Grip Replacement and Recommendations
3ironpunch replied to Au_funk93's topic in Golf Balls/Shafts/Grips
Hello everyone. I plan on replacing grips soon and I am wondering if anyone has tried the superstroke grips (for clubs, not putters) and if so, would be willing to share some feedback. Thanks -
Yep. I figured vinyl before paint, and maybe never paint. Thanks
-
Thanks. That's what I was thinking but was not certain. I plan to shop Hobby Lobby for some vinyl to test it out. The putter is a mallet that has a center line but it is rather narrow.
-
Thanks. I guess I should have asked a different way. . I plan to add vinyl to my putter head to increase the size of the alignment mark. I have zero experience working with vinyl. Has anyone ever used vinyl or vinyl wrap on a putter?
-
Question... Has anyone ever added vinyl or paint or other material to enhance the alignment lines on a putter? I have a mallet with a single line and it is a bit narrow. I am thinking about adding something to provide better alignment.

I am the original owner of a Nikent Pipe PP-01. It is old and tired but it still has a gravitational pull a bit greater than my Toulon Daytona

I carry a 4 5 and 6. 6 is my 150 club and I hit it well. My 5 iron I only keep around out of loyalty. It is both my hole in one club (Par 3) and eagle club (Par 4). Other that those two times in the last 7 years, I don't hit it often or well. I hit the 4 iron more often and more consistently.

what is the proper pace of play when it's packed?
3ironpunch replied to Rockerdude's topic in Breaking News and Debate
So, here's one for the record books. I played this past weekend in 3 hours and 40 minutes. We rolled from the #9 green right into the waiting line of carts on the #10 tee. We had plenty of hydration and didn't need to hit the club house at the turn. And for the back 9 we still waited on 3 holes and a few sessions of " duck and cover" from the group behind us. Oh and we did miss the fairway on occasion and had to scour the tree line for the errant "fade". Not sure how this happened but I am willing to bet it is an isolated occurrence but I am not complaining -
Date 05/28/2023 Course Name Chickasaw Golf Club Gross Score 99 Course Handicap 21 Gross Strokes over/under par 27 Net Score to Par 6 Net Score 78 Net Birdies or better 6 Longest Drive 246 I was able to play a local state park course that "used to be" a Bear Trace Course designed by Jack Nicholas. It closed several years ago and reopened. The layout is still the same as before. Fairways are ample but challenging. Layups are recommended unless you are a long hitter. All greens are elevated and protected. The best part of the day, my father and brother were my playing partners. *Question.. I am not sure I am calculating these net birdies correctly. Does anyone have a recommended site that can explain the process? * Thanks

Date 05/22/2023 Course Name Lakeland Golf Club Gross Score 102 Course Handicap 18 Gross Strokes over/under par 31 Net Score to Par 13 Net Score 84 Net Birdies or better 0 Longest Drive 247 First round after a two year healing break and it was cart path only. Two holes with decent drives. Two irons shots to the front of the green,two chips and two one putts = 2 pars. Everything else about the round shall be erased from memory

All great comments here.. I have gone covered or uncovered at various times. For some, I am sure it can be a form, function or even fashion statement. For me, an iron cover decision is functional to keep the bag chatter down or keep from losing a badge off the back of an iron. As I like to tell my buddies that play, "My sponsor dumped me so I am out of pocket for equipment". With the high cost of equipment I try to keep my gear cared for. Not that is helps residual value, but if I want to give my set to my son or brother when I upgrade, I would like the irons to be presentable at the very least. And if someone like my choice of iron covers, great. If they don't, that's great too, either way it's a conversation.

What are you doing with the '21 Ball test data?
3ironpunch replied to TBS's topic in Golf Balls/Shafts/Grips
To start, I really appreciate the time and effort the MGS staff dedicates to ball testing and data analysis. The results a couple of years ago prompted me to switch from Chromesoft to Maxfli CG. Reviewing the data, the performance for me was somewhat of a push. I hit balls in the water and the woods, so cost is a factor for me:) In the last two seasons, I have improved. I hit more fairways and a few more greens. This is most likely a result of practice and effort, not a switch in golf balls. If I can increase my swing speed and consistency, I might consider another switch. -

I do like the coffee. This roast is smooth and stands on its own. It is my first purchase and I will definitely try other roasts Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy -

Well. I walked nine the past two weekends. Didn’t score too poorly but I must need new shoes ‘cause I feel like a three day old cake donut. ...About to fall apart. But on the bright side, this arrived on my doorstep. And it was worth the wait. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy -

Sirchunks blade experiment and restoration
3ironpunch replied to sirchunksalot's topic in The 19th Hole
All these old blades look totally fantastic. I always wanted to hit my grandfathers Wilson Staff blades from the late 60’s but I was not allowed. I’m sure that is normal [emoji16]and I am certainly not the ball striker he was so it was totally fine. Skip ahead 35 or so years. I would never think of hitting his Staff’s although I am sure there is still magic left in them. But I did score a full set of 1972 Wilson Staff Button Backs with the woods. I have always planned to try a restore and maybe game them. I will keep an eye on this thread in case there is a classic bag challenge Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy -
Thanks very much

Question...what is the rule of 12 please? thanks
-
I just purchased hogan wedges and had them built to my spec. I felt it would help since the set wedges they replaced were upright and +1. I don’t think I could have hit them otherwise

Great info Rev I think I understand where you are coming from here. I have two set wedges, PW and AW in the XR-OS's along with two old Renegar's which I always left in the garage because they were "non functioning" (wink) . The AW has always been a full swing 70 yards and the PW a full swing 90 yards. I have tried for many years to employ the Pelz 3 swing method. Occasionally it works, most of the time it's just ok. So, in an effort to have some consistency under 70 yards AND have something that will actually have a chance to hold a green, I decided to try some Hogan's. I picked up a TK 44 and three Equalizers ( 48, 52 and 56 ). Once they arrived, off to the range I went. I can say that I now know the Equalizer 52 is a solid 50 yard club for me. The 44 can replace my set PW . The jury is still out on the 48 and 56 as I just have not had the time I would like to practice with the new tools. The pro of the decision. Feel and versatility from the forged clubs AND I now have a change to hold a green as they will definitely impart actin on the ball that I have never been able to achieve with the the set wedges. The cons of the switch. I found that I have to commit to learning HOW to hit these clubs as they are not Game Improvement models. AND Now I have two more clubs that may or may not have a place in the rotation in regards to yardages. I guess Time will tell..... AND they are Really Nice Looking Clubs IMHO
