    Glad it's working. Keep posting on how it is going.
     
    I am adding counterbalancing to mine and possibly some other adjustments. I plan to report how well those work out. Really like the adjustability of the putter. Only thing missing is a loft adjustment.

    I seem to be more accurate with the RX5. That could be due to a few things. As you mentioned the MOI is a little higher. Also, being wider the white perpendicular alignment line on the putter face top edge is a little wider so that may help. I have read that many people, when they get a new putter (or any club), seem to have a "honeymoon" where they putt better, but after the newness wears off they putt as well as they did with their previous putter (and maybe a little worse). For me, I noticed a slight improvement with the RX5 and just seem to be getting a little better as time goes on.

    Sorry for the late reply as I just saw this. Honestly I can't recall the sound it makes. It wasn't enough different than any of the various other putters I have used. Or maybe I am just not tuned into the sound and simply focus on the putt.
    Regarding the RX4, I used it up until last March. It worked well. Then I came across an RX5 on ebay for a reasonable price. I decided to use it like it was before putting a longer shaft in. Turned out I was, and still am, putting better with it than the armlock RX4. I added some more weight to the head and may experiment with adding even more weight. 
    I also came across an RX3 that I got for my wife who has just started golfing 2 years ago. She had a terrible time lining up putts with her previous putter. The RX3 has been so much better. I also got the lie angle set for her so that helps.
    One thing that I think might make the Cure RX putters even better is one of the modern putter shafts. I may contact Cure to see if I can get some of the head "pucks" to put a shaft in.

    I do all the things mentioned: wet towel, reflective umbrella, plenty of water. Still, when there is no breeze I think the fan would help greatly.

    I am retired NASA and play in the NASA league, about every 3-4 weeks. We hit some high end courses like Kingsmill, Ford Colony and others like Riverfront, Stumpy Lake. I use the Grint (free version) for keeping track of my scores so I will check it out, but isn’t the added functionality a subscription? Thanks.

    Just to add to the two Pure users here. Everything they said plus I can install, adjust and remove them easily myself with air pressure. I have some Pure grips that are 5 years old and no wear as far as I can tell. I use the Pure Jumbo wraps and they work great with my arthritic hands. Only issue some may have with the Jumbos is they are a bit heavy, but that's not a big deal me.

    The place I stay in Florida has a little diving range. I hit a red Callaway ball about 210 yards (about my limit). I could see the ball. I hit about 20 more balls and then went to pick them up. The red ball was gone. So someone in a golf cart or an alligator took it.

    Funny you mention the bell. This was my first time playing there and my teammate mentioned the bell hole. I thought he was referring to the shape of the fairway??? When we get to the bell the post and frame was there but the bell was gone. A nearby homeowner probably stole it as it would get old fast hearing it rung throughout the day. I didn’t realize until now what it was there for (duh).

    Looking for a good site that explains how handicaps are determined, and how the different courses ratings affect the handicap. I have been playing for a few years but haven't tried to determine my handicap. I just joined the Grint and see a handicap index for me and also each course has a handicap. Also see the term slope here and there. Was in a tournament last week and they were talking about the hole handicaps. Would like to understand.

    peteco got a reaction from GaDawg in How to Prevent Loosing a Club Headcover???   
    I just lost another headcover while walking using a golf caddy. I take the cover off and place it on the caddy, then put the club back in after a shot and forget to put the cover on. Walking down the course the cover falls off where I perched it and I lose it. Yes, I get distracted and am absent minded. What have you found to work  to keep from losing a headcover?

    Top Flite Hammers for me. Buy a stock of them when on sale, less than $1 a ball. Maybe someday when I get to the mid teens (I hope) I will upgrade to something better. But they work great for me at this point.

    Good reason to keep alignment rods in my bag, which I should be doing anyway.
