Well, go big or go home as they say .  Not much value in a loft/lie machine that cannot reliably measure to at least half of the units of measure it's intended to achieve.  By all accounts those are top shelf.  Let us know what you think of it.

Is that a mid or full mallet? 

The main 2 questions in my mind is --- Is it USGA conforming? And will there be a special Tour Issue Version???

Yeah, and the Golf Mechanix machines that are around $799 don't come out to be all that much cheaper after adding in the stand, the bending bar, etc. The Mitchell machine prices listed include the stand and bending bar.

I just installed some BBandFCo ferrules on my wedges. I had purchased a Shorty Roulette set earlier this year. This is my first attempt of this sort of club work. From a distance they look pretty darn good. Upon closer inspection one can seen the imperfections . The real test will come when I can hit them again to see if the heads stay on. . But it’s currently 23 degrees and snowing Central New York.

Nice work, what method did you use to turn down the ferrules?

Thanks! I used some 220 grit sand paper, I didn’t have an emory cloth, and turned them by hand. Then I wiped them with acetone. I need to get some car wax on them though to give them a nice shine. @McGolf recently posted a great video that covered hand turning ferrules. That was the final push to encourage me to try this little project. Watching Jim build clubs makes it look so easy. My attempt was a bit sloppier. I used a lot more wipes to clean the epoxy overflow.  I’m going to regrip them as soon as I find some Golf Pride Z Grip Patriot grips. They are out of stock everywhere.

Nice work.  I've done a few clubs and turning ferrules does seem to be an art and I never quite get it right.

Added P790 AW -1 flat w/ steelfiber 95i cw regular flex.  I already have a GBX2 at the same loft.  Trying to decide which one to keep in the bag.  The old "set matching GW" vs "Specialty GW"

I realize this isn't Golf Pride but I've got some of this brands grips on my practice irons and they're great! I'm convinced they use the exact compound mix and possibly even come out of the same factory as the GP's but just have a different name stamped on them. For $45 on Amazon you get everything shown here. It's a hell of a deal. 

Plus you can just turn the logo down and nobody would reall know the difference unless they looked really close at the pattern.

I've never been able to get that professional look by hand. It ends up looking fine, but not perfect.

But now that I have a 42" belt sander with a cloth belt, now its much easier to turn down ferrules and looks much better.

Someday, I’m slowly building my repair skills and tools. A vise is next to make  re-gripping easier. I want to get more comfortable with the basics. I can see this becoming an addiction. LOL Shaft puller, loft and lie machine…

Merry Christmas all.  Won an ebay auction for a 699pro 639 cb set this morning.  Shafts are wrong... So that necessitated an order from golf works. 

Then I opened up my SIL present which was a stitch golf gift card... A big one.  So Combined with a discount code I've got an SL2 on the way for $60.    I better put my phone down before I break myself...

A bit of an upgrade for my putter. A new cover from the fine folks at Random Golf Club. Nice feel to it and love the magnetic closure.

... I have never been a fan of most aftermarket premium head covers as you might as well put a sign on your bag "Steal Me!"  That said, yours looks awesome and has nothing on it the average thief would want to steal so good for you.

Gotta think about that one.

... Mostly Scotty Cameron after market head covers. But any kind of nice head cover can disappear with the putter inside especially on public ranges, at least in Chicago and LA.

Just ordered this bad boy and will soon be joining the ranks of the push cart mafia. 

My wife is suggesting I name it Johnny 5.

Nice.  Walking is the way to go.  Helps me focus.

I'm going it'll help me in that regard, too. Plus, the exercise will be good for me.

You’ll be happy with it I’m sure.  Good exercise and if you’re like me able to focus on the next shot when walking to the ball.

Have fun!!

I love my pushcart. It’s the single best golf “accessory” I own.

Yep and it happens too down here especially at the Tourist themed courses. 

[MattF]

Took a punt on a 3 wood replacement just because. Ordered a @GolfSub70 949X Pro 2 hybrid with an EvenFlow Riptide 6.0 shaft. Then I jumped over to Snell and grabbed 3 dozen MTB Black's.

[Jmikecpa]

As I close out my membership in NY I had a large unspent food minimum that I was allowed to spend in the pro shop. Ordered a new putter for my daughter and I got 10 dozen balls. Happy late Christmas to me.  

[cksurfdude]

Bought two dozen more MaxFli Tour CG a few days ago with that MGS40OFF code .. nice deal!! And decided I'm over my driver phobia and picked up a Bertha B21 off Callaway Pre-Owned with a Recoil ESX in it (seems to work for me) ... looking forward to launching balls off the tee next season!  

Plus took advantage of a 50% flash sale at LinkSoul to pick up some quality soft goods at decent prices.
