  1. I like the +4 option in grips.  I wish my current grip had that as a option.  Instead, I build up the bottom of the grip with 4 layers of tape to get the same effect.  I find that I have better touch on delicate wedge shots and I less grip pressure in my right.  I wear an XL glove so the midsize +4 or built up option work will for me. 

  2. That is going to be an amazing build.  You say you have everything, does that include tip weights? 

    I always dry fit everything first including blowing on the grips before gluing and taping anything down.  I also do not use the tour epoxy when building a set so I have more time to fiddle, and can mix a larger batch.  You will leave things to cure overnight anyway. 

    Good luck, and I am also looking forward to pics of the finished set.

  3. I think I would be a great tester for MSG for three main reasons. 

    1. I am an absolute gear head.  I love everything that is golf related. Clubs, balls, shows, electronics, bags, carts.  You name it, I love learning about it.  I am interested in the material something is made out of, the manufacturing process, as well as researching the marketing claims vs. actual performance.  I have started building my own clubs years ago so I could experiment with different shafts, grips, swing weights etc.  
    2. I live in SoCal near a dozen courses so I have access to courses and ranges mostly year round.  
    3. I just really really love golf and would represent the "average" golfer well.  The opportunity to share some of my experiences with others would be amazing.

  4. I don't play too often so it does not bother me to pay for a premium ball.  

    My preference is the Prov1x.  It has a consistent spin and approach distance that is the go to part of my game.  That being said, I have also mixed it up with the TP5x balls I have been gifted this year.  The TP5 balls are comparable but I just like the feel performance of the ProVs.  If I start to play more, I would likely play the Vice Pro Plus. They are the closest, less expensive, alternative to the ProVs I have found.

  5. I had a test iron I built with one of he Nicklus Secret Grips, and I hit it great.  I put a 20g weight in my irons, but it is not working out in my gamer set. The club overall feels heavier, and I lose the feel of the head.  I may pull the grips and give up on the experiment. They are now at a C6-7 swing weight now.  Golfworks sells these kits as well. https://www.golfworks.com/tour-lock-pro-weights/p/tl0026/

  6. Looks like Finchey is trying to pop the face off of another driver. 🙂  I have accidentally done the same thing.  Luckily the cart had a steel cage.  Now I just try to land one into the basket when it drives by, regardless of the distance.  

  7. I just walked my round yesterday.  It is good exercise, usually cheaper, and you don't go any faster since you usually have others in your group.  The only times I ride are mostly when I play with friends who are all also riding, to be sociable, or if I am trying to squeeze a round in first thing in the morning with limited time and will skip a few holes.

  8. I am a little late to the party, but I agree with the lack of overall value in the packages.  I have had an executive package for a year now, and there have been some good pieces, but also a lot of duds.  For every Penguin or Travis Matthew item, there are 5 house brands or items I would not wear.  Also, how many pairs of black golf pants can one person reasonably own. 🙂  I find myself returning about half of the packages due to sizing or just not vibing with the products.  I also do not go through clothing as much and now find myself with an abundance of golf clothing that I do not wear very often due to putting stuff in the rotation.  A lot of the time, there are ShortPar4 tshirts and hats that I end up donating.  If you can get a trial code or a discount, it is worth the gamble to try and get something different, but it is not worth a reoccurring subscription.

    Heads are in great shape with one small ding at the bottom of the 4 iron.  There is a bit of rash on the shaft of the 7 iron.  I tried to get solid pictures of the issues. 

    Lead tape on the back of the heads to get the swing weight to my liking.  I can remove them if you want.

    Priced to move to account for them not being perfect.

    5 iron measures 38.25 tip to grip with 0.5" increments between the irons.1065019345_IMG_7366(Medium).JPG.6a6ab84ff5d558441f6475f75f75312b.JPG.52d364248a2dac320c0e0a05a19f600a.JPG1134544270_IMG_7365(Medium).JPG.e2bbd6d1e6e20e5938982c95088903fb.JPG.4c203f995cef44feb45818c48aa4a72c.JPG1699990207_IMG_7368(Medium).JPG.7d186fba5b4cdfa21bb2466369d4b83c.JPG.9f75041ea939d9493f7d921c05ef6052.JPG15071906_IMG_7367(Medium).JPG.020473b3f4307b868929a23a358b4d5b-2.JPG.6ee4019385eac7b6e67a83ca6e02c995.JPG541654322_IMG_7369(Medium).JPG.11fcc299fb362e40f4fb6430668b9731.JPG.297b8349916b04e4502c15fa4f022ff2.JPG

    Hello everyone.  I have been a lurker for a few years, and finally figured I would complete my profile and be more active here.  

    1. I have been playing golf for about an 15 years and play to a 15 hdcp
    2. I love ... and hate ... how challenging this game is.  Perfection is unattainable.
    3. I have been reading the review and articles for years.  The level of testing of golf equipment is unmatched anywhere.
    4. I am in the LA area so I don't really have a home course.  I play where it's cheep and I can get a tee time.
    5. The best thing about golf in my area is that I can play year round. The worst thing is that it is expensive and rounds can take 5 hours.
    6. I work in tech support
    7. My user name is super original.  I live in CA, and I'm a GOLFER.  🙂
