Years ago I re-shafted a couple of that iron model. Those irons most likely came with either graphite TFC 100i’s or steel CS Lite . Iron shafts, both .355 taper tips if I remember correctly…. The D’s / woods may have been .350 and possibly “shimmed” for fit. Have seen this , not in full set though. But it’s possible and/or fakes as previously stated.

Flat lie angle most likely could be adding loft or increasing your effective loft at impact. Basically your new lie angle could be contributing to a more ideal impact/strike angle at impact (based on your mechanics). How about accuracy? Are your shots starting online, curving any , and/or straighter? Once I figured my ideal lie angles, trajectory and accuracy were more consistent on good swings.

Agree the price is steep given they do not have a track record regarding golf shoes. I do wear their shoes ( one trainer shoe and a ripstop runner-my favorite casual sneaker of all time) and like their clothing. Pricey but I have never purchased anything from them that was not high quality and fit perfect. But it kinda really should be for the price. I am interested in hearing reviews for their golf shoes.

.370 tip in a .355 hosel
aerospace_ray replied to Arlarson's topic in Club Making/Repair & DIY Projects
Looks near perfect. Great job. I have done this as well many times over the years. Made some notes over the years from my trial and errors. My best results are when I take my time like you did here. Also the measurement part (i.e. depth of .355 hosel, ensuring there is enough parallel tip area to sand, etc, etc). Not my favorite or preferred process for installing a shaft but sometimes it works great....sometimes . -
I am very grateful/happy my sons surgery ( scapula osteochondroma ) went well this morning. Being the parent that worries too much I just wanted to post this because reading MGS forums & prayer settled my nerves while waiting. Appreciate MGS community.

From my own experience I have experienced a correlation regarding total club weights and my late round endurance. So I use to play a course like you reference (hilly) and I walked (carried my bag). It took several months but my body adjusted. Actually got to where I could occasionally play 36 walking. It was during this time that I switched from heavier True Temper Dynamic Gold's to lighter graphite shafts. One of the first things I remember is I felt stronger late in my rounds. The shaft weight was a secondary concern for me going into a fitting or club demo test. The primary concern for me was total club feel/weight. Feel is subjective. I like a balanced club feel, not club head heavy and not back weight/counterbalance -- just a smooth feel. And desire a soft flex feel in lower part of my irons. In other words I like to feel a slight kick with my irons at impact. To achieve everything I like I play iron shafts anywhere in the 65 gm to 85 gm range. Driver swing speed at moment is averaging 100-103. Another thing I have learned the last several years is how to practice smarter, work out and rest properly and stretch. I only mention this as for me it makes a huge difference for me holding up during walking/playing extremely hilly courses today and/or suffering through long slow play rounds. In the past I spent too many hours on the range before playing a round and definitely did not do what I consider the little things that add up (work out properly, stretch, practice/train smarter) to health/recovery. May not apply to you but I wanted to share.

I have been looking research/for a lower cost training aid/system that is portable (i.e. I can take to range/course). Appreciate the above posts regarding critiques/link to website. Might have to try this product.

Well stated. 100% agree with your comments.

I am in the club too..... :( Four decades of golf and no 1 ever recorded on the card. Oh well, one day :) Sent from my SM-N960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

If you do a search on ebay there should be results that show that possibly identify the shaft you are interested in. You might also contact Callaway customer service for information. Good luck.

Love the feel of that Tour Snsr/blue grip. While I don't play it now I have in past. Additionally I wanted to share that at one period of time I enjoyed the Garsen type grips as they seem to quiet my hands or rather I did not open/close putter as much. I may go back to those on a few of my backup putters.

You reference quality proven wedge brands that work for most with & w/out being fit to. I prefer lots of testing/proper custom fit. I have several friends that just buy off rack based on loft and do just fine without any fitting or testing beforehand. Sent from my SM-N960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
