    Need some help on iron shafts

    in Club Making/Fitting/Repair

    Posted

    The matrix was a 65g shaft  where the DG300 is a 125g shaft and the 950 is in between at 95g.

    all three meant for different styles of golfers. If you are fairly aggressive and want to stay in the Srixon line I might suggest (after the fitting of course)

    that you ask about the Nippon 1050. I would guess that to be the better choice.

     

     

    PGA Show Day 3 & Recap

    in General Equipment Talk

    Posted

    Enjoyed the Wilson booth, the Bettinardi booth to the point we did some youtube videos also.

    I want to see the AR golf and confused them with another company that wanted to build putters after I fitted them

     

    Yonex had a big presence, I am trying to figure if that was because Bridgestone  and Mizuno didn't show.

     

    did you get to the golf mechanix booth? tool were very cool,,,,,

    Tour Edge Media Day

    I like deals for golfers but the snell things seems like a hard road to hoe. I hope it works out for him.

    maybe I should look into it.

     

    Went to the hole out booth. it was getting some traction but it seemed they were still in the project phase.  This would be a retail item. I was trying to wrap my head around making it into a fitting tool.

    Tour Edge Media Day

    Took in tour edge on the last day, The folks there are very knowledgeable and approach the game like a business (thats a good thing)

     

    I don't understand the snell thing though, If you are going to sell only via the internet why go to a show that all about selling to a rep, shop or store. I here all kind of good things about the ball  just cornfused

    PGA Show - Day 2

    in General Equipment Talk

    Posted

    Was at the show also,

    I have a box of the P2 grips coming.

    I was looking for the new products area and only found the pavilion, Only until we were leaving that I found in it in the daily rag in the map Duh!!

    Hit the burke putters and agree on the assessment. felt good but the graphics on the bottom are terrible.

     

    did you hit the V6 from Wilson,,,, very nice.

    Liked the look of the black steelheads. can you say new gamers.,

     

    based on the MGS review went to the MLA booth and the evnroll, time well spent. The MLA swings easy and the evnroll variety is very high.

    working on a relationship for both.

     

    did you see the sweep beep? and cool practice item.

     

    Fat Matt was a great idea but a bit over the top in cost, the neuroscience items were winners, I just kept thinking of the of copper necklace commercials,,,,,

    Driver Length

    in Club Making/Fitting/Repair

    Posted

    1) Wishon lengths are very conservative but he drives home the point of a shorter club. The data I have from my fittings show the 44.5" driver length is the most popular.

     

    2) correct, see RB7s previous post.

     

    3) You can expect the club to feel very light in comparison to the original length. There are discussions about the effects on cutting down the cut flex, spine, etc personally I don't much of that but 1.75" is significant. cosmetically you will most likely be putting on a grip over the logo of the grip.

    Size of grip and it's effects on ball flight

    in Club Making/Fitting/Repair

    Posted

    I tell folks that grip size is a catalyst to the push or hook concepts not a cause.

    Grips should be fit to the proper size of both hands. However, physical and mental comfort override proper fit.

    Meaning if I say I think midsize grips are the best fit for you and while going through the mid grips for selection the golfers final thought is,,,,,

    yea but I am comfortable with standard and like that feel instead, then the decision has already been made.

    The change of grip size will be in that golfers mind the ENTIRE time instead of concentrating on the swing.

    Dead Head Driver

    in Club Making/Fitting/Repair

    Posted

    I am in agreement with jaskanski.

    It would greatly depend on velocity of the club head mashing against the ball and then where the impact occurs.

    If you are hitting say near the crown with a higher than average club head speed then failure is bound to happen.

    however if you are hitting in the middle fairly consistently then it should be a very long time before anything noticeable happens to the club head.

     

    and yes I would expect the shaft to fail first. 

    How often do you get re-fit?

    in Club Making/Fitting/Repair

    Posted

    I have folks coming back for fittings for the following reasons

    1) major surgery (rotator cuff, knee replacement etc) to get confirmation on specs needed for new gear again if needed.

    2) recovered from major sickness stuff such as cancer, long term infections, that cause large changes in strength and weight

    3) got bit by the golf bug (BAD) and has been through a serious change in the swing

    4) has had equipment long enough (in the their mind) and want to make sure specs are still good.

    5) on the average 5yr if nothings has changed.

    6) or got a great deal on a set of clubs and wants to make sure the purchase was righteous

    L-flex shafts?

    in Club Making/Fitting/Repair

    Posted

    Lets face it, ladies don't the attention the guys get when it comes to the equipment. The women golfers we are talking about here are taller, stronger and smarter about the game.

    I rarely put on Ladies grips on ladies clubs. Men's standard or even midsize are more the norm.

    same goes with shafts and the shaft lengths. typical shaft flexes range in the A to R and mostly a 1/2 shorter than men's standard lengths.

     

    Fit them like anyone else and watch them play better

    Driver Help

    Instead of concentrating on the ball you might want to consider the shaft in play assuming ( yes I know what can happen when that happens) the head is in good shape. The shaft can prevent the need 16 Mph ball lost, additionally if you are spppiiiinnninngg the ball as added loft will take away from the ball speed ever so slightly. Just something else to consider

    Cut down the club to your desired length, take it out for a test drive and see if you even miss the swing weight.

    If you do, may be able to make it up with removing the 1 gram disc and putting in the heavier one.

    or adding lead tape or finding the way into the head and adding the tungsten and rat glue.

     

    the counter balance in the shaft is not that dramatic. I carry the ACCRA tourZ CB and love it. I cut it to 44.5 and there was no difference in feel to me.
