JbcobbIII 56 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I am beginning to customize then build my Ft. Worth 15s. I got a great deal on these. They were new/never hit! I removed the original paint fill and am going to repaint them. I bought Red and Blue Lamkin UTx grips and custom ferrules from Cell-parts.net. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JbcobbIII 56 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 I hope so. Finding the 55* TK wedge was like a needle in a haystack. Going to put Nippon Modus shafts in them. Not sure if it will be the 105, 120, or 125 Stiff or X-Stiff. Will figure that out when I get fitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JbcobbIII 56 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Yeah, I looked at them before I ordered the white ones. Thought about getting the “Nantucket Glory” ferrules but for the extra expense, I didn’t love them. Plus, I am going with a red, white, and blue theme with my bag, clubs, head covers, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, might go FTW Hi in the 31* as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How do you go about finding the right shaft for these heads at a fitter? I am considering getting a fitting to evaluate the C-Tapers in my PTx's, but I don't understand how they can evaluate the right shaft for my heads without a head to try multiple shafts in.

Two choices...demo the shaft in a very similar iron head and then choose from there or the fitter will have to install/uninstall the different shafts in your clubs as you test using quick set epoxy. I found the PTX to be very similar to the Mizuno JPX 919 Forged/Tour irons. You could use them as a stand in head and then install those shafts in your PTXs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had my daughter in my profile picture baptised at this big Catholic church in Schenectady, where all my wife's family was baptised. Went to great escape.
