Last time I played I shot a 41.....Should have been a 36.
3 Putt bogied 3 holes. Spent 10 minutes getting used to green speed before, which was a waste of time, as each green is significantly faster or slower than the one before it. Blew a 20 foot putt 15 feet by on the first hole after a great fairway bunker shot for OIR. Two others I layed It really short because those greens were like syrup.
Couldn't go up and down from 25 yards for birdie on either of the chances I had to,(Short par four and 500 yard par five).
After a perfect drive cutting the corner over trees on a dogleg, I was left with a 135 yard nine iron in. No big deal right? Wrong. Hooked it almost into the woods. Save bogey with a 30 yard lob wedge and two putt at the worst right? Wrong. Had rained that morning, I failed to notice how much softer it was where my ball was than anywhere else. My 4 degrees of bounce decided it wanted to dig into the dirt, I left myself with a 45 foot putt, which I left 10 feet short and missed that putt too.
Parred the last hole, 41.

Wow, four degrees is a lot to be open. What makes you choose to make it that open? What kind of performance do you see different than neutral? Do you have trouble hitting draws/have your misses be slices?
Very interested in this, I have never really known about customization of face angle besides a degree or two on drivers, or like my i15 driver and old three wood they were slightly fade biased, I believe two degrees.

Keep forgetting to snap new pics. That said, 2 new toys have come in to tinker with. First, I bought an R9 4 wood to tinker with. I ended up stripping and ghosting it, as all my woods and hybrids are ghosted. I'm installing a spare Talamonti PD80 I have lying around in it.
Today, had another arrival. LOL. Got in a Tour Issued TMag Superfast 2.0 TP version 2 3 wood at 14.8 degrees of loft and 4 or so degrees open. I immediately slapped an Aldila Phenom in it and it's drying now. Looks like I'm in for more testing sessions to come, lol.
Was the 14.8 your decision? Can't say I've ever heard of it being so exact.

Needle tipped bottles and the acetone wash and lots of practice. I've actually changed it since those pics. I keep forgetting to take some pics of the new setup.
I can imagine the practice. Looks pretty sweet when it's done though. I'm gonna have to get some needle tip bottles, those clubs all look great, I want to start doing paint fill on all my clubs. What kind of paint do you use?

If you ever need to get rid of that thing I might know a guy.......
I just did my first paint fill with nail polish. How do you do it that precise? When I did it I simple covered the areas with nail polish, then used nail polish remover to get the excess on the sides off.
By precise I mean being able to use different colors next to each other.

2013 Callaway X Hot Staff Bag

I guess I'm not getting the same feeling.... Seems staff bag-esque to me.
I think it looks great, I'm diggin the looks of the x hot line, minus of course the irons, which I am not as excited about.
I guess now that I think about it the white could be somewhat taylormade-esque, but loads of companies have made white staff bags before.
