I have it set up just behind the photo.  It sits right below my patio with about 4 feet to spare for distance.  
Wife wants to learn golf as well so I am going to build a 4x10 platform for the hitting mat and get a second one.  That way the tees are lined up in the center and left or right handers can still hit from the middle.

If I remember correctly, Jack Nicklaus used to peddle a set of grips with counterbalance weights in the butt. Did anybody ever try them?  Think they were called the Secret Grip.

Yep.  Now sold by Boccieri golf who made the heavy putters.  I have tried them before and I don’t recall it doing much for me, but that was well before I knew about launch monitors and taking a deep dive into understanding all this stuff 😂. That was part of the reason I asked about weight selection because these grips have 16g weights and I don’t see it as  a one size fits all kind of thing. 

I have a set of those Hogan Edge GS irons 2-SW that are in mint condition, a coworker used to work for Spaulding and before they went out of business he had pick them up. They were in his attic still in original boxing. I loved the Hogan Edge originals prior to them coming out with the GS model. Best irons I ever played!

When I shoveled yesterday we had a total of 9 inches, freezing rain tomorrow morning. Got to love it!

Looks like a sub par round is coming soon!

If you decide to reshaft them also, I suggest the Dynamic gold in your flex (standard version/ not lite), game changer for those irons. Keep in mind they have a tapper tip .355. When I changed mine I bought the shafts so I only have to trim about 1/2in off each. lol that was 30years ago.

I did, they have a chart on their website to help you decide, I was between weights so I went with the heavier weight for the irons and got a 40gram weight for the driver.
If you get sometime check out the video, I been following him for a while. I used to make and repair clubs a long time ago and now been wanting to get back into it. First time adding the counter balance weights to my own clubs.

He completed 3 tests, the standard wedge, then with a 25gram weight in the butt end and finally a 50 gram weight. When counterweighting it reduces swing weight from say a D2 into the mid C's for the 25 gram the swing speed increased, yards increased and dispersion got tighter, for the 50gram, it changed the swing weight into the low C's decreased the clubhead speed a touch, gained more yards and dispersion was even tighter.
** even though the weighting made the swing weight get lighter the actual club was heavier. **
 
The weights I purchased go through the grip, you buy a little tool almost like a hole saw, cut the grip and the weight goes in and you tighten it down, he changed his by removing the grip with air and then replacing it with air.

I was watching some you tube videos and came across Elite Fit golf, he did comparisons for the wedges and also has another video for the driver counter balance.
 

I purchased counter balance weights for my irons to gain some clubhead speed and tighter dispersion from TourLock.

Happy early birthday present to me!!!

Buying things scratches the winter golf itch somewhat.  Here are a few recent purchases.
First, I bought grips, ferrules, and stickers for a refurb project I am working on.  

I also bought a joke putter online.  Check out the gold shaft and grip on this thing!   I would show you the putter head, but this is a family-friendly site.  Suffice it to say there is an engraving on the putter labeling it as “UNIQUE D”.  (Yes, in all caps.)

You have to wear them down.
