George Spirits golf

[mizguy]

Opinions of these clubs

Topic says it all. I'm just wondering how are they?, comparable to anything else?, and anything else you might add.

AWESOME FEEL FORGED FROM S20C STEEL SO THERE ARE VERY SOFT. GOOD LOOKING ESPECIALLY THE CAVITY BACK IRON. THE SAKURA LIMITED BLADES ARE AMAZING

[skit]

I have a set of the Sakura Edition CB's and wouldn't play any other clubs. Past clubs include...everything!!

[kamtile]

Isnt this the company owned by the scumbag that stole the Gauge name and logo from David Whitlam ?

[paulchung]

I don't know if George stole the "gauge" name but I can tell you this: their driver is freaking awesome... if it wasn't +$1000, I would def. play it. It's a 445cc monster.

I have a client up in the Washington DC area that has a bag full of them. The Sakura irons, 3 and 5 woods, and a couple of the most interesting looking wedges I've ever seen. Like any clubs, getting them set up correctly makes all the difference in the world, but I thought they were extraordinary. Possibly the most solid feelng irons I've ever hit - but the price tag will bring you back to reality. I thought my Miura's were expensive, the George Spirits stuff brought tears to my eyes...little chance of them ever ending up in my bag! If you can afford them, they are a must try.

I have the GS-CB.
The feel is just absolutely superb.
One of the best feeling irons I have played.
Extremely forgiving and still workable.

I think it feels better than my NC1 handmade.
I like the look of the NC1 better tho.

[arcticreaver]

those sakura irons looks freakin' sweet!!!!!

[i] have hit the gs- cb here in Calgary, and it is amazing[/i]. Looks like mizuno copied this head for the MP 58. (not saying they actually copied it but it sure looks similar)

[size=3]There are two sides to every story. Here's what I've piecedtogether across websites a few years ago. The 1st Gauge Design registrationanywhere in the world was by Takei in Gauge Design Japan. It sounds like Takeiand David Whitlam had an agreement that David register and run US along withmanufacturing the putters for Gauge Design Japan as partners. Not so long afterthat Gauge Design Japan had a big issue with the quality of the putters Whitlamwas making with milling marks rusting, aluinsers not fitting flush, headweights off, and production delays. Plus supposedly David wasn't willing to fixor pay for the repairs. Theprompted Gauge Design Japan to start making their own putters.[/size]

[size=3]The bottom line is we will never know the truth, You can believe oneside or the other. Both of them pretty much have the same story for each other.[/size][size=3] [/size]

Just got my set of George Spirits GT Pro Series Irons. In 30 years of playing I have never hit anything close to these stix. They are incredible, soft accurate. Easiest club I have ever hit when working the shot. You put the swing on ot and it performs.

I have played the GS-MB irons for about a year now along with the wedges I purchased from someone at the other site. I have KBS shafts in all of them. I love the set of clubs. Forgiving enough for me and are very soft feeling. They perform great as well, no digging at all. The look and feel are the best. I play the R7 forged before them and had some Scratch demos. It is getting close to time to switch as they are wearing down on me. Love another set if I can find them used as the price is very high. Not a big fan of the offset on the gap and sand wedges but love the 60. I am around a 4 HC and tried many clubs. Any questions just ask.

[yellow_club_fever]

I have played numerous wedges out of japan, (Hakusa, Scratch, Ikasu,) but nothing comes close to the George spirits... I have played two sets of the GS SW wedges feel and spin put the others to shame. Also, they put out a great 3 and 5 wood, really good for hits off centre.

[RJG]

just looked at their site...and holy smoke. $2800 for 8 irons???? i mean they're beautiful blades (the sakuras)...but come on now

So now I am hooked on these, the moon backs look awsome. anybody hit these.

[mizguy]

Na Yeon Choi just won last week with a George Spirits GT-450 driver. One other girl in the final group also had one in the bag.

[liquidswing]

I hit the half moon blades..pure hits did not feel great.. they look incredible.. top notch workmanship,... I'm a scratch player and wanted to love these so bad... but they just didn't feel that solid plus top line is to thick..also maybe it was the Rombax shaft.. pass... The GS CB on the Matrix Ozik Program 95 shaft .. wow! High and deep .. my normal 6 iron is 190 , with that setup my carry averaged 204 and launched like an 8 iron and felt like butter, the only problem for me is that the heads are too big .. I kept feeling like I was going to shovel dirt .. I never hit fat but it just didn't fit my eye.. so I went with Ozik Program 95 SG shafts pearlesent white black n red , red Iomic 2.3 stickys white lettering black end caps and satin ZO blades... about as butter as you can get.. the sound of that blade cutting through the air mixed with the sound of a flush shot.. 6 iron average carry is 200 .. me likey muchness!.. time to get back to the plus 3 days... passed weapons.. Tourstage Z 101 .. two set Miura blades... when I have the rest of the money, Sakura's will be my gamers

[liquidswing]

Also I did not hit the GT mb but did set it down side by side with my ZO's ...perfect! About the same height, a hair longer than the ZO's and almost no offset..and the Sakura CB look completely insane! Huge toss up ... the Sakura blades are a shoe in but if the Sakura CB's have a thin topline it will come down to a test.. the Sakura cb Retails for $3200 plus my Ozik Program shafts n Iomics out the door with tax around $4300 retail .. I won 3 mini tour events for $5,100.. so no real cash out of pocket ... thanks mini tour.. I wouldn't have been able to get them otherwise...broke but happy!

I have seen these heads in person and they look amazing from the address position and they are very soft feeling. As others have said if they weren't so expensive I would get a set. I was impressed by the quality of the heads.

[liquidswing]

In my above post I mentioned that's did a side by side comparison an address with the GT MB and my ZO blade..actually it was the GT pro series .. ZO blades had always fit my eye perfectly until I saw GT pro, I have not hit the GT pro , but did hit the GS cb and they feel just as soft as my ZO's I could only imagine how there blade might feel ..so my question is, being that there all made of S20C is there any significant difference in all of george spirits blades , Sakura, GT pro, MB , does the Sakura and GT pro look similar at address or no ... as of right now I am sold on the GT pro unless the Sakura look and feel better , any information would be great thanks .

I've been looking at the George Spitits wedges, there are a few different models , the one I was interested in is a model that has some what of a raw finish half moon heel design , it has a spin milled face and box grooves , and something kind of interesting in the center of the grooves roughly grooves starting from the bottom 2 through 7 are cut deeper than the rest of the grooves, does anybody have information on these or have any experience with these wedges ...what I'm basically looking for is a wedge with a ton of bite and an extremely soft feel ...I do like the leading edge of the club but am wondering does the half moon heel have an effect on play ...I imagine it would have an effect when opened up ...how does it play from bunker or rough ..thanks for any info
