A while ago I read that someone was able to bend the hosel on a GTX armlock roughly 8 degrees upright, if that's all that you need then maybe u can save yourself the trouble. However it's an armlock vs a center shaft. https://forums.golfwrx.com/topic/1934503-spider-gtx-is-really-stable/?do=findComment&comment=24777465

So I have an Armlock GTX that I'm trying to change its neck to a knuckle back (from a single bend). Using one of the knuckle-back neck kits on eBay. However, the problem is that the stem that comes out from the putter does not sit at a 90-degree angle (see attached image). Does anyone know a workaround? I know that the stem is made out of stainless steel, and the body (silver in the picture) is made out of aluminum. At the moment, I'm thinking of bending it as much as possible and if it breaks then I'm going to try to weld. However, I do not know if it's gonna work. Can someone tell me if that's even a good plan? Furthermore, I also think that it's going to be particularly hard because of how much loft an armlock putter needs I might need to bend the stem it to more than 90 degrees. Adore this putter by the way it feels great off the ball, the only thing that took me out of my studio stainless. Please tell me if anyone has any ideas. Thanks

i have no idea :)) then i guess the fact that the tees werent broken did not reflect my AoA. Since my launch angles are 21 ish therefore my dynamic loft is about 20~23 therefore my spin loft is more than 23 ish which means that its too high and explains the high spins. I dont think launch angles correlates to AoA.

Yes generally higher than the sweet spot. Ill try to do hit less up on the ball! Is the launch minus the driver loft equals the AoA?

I totally forgot about this! Its a slice on my miss hits. Otherwise im hitting a fade. I think part of it is the swing change and my ball position being too forward. I think Im coming over the top because back with the old swing and the old driver i was hitting low duck hooks. So then i gradually move the ball forward as an effort to kinda hit it higher. and i guess unconsciously starting to shift the path out to in. I also shift my grip weaker than before. Thank you so much!

No it was measured on a little portable monitor that wasnt a gc quad nor a trackman. I hit up on the ball, tees are never brokens after shots. I assume its about 10 up. due to the launch minus the loft? Misses are generally high on the clubface!

Yup I see, basically im compensating due to the weights being really forward in my old driver! Thanks for your helps ill look in to a swing change maybe less leaning back or something like that. Ill try to get a swing up!

I dont think i can get on a professional monitor right now atleast! My weights set up are 1 most forward and 1 at the middle of the track, quite close to the other one. I just read something about ball positions to alter the launch angles that i will try, maybe bring it back a bit right now its inline with my left feet.

I recently switched from an 10.5 M5 to a (10 @10.75) Tsi3 both with CK Pro orange X . However with this new driver, i am launching the ball at about 21-21 degree with ~4500rpm with ~115 chs and high 160s in ball speed. Only hitting the ball about 250 yards at most which is about my 5 wood! What can i do to change this? Is the high launch angle causing the high spin? What can i do swing wise to help this? I should add that i have been working on a swing change however i am hitting every clubs phenomenally. Thanks for your helps!

Yes Thanks! yup! I love my irons, very consistent with it! shooting mid seventies rn and its all good!

Yup its from a mat. But as far as distance its accurate!

I those are my carry distances i know this because its rainy season where i live so i dont get alot of rolls on course. With rollout my 9 goes 160 ish. My ball roll a quite a bit on greens but i dont mind it. I like the way my iron as is. I just want to compare myself to others! I was at the range the other day and saw some people with a monitor so i choose a pw and hit it. ive never had a gapping sessions before.

Dispersions are tight and distances are really consistent. i can carry my 9 up to 150-155. My 52 goes about 125. I can shape it both ways but often I hit a straight shot if not a little cut but with higher lofted club its a straight shot. Does launching it higher means that i dont hit down on it as much? Is the spin rate something i should takecare of. I think X100 are lower spinned! Do you think the shaft is too stiff for my swing speed?

I am currently playing x100 soft stepped in my irons. Its a Mp18- MB. I saw my stats the other day and was wondering how good my numbers are. I carry my PW 140.2, CHS 85.7, backspin is 7651 lauch at about 28.0 ball speed is 108.7. What do you think? Thanks for your helps

yessir i will try to seek out a fitter!

yessir thanks for your helps!

yup as Dave said i will looking in to my path being too much in to out and see if i can change it!

yes my ball go straight and curves left excessively!

Its never a thing i focus on but if i go to a ladies club, d0 clubs my backswing get really fast and my tempo is off and i cant hit it well!

Is there anything i could do? The people i played with today told me that i could fix this by getting more open at impact but i dont really know what to do right now :)). its controllable because i can throw the club infront of me and stop it from hook but now i cant!

I used overspeed set! i will look in to that however i dont think that is the case because i only hook my long iron (i forgot to say this) (3,4,5) not even driver . I should also add that my swing weight is D1.5 and i cant cant feel the head of my irons at all.

Through covid 19 i have trained and tried to increase my swing speed and has increased about 10 mph and now I consistently swing my driver about 120mph. When i gone out and played today i found that i hook every shots of my irons and I play a set of mp 18 mb with the ns pro 950 gh in regular. I am guessing that the shaft is the culprit but im not sure. Might i also add that hooking was always a problem with my iron swing but it was controllable before but now not anymore!

Yessir! I will look in to those shafts.

I live in Aus! Love txg. i tried to dig around to find that shaft when i saw the video. I think its in the neighbourhood of about 1500$ a bit out of my price range :))

There is just one problem with that :)) i cant find any hzrdus shaft here :((. Thanks for your helps tho!
