Iamlowsound: First, I think the USGA/R&A made a huge mistake when it tried to solve the long putter problem through a ban on anchoring, which had almost no impact. I'm sure what we're seeing by the...
Swingdome: I am saying that LAB removes the torque by centering the shaft through the center of gravity of the head (so that it is zero in its Revealer), but then adds that torque back into the final...
I am posting this with the hope of influencing future products as well as to inform our community. There is a deceptive marketing practice out there that seems to be swaying some of my friends. First,...
Finish is vitally important where I live, especially for wedges: +. I have found no better design than the M+ for the vast majority of players, self included. +. The finish on those wedges has been enduring....
Lengths are very close -- just under 35 inches. The newer, heavier club is in fact slightly shorter. Lamkin Deep-Etched on both clubs, a wonderful choice to fit a reverse-overlap grip. I never tried...
I switched to the Pro Forged after giving up on trying to make Game Improvement irons work for me. Club building friend of mine, professional level, also played them. Might still be in the bag if it...
I chose the mallet version because I like a balanced face. Built up with the same bent steel shaft/length as my old putter -- a polymer-faced Never Compromise mallet -- and same grip. The old putter...
I was dealing with the same problem. I don't know about the Steelfiber or Recoils, but the 95 Gram Fujikura Pro weighed 103 grams uncut on my scale. You can get it here in the stiff flex: https://www.golfworks.com/fujikura-pro-graphite-iron-shaft/p/fk0085/...
I grew up playing 1971 Wilson Staff blades, not a forgiving design at all. Then Ping came out with the cavity design and others followed. I tried many of these designs and never played better overall...
Those were the irons I played in high school. After about 20 years the shafts needed to be replaced. Decided to do it myself but did not know what I was doing and did not have a puller at the time....
Q-star tour should be a little softer at 70 compression compared to your current ball. You may like it for cold weather. The Maxfli Tour S should play pretty close to the Titleist Tour Speed, but it...
If you are having trouble with mid iron carry distance and/or holding greens, two things come to mind that have yet to be mentioned in this thread: (1) In general you will want a longer shafted club...
Thanks Britt. I have a good extractor with an adapter for different shaft diameters, but it is not spring-loaded. What you wrote is consistent with my technique and most of my experience.
Wish I could find that reference, but what you say seems consistent with (most) of my experience. Always used 1:1, normally 18-24 hour cure stuff -- either Golfsmith or Golfworks -- and never had a problem...
Can anyone comment on the approximate breakdown temperature of the various Golfworks epoxies? I am reading that some epoxies are hard to break without using a torch. For irons a high temperature bond...
OK guys. This just doesn't happen in life, or maybe once in life.....Wife says I can play for money. I will take Mark's recommendation and try KBS.
Thanks so much for finding this. I guess what catches my eye would be the low torque and low balance point. Consistent with the feel and performance of that set.
If I was playing for money KBS would probably get a hard look. Specs are what I would expect in that price range.
(I think) I need to match the XCaliber (red-colored) shaft sold by the Golfworks about 10-12 years ago. If anyone knows of this shaft or a really close match that is in stock somewhere let me know. I've...
Britt, your bag make-up issues are very similar to mine, i.e., should we go with hybrids in the 19-22 Degree range or long irons and a 5 wood? What do we take out of the bag to add a 5-wood? I'm interested...
