Air Gun Installed Grip Twist
Pooter McGavin replied to fixyurdivot's topic in Club Making/Repair & DIY Projects
You cold try putting a little contact cement inside the grip before installing. You should still be able to remove them with air without to much trouble. -
14 way, 4 way, 3 way bags Thoughts
Pooter McGavin replied to tj2kgolfer's topic in Golf Bags & Carts
14 way on a push cart. If I am carrying it, a 2 or 3 way classic bag. -
Caddytek

I bought the rukket net that came with a small mat. It seemed to be the most popular at reasonable price from my intardnet seach. The mat is ok, but there's definately better options out there.

Anyone go down a flex (or two) for winter?
Pooter McGavin replied to z1ggy16's topic in General Equipment Talk
No, I don't think I would like the change in feel and I still hit it high enough. I am often hitting an extra club or 2 into greens and playing up a tee box though. -
Anyone having troubles with Golf Works this Holiday Season?
Pooter McGavin replied to Dweed's topic in General Equipment Talk
My last order was a couple months ago. My 5 iron shaft was damaged in shipping. I called them. They had me email them a pic and sent a replacement. Shipping took longer than it used to. I live 40 mins away. Which is odd since they no longer run discounted shipping promos. -
Has anyone backweighted their irons?
Pooter McGavin replied to Siamese Moose's topic in Club Making/Repair & DIY Projects
I was trying to decide between s300's and s400's for a new set. I added 4 grams of lead tape just below the grip on a set with s300's as an experiment. I liked it in wedges, and saw no benifit in irons. If your gonna counter weight, I would swingweight them based on a 50g grip. Counter weighting or changing grip weight should be thought of more of a way to change total weight than swingweight in my opinion. -
S400 is the most popular on tour, so heavier and softer as a rule of thumb. I'm using the older spinners with 4 grams of lead tape added to the backside of the shaft just below the grip playing at D4-5 I play S300 in irons at D2.

Everything except wedges. Wedges come up short for me when tee'd up.

You could consider soft stepping a mens reg flex 2-3 times. That will put it about a flex softer and you'll cut off more of the butt which would make it thinner.

I use the sun mountain xl holder and a 40oz hydroflask on my clickgear. I put tape around it to keep it from ocasionally falling out. -
Best Swing Grips for Golfer Who Doesn't Wear a Glove
Pooter McGavin replied to Golf2Much's topic in Golf Balls/Shafts/Grips
Best grips microperf are my favorites. I've tried the regular and a couple different gripmasters. They are pricey but they last a long time. I've wore out the area under my thumb on a gripmaster roo grip (~2-3 years) and had a butt cap fail on a bestgrip (~2-3 years) No issues with the rest though. -

Driving Iron, hybrid, or fairway… for 200+
Pooter McGavin replied to doubleduhric's topic in Golf Clubs
Same here. A hybrid or driving iron might end up 200, but I can't reliably carry 200 with them. -
Practice with the clubs you play, but pay attention to contact, and strive to hit the sweet spot. It wasn't until I played blades that I made it a priority, but you dont need blades to do it.

G-fore and Footjoy for me. Also prefer spikeless, ever since I bought a pair of New balance that were uncomfortable enough that I thought about it. It didn't help that they weren't waterproof either.
-
The shafts are too light, and not stiff enough. I do not get along with rentals.
-
No. That being said, I have a 2nd set and a 3rd, 4th, 5th .... If you do buy a new set don't get rid of your old set though.
-
I buy blind because I'm to cheap to get fitted. I'd rather spends thousands figuring it out myself.

Do Scotty Cameron weights also fit Edel?
Pooter McGavin replied to cksurfdude's topic in General Q&A
You may be able to hide the lead tape under the weight for a cleaner look. -
Shaping vs stock shot
Pooter McGavin replied to GolfSpy MPR's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
Play to your strength, but practice both. I believe practicing the opposite will help you make subconscious adjustments and improve consistency. -
Game golf. New in the box, hidden away somewhere. Not sure I want to stick the end pieces in my clubs.
