New Sonartec GS tour proto fw Pics!

[easyyy]

First seen...

Had a great time this week at the PGA with Bob Gotfredson (VP Sales & Marketing for Sonartec). Great guy who made me feel welcome. We had a fun time getting to know each other. Aside from that we are proud to show all of our members a special piece.

Having this GS in my hands I was ready to make a break for it. Truely simple and classic head shape. No fancy graphics just pure. I will let the Sonartec guys give us more info.

Thanks again Bob for your time and your company.

[InTheHole!]

Nice and clean lines - the lack of graphics is somewhat appealing. Thanks for the scoop.

I love the simple classic look sonartecs have created for themselves

[Sakman]

Very clean looking indeed. Curious how it compared to their current FW metals...

[ithawk]

Classic I really like the look.

[DemolitionMan]

Sonartec may be the only OEM that can claim they have never made a clunker FW. Titleist, Cleveland, Nike, TaylorMade, Ping...all of these guys have something in the closet that belongs there. But not Sonartec. Every FW over the years has been solid.

[br61]

Very nice and glad to see Sonartec come up with something new that I probably will try out at a later date. I've played with almost every different kind of Sonartec fairway woods and all of them has been solid along with their irons that I'm currently playing with.

I like the clean look of this FW. What are the specs on the wood? Features compared to other Sonartec models??

[Tim Delgado]

I love my 3.5s. Clean looking, easy to hit and the 13* is very long off the tee.

I gave up my NP-99 because I couldn't hit it off the fairway, but it wasn't because of its looks. This looks even nicer.

[budathephat]

NICE!!!!! :wave: :) :help: Need more!!!!!

[3puttbert]

Sonartec looks to have another appealing FW. I just hope some bigger compnay doesn't gobble them up and mess with their designs, strategy, etc..,

[leftymatt]

i like the look of the face

 

hopefully i'll get to hit this one in the near future?

[Asleep]

Another scoop for Scoop!

[gticlay]

The face looks like a 1.5 or 2.0 height. Is it just me or is it a more shallow face?

[PVarjak]

Someone's been selling a few of the Royal Collection versions of these on eBay.

 

By the way, I'm curious as to why they didn't put the bendable hosel on it that was on the SS-07.

I would say it is medium. It isnt deep- Nike t-60 or cleveland launcher but it doesnt seem extreme shallow either. I would say 200 steel from TM would be close but the overall shape is VERY different. This GS was a cross betwwen a TItleist pear shape and a callaway steelhead with a hozel. If that makes any sense. Looked Awesome. As I said before the head gave the feeling of confidence. Just like the MD does for me.

Hello Golfwrx's

 

The GS tour is the perfect size when talking face height and apperance!! I have hit ever Sonartec head prototype and production and the GS Tour :) is simple the best faiway wood Sonartec golf has ever made!!

 

From the the tee box it might be as long as a driver and from the deck as easy to get up as a 6 iron or old SS-01.

 

I wish I could get into the stock shaft we will be using. :) But we are currently filing trademarks and patents. :wave: It is going to really make people look twice!!

 

Sincerely,

Erik :help:

Any chance that Sonartec will release a Driver or Irons in the states?

[ZBigStick]

Looks fantastic!

 

So what is the stock shaft? This club looks to be shafted with a VS Proto.

[PVarjak]

Sounds fantastic. I might be willing to give up my TRC's for these.

[bleuachdu]

I must say, I'm tremendously impressed with my SS3.5. It is a fantastic club. I hadn't heard much about sonartec until I started posting on this site, and thanks to the members here, my search for a deep faced (deep period) FW ended. Can't wait to see the GS models in stores.

[PCGS / Graphite Design]

Nope......

This club looks gorgeous, it is so simple and clean. About 10 days ago I brought out my NP-99 for the first time in ages and the performance was wonderful! I had forgotten what a great club that is. Sonartec makes such a great product and if Taylormadefan does not stop harping on me I might have to give the wedges a try too.

Lest you forget about the SS-07 that's firmly entrenched in my bag. I was a little upset that Sonartec quit on that model, but if this club performs as good as it looks, I think I've found my next fairway wood. Is the hosel on the GS bendable as well?

 

If not that might be a good thing to add to the retail models from a consumer perspective . . . :wave:

 

All this shaft talk has my head spinning . . . :help:

You might have that 5 wood you have been looking for!

[bleuachdu]

Nope......

 

Was that a response to my post? Does that mean these won't be offered at retail?!

 

:help:

[swing981]

His response was to them offering irons or a driver. Ive heard thru a tour source that they are coming out with a new version of there MD, can erik/sonartec fill us in on the details along of when we will see this fairway wood.

[PVarjak]

As JHilq posted (and I mentioned above, although I didn't mention Royal Collection), these have been floating around for awhile in Japanese domestic market form. I should also have mentioned that the versions I've seen for sale all have an Accra/Mamiya shaft, so maybe that's the stock shaft. Does Mamiya own Accra? I know they are a big Japanese conglomerate (my father has some Mamiya cameras).

 

TaylorMadeFan, as far as I can tell from the pictures here and elsewhere, it does NOT have the bendable hosel, which I also thought was a good thing. Perhaps it deforms too easily in regular play?

[PVarjak]

I don't know if they are exactly the same, but pretty close. I'm glad the shaft info looks good.
