  1. I game the CS putter style. The 2 i would highly recommend is the Makefield original. I have 2 and the LAB mezz Max, got it from MGS testing. Both are great the makefield has the moveable interior weights such if the stroke were to change you could move some around to help keep you in the same path. The face milling is unique too. The LAB putter does exactly what is says it will do. It looks like the tank from Tron but after a few putts you don't even see the putter. In either case I super highly recommend the low torque putter shaft.
  2. https://www.harborfreight.com/search?q=press there is a one ton option or a floor model at 12 ton. for $100 buck more the floor model would be my choice.
  3. Harbor freight makes a small press that will hold the club and control the way you press into the club
  4. This was a marathon live stream and it was awesome, (in my opinion). Some good info from Gawain of ACCRA golf and some good fitting tips too.
  5. We will be conducting a Live-stream Monday 1730 or 530 pm eastern time Talking about The ACCRA golf shafts with the CEO Gawain. We will be discussing the new line up and all things golf shafts . Why because Im an equipment nut. you can find the livestream on youtube (Mcgolf Custom Clubs) or Facebook and X both under mcgolf custom clubs
  6. Using the 70 X and going after it would require a significant jump in speed to get an physically unstable shaft. Id suggest using the mevo and if you are not seeing about a 10 mph or better jump then it may the person at the end of the shaft.
  7. So the idea of being on a staff deal is to represent the brand offering you the deal in the best light possible. If you cannot perform well or talk about the brand well then there is no sense of taking that deal. Figure out what works best play and have fun
  8. I did not read any of the comments on purpose to answer: Based on the post above it would seem you really did not attend a fitting. You may have gone to a place such as big box store to "test drive" a golf club and yes the person watching is following orders to push a particular brand based on his supervisions direction. Ok that's business. If you are looking for a fitter that has your best interests in mind I would suggest that you look for one that starts with finding the best parameters for your game THEN making recommendations based on the manufacturers availability because contrary to popular opinion not every maker has a club to fit you.
  9. There are a ton of categories to choose from. If I were to break them down: Drivers: you already have them, Smoke, Q10, Wilson Ti, St Max Irons/ Wedges: a compare of the hollow bodies, Mizuno 245, Paradym Smoke, Tm 790, Then the wide soled wedges. Callaway CB and W grind wedges. Putter: you guy already did a solid for me,. but Makefield, or even try the Capto EZ for a golfer improvement item. Range finding: if there is a company that make a GPS device and a range finder. Put them side by side to see which one benefits the golfer better. A hands free push cart. jumbo max grips. and because Im me, how about a gripping station.
  10. 294s are virtually a unicorn. I do have some old wood wood shaft I believe are 270s, but would be tooooooooooo soft for the putter Since it is a putter you might consider making cuts the length of the shaft much like the callaways did woods and irons in the day. Using a 355 shaft while making a 3 or 4 cuts may allow you the need room for insertion. If it did not go in far enough then I would look at reaming it to 320 ish
  11. If you are a digger of sorts with the irons a high bounce number is a great start. That means the leading edge will not turn into a shovel directly as you interact with the turf. the rearward "bump" in the sole acts like a ski to prevent divot the size of Rhode island or breaking your wrists at impact with the turf. a possibility for the disposition to the rearward sole design in that your swing is not a severe version of chopping wood and more towards a golf swing.
  12. I was going to mention the post mount over the hosel also. However The ferrule threw me off. You can tell about the hosel by using a drill bit. Clean out the hosel, then try to insert the a 3/8 drill. The tip of the shaft is 370 and 380 is a typical dimension to receive the shaft and make room for the epoxy. Yes use centering beads. The drill may not go in easily or all the way but you should be able to tell. If it doesnt go in at all then try another drill and do a decimal conversion. Chances are the putter will need a 370 or 355. As far as finishing goes. you could remove the chrome with a grinder, sand wheel or sanding belt. BUT!!! you will remove the protection from rusting. You could polish to a high shine and it will look good as long as is is sealed with something as simple as car wax. It will also be lighter. As this is a first time into building that may not be a big deal.
  13. LOOOK another guy working with LEFTY golf clubs,,,,,,,,,,,, We had to go to another country but hey a win is a win
  14. typically,,,,, if a golfer tends towards hitting irons well, has a steep attack angle or demonstrates they dont like woods is a candidate for hybrids. the opposite is true for fairway woods. A 7 wood, is the bridge between to the two sets of clubs. it is shorter and more upright design as compared to a 3w.
  15. I prefer the 4+ grip because my lower hand is dominant and helps with the pulls
  16. typically if using double sided grip tape (not carpet tape) results in twisting two things may have occurred. An air bubble got trapped, easily fixed with a needle or tip of an exacto knife. 2 ) the core size and shaft butt end are very different. Lastly and a bonus the grip actually sucks. this happened to me using CP2 grips where the core just would not grip after 2 seperate attempts a quick stick with a knife and some heat to dry the solvent worked.
  17. no I remove the outer layer of tape. My tape dispenser does this automatically.
  18. having tested the T24s, they are very solid, Im a white satin guy, not so much a blue club guy.

    Mizuno 241

    We received the new Mizuno Pro irons for 2024. They are now Mizuno Pros not MPs as they coupled the Japanese marketing with US marketing. The new 241 comes in a slightly smaller package than the 221 measured in millimeter. The mass behind the ball has moved to be more behind the impact area of the face. The sole and top line have been adjusted for better turf interaction and thinner at address. It is available in RH and LH. to the PW.
  20. The length of the shaft in the 3W with head on is about 43" in the Driver is about 45.5". In just about every case the tour players are using completed golf clubs at 44.5 to 44.75. I my experience with fitting quite a few folks, we find lengths about the same. Choke down an inch and play it an entire round
  21. As a fellow Lefty, I just tested mizunos 241 (blade) and the new 245(hollow body) They sit pretty flat too. Very nice as options for the better player and average one.
  22. Not that I am aware however it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Kick point is another specification that is OEM specific. and really dont change radically up and down the shaft. But a smaller change can be all the difference. higher kick point are typically associated with shaft designated for "PLAYERS" or butt stiff type shafts. I have to use typically and other nebulous terms as it is a moving target. Id look to DG, KBS tour. Modus 125 or 115 s a start
