  1. I'm sure there is someone out there that can definitely do it. I may also try a heavy duty vinyl type adhesive so that it sits completely flat. My prototype sits up because the tape I used to hold it in place for the picture was quite thick. The printed part though is 0.5mm thick.
  2. Here is the version of the MLA style alignment that I'm going to go with. I think it looks pretty clean and I like how my eye focuses on the white. In addition, I designed an insert that you can put into the hole to replicate the Odyssey "2 Ball" style. It clips down into the hole with tabs that grab underneath to keep it in place. It took a long time in CAD and a lot of printed prototypes to get the angles and the tabs just right but I think it turned out pretty well. Total weight ended up only being 3 grams and I was really focused on keeping the weight as low as possible while making sure it felt strong and durable enough. One drawback to adding the insert is that you won't be able to pick up the ball with the hole anymore.
  3. Right now this is a 3D printed part that is very thin that I will probably attach using some strong 2 sided tape. I could also have a vinyl version made at some point or even hand cut one so that it's even lower profile.
  4. DF3 finally arrived today! Prototyping the alignment aid V1.0
  5. Well see it's perfect then because the Krank is already 6mph slower than the Cobra so they didn't have to slow anything down further for him!
  6. From all of his YouTube videos I've seen where he mentions the driver, he speaks solely about the bulge/roll that Krank was able to give him that allows him to hit it straighter at his speeds. Apparently he was complaining that Cobra wasn't able to find this combination for some reason (although I'm sure they could easily). He spoke about how he could hit it out on the toe side of center and knew it would draw back the exact amount he was looking for and could basically do that on command. I'm sure that means more to him at this point than the distance aspect.
  7. Krank almost 6mph slower ballspeed than the top driver and dead last overall in ballspeed They must be making these to avoid breaking more so than to produce top speeds.
  8. Let's just say if Lab golf and MLA golf had a baby...
  9. My DF3 entered production today so hopefully it'll move through quickly. Went completely naked with the alignment but I have something planned once it arrives
  10. Got my Bridgestone Tour B X mindset balls today also and playing with them tomorrow!
  11. I have one of these as well and have used it a few rounds so far. The roll for me was so immediate that it seems to come off the face extremely fast which was something I had to get used to. On the putting green I ended up blowing a few short putts way by the hole until I got adjusted to the speed the ball came off the face.
  12. This grip is legit! I used it for quite a while and had good success with it.
  13. I've built shafts for one of the competitors out there and he's using the same flex I play. I swing around 100mph and he swings around 150mph... The only reason he isn't using the ladies or senior flex is he likes it to feel just a touch stiffer than what most guys out there are using. He also said that the lighter and softer shafts are much easier on the body for the amount of swings they do and the speeds they produce. The days of XXX flex are long gone.
  14. Ahh OK, now I know. That looks like the driver that came with the 10pc box set that Callaway released in 2016. https://youtu.be/3PV2Btr70pg?si=Zgy97O9nS64wLUWe
