Gold's Factory (Secret Wedge)

Wedge Eye Candy!

I wonder if the weight in the sole would affect sand play? or flop shots?

Steam punk wedge! I want to bag one of these even if I don't hit it well.

I have actually used some Steampunk jewelry designs as inspirations before on some putter concepts. But I still don't actually know where the term came from.

I, too, wonder if those weights would affect playability in any way. I would assume they don't. Personally, I think they're a bit busy, not really suited to my taste.

I don't know who the author was that coined "Steampunk", but it seems to have come around more in the past 10-15 years in the sci fi literature. I may be just a touch ignorant though. Maybe it is much older. Topics are victorian, but seemingly all modern interpretations.

 

As long as the weights don't fall off, I like it.

"Steampunk". I had to look that one up. Found a picture of Abe Lincoln with a cannon (?) for an arm. I guess I learned something today.

Yeah these definitely wont fall out this man is a master with metal. Just wish he would get off the Anser kick with the putters.

Now that's an interesting wedge. Doesn't really fit my eye, but I like the adjustable weights.

.....those wedges have a little too much going on for me. I prefer my wedges clean cut with less going on.

[GolfSpy_X 907]

Yeah these are more for looks then anything else. More about how a designer can use creativity to make something unique.

well they are unique....very unique so they accomplished that!

The weights he makes with the multi-material inserts he does some pretty cool stuff with on putters.

[GolfSpy Dave 1,675]

Do you think you would see the weights at address? One of the other threads mentioned how some of the Japanese consumer market is concerned with buying the nicest looking set of clubs as a status symbol. Maybe these meet that market need. They would turn heads in the bag.

I can handle a little more activity on a putter, but wedges being busy is just a little too much for me.

Even though I'm a pretty traditional guy when it comes to putter design, I would like to see something different. It seems like the craftsman here doesn't lack for creativity or talent and I'd love to see what kind of unique designs he could work up.

To each their own. Very gaudy, I would not bag them for free. Very contrived.

These wedges look terrible, and I'm sure they'll be around $1000 each. Gold's factory makes good putters, they should stick to that

In the past I have viewed the Golds offerings and thought - nice looking equipment.

I have to agree with the two posters above me - that is one fugly wedge.

Now while I may not have the prettiest bag, stick wise, style matters and these don't cut the mustard.

If there is a Rock Bottom Golf in Japan then I think that you'll find these in the closeout bin in the near future.

Need to see the face of the wedge and how it looks at address, stop teasing us with these wedge bottom club views!!
