I saw an interesting post that shared a cut Kirkland Signature golf ball. Fast forward to this week. Malbon Golf released their well logoed ball for $54 per dozen. Things that make you go “hmm”.

I actually have two of these, very easy to build.  The first was solid cherry, for the second I used cherry veneer plywood for the main panel.  Cant tell them apart.  
The link for the original design (not my design) is gone.  I do have a PDF somewhere of my modified design, (I shortened mine to 15 rows or 90 balls total, I think the original was 18 rows by 6 wide, 108 balls).

I have the original Nike Air Hybrid version of this bag, and I like it a lot.

Very nice, love the laser, I may have to add one to my setup.  I have a extra laser or two laying around.  

I was thinking the same line, but maybe 3H, 7I, GW, Putter.

Anecdotally, I feel the V3 is significantly better than the V2 (which I played all last season). 
 
Less spin off the driver, improved distance and flight windows all the way around, and increased durability. 
 
V3 isn’t bothered by the wind nearly as much as V2. I’ve yet to see a V3 balloon on me, fwiw. 
 
As a K Sig homer that’s played them all, the V3 has really stood out to me.

They have been great so far.  I was playing TM M6 that I was fitted for, but these things beautiful.  Very simple look.  Just as forgiving and I feel like Im getting a bit more distance, but just getting started with them.  I am not gaming the 4i.  I hit it too low.  Sticking with the 4H.

Happy birthday @dbdors!

Almost missed it!!  Happy Birthday @dbdors!!  Have a lot of fun today!

Happy Birthday @dbdors!  Hope you have a fantastic day!

1. Have you purchased any golf products based on MyGolfSpy reviews?  (Please list which ones.)
I cannot remember all, but Evnroll ER 1.2, Maxfli Tour balls, Adidas Code Chaos shoes.  There may actually be more things that I did not buy, because of the review.
 
2. How has MyGolfSpy changed the way you think about golf equipment?
Dont belive all the hype, especially about clubs (drivers) and balls.
3. Have these purchases lowered your scores? (List which products and how much they have lowered your scores.)
I think over all getting fit (suggestion by MGS) and sticking with the clubs I have, has lowered my scores.  As for Maxfli balls, I save money, i.e. good performance vs. high cost.
4. How have these purchases helped you enjoy the game more? How?
Yes, it has helped, mainly I dont worry about gear and changing gear all the time.
 

Very nice, love the laser, I may have to add one to my setup.  I have a extra laser or two laying around.  

I've been working on minor improvements in my mobile regripping station.   I was inspired by AJ on his Mobile Clubmaker YouTube channel on making an easy club regripping station.  Here in Key West, we do not have basements or a lot of extra space for a club making workshop.  I needed something portable that could be easily stored away when I wasn't using it and somewhat simple.  So I took AJ's initial concept and ran with it.  

It's a simple design.  It's a 2x6 with a 2x2 screwed in at the end where the catch tray bracket is attached.  AJ's initial design had a board at the end that you put against the wall when regripping.  My change was 2x2 edge catches against the countertop and prevents the station from moving when sliding on the new grip.  The edge catch seemed a little more stable and could be used in more situations.  Just beyond the clamping device is a moving bracket (for different club lengths) that supports the club head and helps align the club face straight up and down.  I have two latches connecting the slide to the base 2x6 to lock everything for easy storage.

When I ready to regrip my clubs, I catch the 2x2 on the edge, level (side by side) the 2x6 on the shelf with shims and lock it in place with to clamps.  I add the catch tray (and the solvent recapture bottle not shown), slide the bracket to the correct position for the club I'm working on and clamp the club in the vise.  In about two minutes I'm ready to go.
Lately I've stained the wood to make it look nicer and waxed the 2x6 to aid in easily moving the slide.  I also added a leveling laser.  

The laser has a magnetic base and will sit on the vise.  I shine the vertical laser line on the white slide background to help me align the club face so it's sitting at 12:00.   I usually use the laser when I'm regripping putters to help insure I have the grip's flat section as perpendicular to the face as I can get it before making minor changes after releasing the club from the vise.
When I'm done, I break everything down and I have two brackets set up over my shed window where the main 2x6 station resides.  For a simple design, it works pretty well for me when I regrip clubs for me and my friends.
 
 

Got all the clubs I needed to regrip done.

Try spraying them with polyurethane before you put one on your hat.
