FAQ

Q. What is the difference from the Resonate GI?

A. The position of the G Carbon is different. The GO is an outer carbon, with the carbon placed closer to the surface, while the GI is an inner carbon, with the carbon placed inside the blade. The manufacturer-stated thickness, composition and weight are the same.

Q. Does it come with rubbers?

A. No, only the blade itself is sold. Rubbers are sold separately, so please choose them together with glue and other items.
