Masayuki Sasaya is known to produce some of the best putters in the world. With the launch of Gold’s Factory USA in America in the early part of 2009 he has expanded awareness of his brand to an international scale. All 2009 series GF USA putters have sold out as we eagerly await a peak at whats to come in 2010.
We are excited to announce that we have found out from TSG sources that Master Sasaya plans to produce a total line up of products including:
J.I.S Forged ( anser putter )
J.I.S SUS303 ( anser putter same material as Cameron’s GSS )
J.I.S Squared ( center shaft similar to Cameron’s Square Back )
(Prototype) Muscle Back
(Prototype) Cavity Back
(Prototype) Half Muscle
J.I.S Wedge
Elite Level Wedge
While we do not have images of all the new products we do however have the very first 2 putter models photographed in the wild minus all the crazy modifications and personal flare GF customers select on top of the base design. We believe the thought process is to offer an affordable 100% Japan made product that gives the customer the ability to customize to their own desires at the time of purchase or in the future.

The starting price of the previous models were pretty high at 1250.00 + but those came with all the bells and whistles, this time Sasaya San is offering base models that have a standard head weight of 350 grams and lots of blank space to add customizations. We are hearing that the base models will run below 700 USD before options and enhancements are selected.
Can’t wait to see all the new offerings. The Gold’s Factory Putters are so amazing. The quality is on another level and is really hard for most folks to get the difference it makes.
There is a difference.
A bit out of my league price-wise, but damn if they aren’t works of art!
that said, when will you have information/pictures of the wedges?
Looks like will be great at a lower price point. Wish there is somehow to try before dropping the money. I think I might like the full PZ milling more. Consistent look across the face
I agree with idrive, golfers are deleriously happy to shell out a grand on a driver but do not seem to do so as readily on the putter, which is the most used ‘club’ in the bag. I’m currently playing the Epon i33 and love it, Japanese forged putters, milled to precise specifications are in a league of their own. IMO paying $500 for a retail cameron is a waste of money but paying double or there abouts for a quality Japanese putter is far better value. I will be ordering a GF through TSG next year…………never hurts to have a couple to rotate when one misbehaves
Much better price point. Maybe this will pull others into trying the Golf products.
The driver bit hit close to home as I just spent ~1000 getting fit with a driver :$
On the other hand I am pretty happy with the putter I currently have so that will be the last to be replaced when I build my new bag next season.
The problem I have with putting this much cash into a putter is that I have no chance to hit it before hand to see if like it. Now, I am 100% sure that the feel of the putter will be awesome, but putters are, for me at least, so much about what feels right for me that I am a bit hesitant about purchasing one without first trying it. I’m sure once I get more familiar with my game and what I like, I will be in the market for a Gold’s as they are truly works of art.
