very sharp and the feel is very soft. Put those two characteristics together and we are talking super spin here with feel like butter. I was very surprised how good this wedge is as I've gone through some of the top JDM wedges over the last year and I when it comes to the best wedges, they are all very close, spin, feel, versatility. This wedge though has something about it that's just different. Will report back more when I get out to play with it this week.

Chris,

What are you impressions of the irons? Any feedback yet?

Those wedges and the GS-01 look unbelievable. Really looking forward to hearing some impressions you guys may have soon... I hate how when something is limited it makes you consider buying even though you had never intended to... hah (IMG:style_emoticons/TSG_Smileys/atsg_smilie_roll.gif)


gocchin, did you get my EMail reply from last week? :)

Chris or T,

is this pic you have in the pro shop(that is also posted on the george spritis website) labelled incorrectly?

Chris' in hand pics have the GS-01 with the back pocket/cavity(true anser style), while in the pic it shows the GS-01 with no cut out??

this is really confusing me.

You may be correct G and that may be a printing error. Chris can confirm as he has the putters on hand but it sure looks that way from his pics.

And yes they are reversed.... picture has been fixed.

I agree.

I am so happy with my bag.. my back up bag... my back up bag to the back up etc. etc. I hadn't planned on buying any GS products.

The quality is so obvious from the pics it looks like I'll be buying some wedges at least!!!

i love the unique design of the gs1 putter. tempting indeed.

The Putters are by some peoples standards revolutionary. The alignment aid helps you setup your face square to the ball vs the target line. The GS-01 and GS-02 lack the traditional site line yet the 01 has a frame behind the area you hit the ball. We have found no difference in feel with teflon black vs the black star chrome standard retail finish. The feel is very soft at impact with great roll coming off the face. I'm not sure if you guys can see it close up but it does have some very fine milling designs on the face.

The wedges are top notch, very thin top line with a compact presence. I have had these in the bag for 3 rounds, they spin the ball a ton and require the grooves to be dulled a bit or else some may be getting to much zip to the ball. They feel at impact was one of the best tested. These grooves are USGA & R&A approved for play. We are almost sold out of our DG S400 D5 pro configured wedges.

We have been testing the GS product line for a little over a week with some excellent players over at TPC & Bali Hai. To be fair we had them hit a variety of irons for some grueling range sessions and 3 full rounds of golf.

Among the irons tested :

- George Spirits MB
- Miura MB5003
- Epon AF301
- Miura CB247
- TM TP Forged

Our testers currently use JDM gear one player using mostly PRGR & the other Miura Irons.

Of all tested their favorite in feel was the GS MB, both testers adored the very soft impact of the GS Irons and attributed that to the meat on the lower back face. The players noticed the sharp toe and I mentioned this is something pretty unique to most of George Takei's iron designs.

Based on the top line view the Miura MB5003 was their visual top pick with the thinnest top line and most compact head heel to toe. The GS MB does have a thicker top line when compared to a butter knife but I would still consider it a neo blade design made to be more forgiving yet have the soft feel and presence of a top players blade. The heel to toe measurement of the GS MB was very close to the Miura's making it a top compact option on the market. They both felt the GS MB was noticeably softer than the 5003.

The GS brand is very exclusive and expensive making it a choice for few and not many, but it does fill a nice gap here at TSG as our customers require the very best of quality and design from Japan and these fit the bill. If you guys have any specific questions about the product line feel free to let us know.

Is the teflon black matte and the blackstar chrome shiny? Which one is darker?

Thanks,
Droopy

These clubs definitely fill a niche here at TSG.

I do like the look of the sharp toe in the irons. I have much the same look from my TourStage X-blade
