Thanks Tom, I will give it a try !

Has anyone found a magnetic hat clip ball marker that does not rust? Seems like a simple enough proposition however, I have too many hats ruined by rust stains from these critters. In researching online even those that advertise Anit-Rust or No Rust are dotted with reviews from pissed golfers with counterclaims and explicit warnings of false advertisements.

Try not to tell the same story twice in one round. Try to remember if I told this story to these guys before. Hit the ball. Find the ball. Move on.

Do you need a special wrench to change out the aiming plates?

drills for better rotation
Dokes replied to Chip Strokes's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
Try "skipping some stones or golf balls" underhanded/sidearm across the range. Forget about the postions of hands and arms, just feel the natural turn you get while aiming at a target. Now apply the same while swinging a club and "skip" the head of the club to the target. Don't try to hit at the ball, hit the target. -
Effect on flex when cutting a Driver shaft
Dokes replied to wowski_golf's topic in Club Making/Repair & DIY Projects
I just butt cut my Kuro Kage AV 50 (R) down 1.5", making it a 44" Epic Flash Driver. I did not have the right weights to increase the swing weight back to a D2, but played with it anyway. Results were a dramatic increase in accuracy but I lost nearly 20 yards. Is this common to lose that much distance when trimming? WIll the proper swing weight help? -
Shaft Trimming - Tapered Tip
Dokes replied to Dr Strangelove's topic in Club Making/Repair & DIY Projects
I am looking to reshaft my T300s (4-gap) with Steelfiber 90FC . The raw shafts come sized 1" longer that the specs on the T300s - ie 7 iron titleist club spec @ 37" and the 7i Aerotech shaft spec @ 38." My current set was not trimmed and true to the Titleist"(37" - 7i)spec. I play most of my clubs as "standard" length. Will butt trimming 1" on each iron effect the swing weight? or the 90CF intended shaftness/performance? Am I better off trimming or using Aerotech shafts untouched? -
I sent these MGS guys 20 bucks once. Wasn’t a night when I was “partaking” or even a social security payday. Kinda felt sorry for them. But not the sorrow I felt when I sent Bernie (Sanders) 20. His was from begging, theirs came out of sympathy, and I was a voyeur to their obsessions. Thing is, I got on their list. Now, at seasons end, looking back, because of this g-damn list, all I play is yellow Pro V1xs, drove 45 miles for a professional fitting, and traded away a perfectly great set of AP1s for a set of T300s that came in two months after I ordered them. I upgraded a 10.5-degree Epic to a Flash and got 3 or 4 extra shafts lying around. I got a $275 putter somewhere in the garage and replaced it with a $30 sawed-off Yes Penny Putter. Oh yeah, I also added a “most wanted” carry bag off Craig’s list, even though I only carry from the trunk to the cart and back. Thanks MGS. Thanks. I gotta MGS filter on my inbox. But no more, seasons over, I’m done. Quit. But I saw the new Vokey wedges are out.
