Did you align the rib in the neutral position (180 deg. from top of the shaft), or did you rotate it to align the rib with your hands at address? (my grip is strong, so if the rib is in the neutral position, would that work?)

When you play in your events and touranments, are you allowed do this? It seems that even introducing another ball from you bag while your ball in play is in the fairway and you are waiting for the green to clear to play a shot would be, odd? What happens if the ball in play with the ball gets hit by the ball being juggled? What would happen if the juggled ball lands on the ground right next to actual ball in play and a player gets confused of which one is the ball in play? I have no experience in tournament golf and have never encountered anything like this.

From the original post "juggle a golf ball (not the one in play) on my sand wedge", isn't this striking a ball with a forward motion?

I've got Plus 4s on my irons and wedges, have used the Multi-Compounds and the Tour Velvets, both are good, I like the feel of the non-tapered grip in the trail hand through impact.

Actually, she has used mine on more digusting things.

For sure 3/4" isn't deep enough. You want at least 1 1/8" even 1 1/4". Sometimes those tip weighs get stuck in the hosel, it is hard to see them because they are round they can be mistaken for the bottom of the hosel. Could be glue also. Could be both. Can you insert something in that hosel like a long nail, to confirm that there is more space in that hosel than the 3/4" you are seeing with shaft. Also, did you rough up the shaft tip before trying to put in it the hosel? Reducing the O.D. of the shaft with sanding might help getting the shaft to go in deeper. (oh geez) Also, sanding the inside of hosel could help improve the depth. This needs to be done anyway, both surfaces need to roughed up and clean of debris before gluing. Some guys use dremel tools, I wrap sandpaper around a drill bit and sand the inside walls of the hosel by hand. If there is an obstruction, I'd apply heat to the hosel, then give the iron head a bang and see if something else falls out. If that doesn't work, then some true workmanship is required. Some guys on this forum have well-equiped shops with drill presses and dremel tools and the like and have machinist-like skills. Drilling out a hosel is an advanced skill for sure. If you have the skills to do this, OK, else I'd take everything to a clubmaker.

Thanks, I got to check these out.

Once I was re-shafting a set of irons and I used my dad's small belt sander with a linen belt from Golfworks and yes the I carved up a few ferrules, quickly. (Had no idea how to use it and still don't. ) And then I had to pull shaft, clean up the head and the shaft tip again, re-glue, etc. felt very small and ashamed. There are some videos on Youtube, turning ferrules with a belt sander and a linen belt. Those guys are good. Not me. Now I use a linen belt but I do it by hand, it takes longer but I can control it much better. Tape the iron hosel, and use the hosel as a stop. Move the belt over one side of the ferrule using a stroke like a how shoe shine guy buffs the top of a shoe. Then rotate the club and "buff" some more. Then acetone it, polish with a cotton ball. Works ok. BTW the club design looks great, nice job.

I use soap and hot water on my clubs, and a soft plastic brush, like my wife's toothbrush, for example. The woods and hybrids are basically wiped off, no vigorious scrubbing of any kind. Sometimes I will use a groove cleaner to get the stuck-on crud out the grooves. Use gently I might add. I use hot soapy water on the grips with a sponge pad about once every two weeks in the summer. Except the putter grip, never clean the putter grip, like Al Bundy's grill.

Being starved for ball striking and no space I was down in the basement hitting foam balls off a mat with a six iron into the basement wall that was probably 12' away. (cinder block wall, whitewashed) Got one really nice and it rebounded off the wall with decent force directly into my left eye. Fortunately the lid was in the lowered position at the moment of impact, else I'd probably be in trouble. These "foam" balls are kind of hard actually, might be the answer to the distance problem.

May I inquire at what establishment you are at in this picture?

Nope, golfing since 1977. Lots of close calls but.... If I get one, I'm afraid the world will come to end. Right up there with the Lions winning the Super Bowl. BTW, great idea @GolfSpy MPR, I'm in. Maybe I will hit a green at least.

A few years ago, went from '14 AP2s to Z565s, didn't notice a lot of difference off grass, I'm a scalper BTW, but the v-soles seem to work much better out of fairway bunkers.

While whatever caused his initial injury is debatable, what isn't debatable is once you go through a surgery like that on your lower back, you are never going to be same. Anybody who has a surgery on their back and comes out much improved without needing further revision surgeries is truly blessed. Finally, if a guy like Tiger Woods with all of his fortune and access to the best medical care on the planet still has problems, it shows how nasty back injuries are. As a receipent of bi-literal hip resurfacing, I can't explain what is it like to suffer pre-surgery, have an operation, then not be able to remember what it felt like to be able to move without pain pre-surgery. All you know your body has been changed forever, and there is no returning to what you were. It really is a sobering, humbling experience.

Those look fantastic. I'll take 12, delivered. Sent from my SM-A716U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I'm certainly not a professional, but few years back I reshafted set of irons and with the ferrule finishing (acetone) and re-gripping (naphtha) my hands got raw. I got a big box of surgical gloves, and wear a pair now if I use any chemicals. Plus, keeping the epoxy off my hands is good too.

Sounds like you got options, which is a good thing, Depends on money, medical, what does work mean to you. Some people thrive on work, they don't realize it until its gone, then they go crazy. I don't think that's me, I would be happy chipping. Other people work longer than they want, and have no time after work is done. This is sad for these people. I'd just like to end my working days on my own terms, with a little dignity and respect.

With his backup Qb in there too, (Go Blue). I thought they were trying to pull the browms offside, what a call and clutch execution. Sent from my SM-A716U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Let go, trust your feelings...

I have bought adapters from ebay and Golfworks, ranging in price from $10 to $30. I couldn't say anything bad about the any of them, and honestly I couldn't tell the difference between them from look and feel. I've probably assembled 10 clubs using adapters for Callaway, Titleist and TaylorMade, and haven't had a problem with any of them. I'd say the aftermarket adapter from Amazon will do the job. I found this link, the consensus was the cheap ones work as well as the expensive ones. https://forums.golfwrx.com/topic/1612626-aftermarket-adapters-warning/

Yes sir, even being from MI, 52 windy and wet is still 52 windy and wet, never good. Very sorry for all of you who have lost loved ones. Sent from my SM-A716U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

So now that's over, anybody have any experience with a Ferrari?

Looks like "we" will have to wash the sheets. I'm so ashamed. Feeling very guilty right now. Friday night on the MGS Forum, drinking and the internet. Great for the economy.

This is a good point, getting closer to the edge.... Good info.
