sonartec woods - anyone know of em?

[golfstick]

My mate showed me his this morning and raved about it. I just thought he was being stupid so I had a go of it and its one of the best 3 wood clubs ive hit. Unbelievably penetrating straight flight and the contact felt really solid. I havnt herd much of them, are they a down market club like donnnays etc?

plus the clubhead sits soo nice and square not like most of these woods that are toed in

One of, if not the best good players woods and hybrids makes available. A lot of Tour players use them.

really!? he said one of our local pros has them in his bag but i didnt know if i believed him haha.

Only got gud vibes on them, even spurred me to look into getting one on ebay. What makes them so gud that the pros want them cos i dnt see much publicity for them?

I think you missed the bit off the end Charles.......for poking the fire.



Personally I wouldn't even use them for that.

They suit good players

Square to open at address
higher centre of gravity to get a more penetrating flight
good shafts


I hear that Todd Hamilton used a Sonartec Hybrid when he won The Open at Troon, but a lot of people thought it was a TM one because he had a TM h/c on it.

I did say they were used by good players......

 

[Dodger]

That good they went tits up....as I said not even good for poking the fire.

And who told you about them then?

 

[freddielong]

I think its only the Usa arm that went bust the they still trade in Japan under Royal collection have a look on made in japan golf or tour spec golf

I have hit a few of the very nice clubs, dont listen to Dodger his start position is negative and works backward from there

Quality of management and quality of product can be independent of each other. Still a lot of Tour and top amateur players using them, even after about 3 years of not being in business. And i have noticed that the second hand prices are still strong......

i have noticed that they arnt exacltly giving them away?

Does dodger not like them because they are aimed at good golfers?

Sonartec is the same as Royal Collection, a Japanese firm that specialises in fairway woods and drivers.

Royal Collection have just relaunched in the US.

Sorry Dodger, they are awesome woods, I had a 3 wood and still use one of their hybrids. Great kit,

 

[Dodger]

Each to their own Craw but they've always looked like dogturd for me but then again I never understand the whole Scotty love in either,totally overpriced for what they are.

On a separate note how can a golf club be only suitable to 'better' players?Maybe there in lies why they went tits up,imagine that being said about TM,Pings etc etc.....surely they should have options to enable them to be used by all categories instead of a tiny percentage...in fact that bit about them being used by good players must be total bollocks if you have one Craw.......

 

[Ethan]

Sonartec was a club for the Tour and better player. No wonder dodger never heard of them

Sorry,I didn't realise I said I hadn't heard of them....I said they were rank IMO.

Its all down to the quality of the strike and I'm a ball striker alright!

The 3 wood I had was an absolute pocket rocket! Got the vouchers yesterday, thanks very much.

Let me rephrase them:

In the dodger with a sonartec setup, one of the items was rank.

OK, better?

I like to get the facts right Ethan,as a Doctor you should know not to take a wild stab at the truth.

Well, I know for a fact they were high quality clubs used by many better players.

I also know that the user is invariably the most unreliable component.

Put 2 and 2 together, and that will be, err, ...... 4!
