      Compared to the Scratch irons I played last year I'm already 1/2 to a full club longer than last year. This could be interesting

      Just think, last year at this time I probably had 5 rounds in and it was 80. This year we will be lucky to golf in April

  14. Congrats guys! Looking forward to the reviews and sorry, but I can't resist this one... I'm jealous -ier!!
  15. I think you are good to go then. If you read the fine print it actually says "We'll send you a hybrid but you have to send it to hckymeyer when done reviewing"
  16. Waiting for Christmas morning is a breeze compared to waiting for golf season with new clubs sitting next to you!!

      Storm petered out before it got here. We only got 7" or so. Unfortunately, the long term forecast doesn't even show the temperature reaching "average" in the next 2 weeks.

       

      Global warming my ass.

      I feel Ya BK from the other side of Lake Mi. I am absolutely jonesing to get out and muck around when all this snow melts!

  17. 6.4 RBZ 14.5° w/ Grafalloy BiMatrix S flex Rescue '11 18° with Oban Kiyoshi 100 04 flex I was also going to go with MBP-ier, but I see that it's taken already Plus I don't think anyone could actually be more MBP-ier than the original. So depending on the timing of club arrival the beginning of my review could be much snow-ier or cold weather-ier than normal leading to more of an AboutGolf Simulator-ier review for the first couple sessions before getting onto the course.
  18. Excited to start my iron build. Finally got all my parts, tools, and supplies!!

      The clubs look great!! Adams CMB w/ C-Taper S+. All at D5 swing weight and +1/2". I'll have to do an updated WITB, but I'm not sure I'm set with my hybrid right now.

  19. 2 1/2 months since I swong a club, but played 18 on a simulator today and it felt great!

      Hope to get to GolfZone today -- shake off some of the cobwebs and rust...

  20. Just going to sum it up here. You don't need to use tip weights. They are just a tool used to dial in a certain swing weight when you are building the clubs. Another popular method would be using tungsten powder. The powder is poured down the shaft until you get the desired weight and then you shove a cork down the shaft to hold it in place. If you aren't building your irons to any particular spec then you don't really need them. I will add in the obligatory remark about getting fit though. I'd highly recommend finding out what works best for you, then you can always use those specs to build up your new set. As BK already said you don't have to glue everything in right away. It's best to dry fit everything together and make sure you have the swing weight you want before you glue it up. Just make sure you have the grip installed when measuring the swing weight.
  21. Definition of torture: Getting a new set of irons a week into the offseason and not getting to hit them for 4 months!!

      Too bad I'm working in WI this weekend, I would love to get one last round in. I'm in the midst of record number of consecutive weeks driving back to southeast WI... I lost count, but it's around 8.

      Just heard Stonebrooke is opening up this weekend as well - and Bluff Creek.

  22. Off Season Day 5: Can't believe it's been 5 days since I swung a club. Starting to get the golf shakes...Only 4 more months to go

      Definitely go visit 2nd Swing in Minnetonka... I went there for the first time this weekend and I felt like I walked into heaven. They have more clubs than you can shake a stick at. It'll cure even moderate to severe golf itch... Orrrrrr make it worse. There's only one way to find out.

      I've been to 2nd Swing many times, great place to hit stuff. I'm also going to try and hit up Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids. They have simulators for indoor golf.

  23. Played my last round of the year on Wed and it was definitely a tale of two nines. Went out in 48. Couldn't make a putt with the belly and pretty didn't hit anything else either. Had three doubles and 6 bogeys. It was terrible. Came home in 39. Started hitting everything well and making some putts. Only had one birdie, but I'll take a 39 pretty much anytime.
  24. My wife wants me to ask what kind of boots those are. She wants a pair now...thanks
  25. Obviously tough to tell without looking, but more often than not it's some dried glue that broke free. Unscrew the shaft and see if the rattle is from the club head or from the shaft. Also double check all the screws and make sure they are tight. If it's in the shaft it's probably glue, if it's in the club head then someone else will have to give you ideas cause it's out of my league. If it really is in the shaft you can try heating it up with a heat gun to re-melt the glue and get it to stick. Or just pull the grip and see if anything will fall out the end.
