    the great spinks got a reaction from fixyurdivot in New Wilson Triad Golf Ball !!!   
    I was also unimpressed with the sleeve I put in play last week.  The conditions weren't great, but my issues were with wedges.  The cover didn't hold up on wedge shots and the cover had a crease in it after a single shot.

    Surprised it hasn't happened sooner.  The cost of materials and transportation has gone up a ton.  DSG wasn't going to eat that cost forever.

    the great spinks reacted to cnosil in Switching putter shafts   
    Like other shafts, putter shafts can be pulled and replaced or in your case put into another putter.  BST shafts are nice because the bottom portion is steel so you don’t have to worry as much about damaging the graphite; which is possible on an all graphite shaft.  The only potential issue might be finished putter length;  I didnt look at a picture of the two putters to know how/where the shaft attaches.  If one neck is longer than the other you will have a different finish length than the prior putter. 
     
    if you were asking about pulling the steel tip from the graphite portion of the shaft that is a different answer.  I have both positive and negative posts about being able to do that.  Based on your question, if you were doing this, I would definitely leave that job to a professional.

    I'm going back to Cobra with my driver today.  Fitted last year but couldn't sell the idea to the warden on another golf club spend at the time.  Putting my Sim Max in the corner and I have the RadSpeed XB with the peacoat blue finish being delivered today.  Freaking stoked about it.

    the great spinks got a reaction from JFish350 in Grass roots effort in changing who buys with a hole in one.   
    The warden at home doesn't care what I shot.  Me buying a round for strangers because I did something well on the course would not go over well and I'm more afraid of Latina Rage than I am of people not liking me for not buying them a drink.
    In reality, I play with a core group of guys that don't go higher than Jack or Crown and will drink whatever beer is cold so it's not an issue.  It's also not a concern because I've accepted that I will never hit the shot we're discussing.  But I couldn't care less about a tradition that says I should buy a round for anyone not in my group.

    MGS has been a full on Taylormade lovefest since the stealth came out.  It's as if MGS social has become the media arm of TM.  I say this as a fan of MGS.

    Havent been on the boards for a while since cornea surgery, so a little late responding.  Facebook Marketplace.  Lots of dudes get out over their skis with clubs they have no business playing.  Buy them because they see them on the internet or on TV, get them and immediately bail as it's not the magic pill that will make them better.  Finding these deals and flipping clubs I was able to turn $200 from a putter I sold into a new set of custom irons.  Deals are there to be had.

    Picked up an unhit speedzone 3 wood demo from PGATSS for 150, then a Taylor Made SIM DHY that maybe had been hit for a single session by a guy that didn't know what he was doing.  $100 for basically new.  I can't pass up deals.

    This guy at the bar gets so drunk he pukes on his own shirt...
    then the guy says to the bartender, "Oh no! My wife is gonna kill me when she finds out that I got so drunk I puked on my own shirt!" The bartender replies, "Hold on buddy, here's what you do. Take a ten dollar bill and put it in your shirt pocket. When you get home tell your wife that some "other" guy puked on your shirt but gave you ten dollars for the cleaning bill." "That's awesome." he says. Later on when he gets home his wife looks at his shirt and at him and he says, "It's not what you think. Some other guy at the bar got so drunk he puked on my shirt, but he gave me ten dollars for the cleaning bill." He hands her the bill. "Honey, this is twenty dollars." she says. He responds, "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. That guy...also s*** in my pants."
