Just helped my brother extend and regrip his clubs yesterday. These CPX grips sure are nice! I put fresh grips on mine a month ago but I’m tempted to switch to theses.

Not necessarily a build, but more modifications to my Odyssey Big Seven armlock putter. Switched out the grip to a Garsen, blacked out the alignment/logos, and switched out the insert for a copper one! Only had the one before picture.

Nice! Glad to see I'm not the only one doing modifications to the strokelab putters! Altho mine is simply reshafting and building another new one with the leftover head.

Switching out the insert was pretty easy and am way happier with how it feels. Shoutout to spryevo.com for the insert, Charles is a great guy and his inserts are $$$

Great thread, I hp[e it takes off and has page after page of post.

I said I was going to post it and will fully admit it is not the cleanest of builds, but as he is only 16 months old and just wanted him to have something fun to try and use it will do the trick. Plus it looks freaking cool. 

So I am experimenting with my own putter and I took a Cobra Vintage fanged putter and put my strokelab shaft in it. This meant I had the Strokelab 7 head just sitting there (cobra shaft did not have the right lie angle). So I took a hybrid shaft which was damaged in shipping. Cut it down and had to built up the hosel a bit to fit snug before epoxying together. Had a decent amount squeeze out, but as  it isnt a perfect fit I am going to leave it be (hence as I said not the cleanest look or build). However it will work for him and yes if he struggles I will make him a RH putter... for all those who are going to jump on me for that lol

Also put new ferrules on the P790s - Those photos incoming
Took the titleist adaptor off the Fuji shaft I was using and put the Ping on (first round was decent)
Regripping the P790 tomorrow

And more! Lots of projects going on. 

Oh and here is the Cobra Putter with Storkelab shaft

So cool! I always see toddlers with Drivers, love to see a putter in hand. I think it looks really good, almost has a welded neck look.... very boutique lol

I can see myself posting in here a bit

Latest build, actually for me, Mizuno JPX 923 Tour irons and Vokey SM9 wedges. Mitsubishi MMT 105 stiff shafts (1 inch long), BB&F Co ferrules. Feel as good as they look!

Love the ferrules!

Started building clubs using Golfsmith by attending their week long club building course at the Golfsmith headquarters in Texas.  Nothing but golf building techniques and know how , 8 hours a day for a week.  It was very informative and fantastic.  Then built clubs using Tom Wishon’s clubs until he sold his business.  Continue to do my own grips and periodically reshaft clubs.  Recently added shaft extensions for a set of irons for my very tall grandson.

Recently flipped my old driver for a stand bag, this Ping Anser 3 and cash. The putter was quite oxidized so I used Flitz metal polish and brought the Bronze back to damn near new. Also did a custom paint fill (USA) and repainted the sight line as well. Came out great. Slapped a new Ping man grip on it and now GTG. Plays at 35 1/2" and is like swinging Thors hammer. I did not weigh the head before reshafting, but I would have to guess it's at least 350g to possibly 365g. The ball really pops off the face well. Love it.

I have been looking into their 101T or 201 set. How are they?

Looks really good! There's nothing like a putter with a smooth or really light milling on the face

Torden Golf -- I'm pretty impressed with how nice the ferrules look on your set.  I make clubs and struggle to finsih the ferrules, so much so, that I leave them unfinished much of the time.  I use a 32" in belt sander with a linen belt but is takes the ferrule down way too fast, so I just leave them unturned.  A 42" inch belt sander is said to be better for this job but is hard to find, except for Maltby Golf Works, and even then they are expensive as heck for a hobbiest.  Oh well, I just wanted to say how impressed I was with your job.

It's not going to replace my GoLo S anytime soon haha. But, it's a fun club to mess around with on my putting matt.  I actually have it up for sale RN.

Thanks very much or the compliment, much appreciated. I do have a 42 inch belt machine, and I guess that just does make it go that bit slower. I also have used the white linen belts and they turn the ferrule down very fast. And also found that little frayed bits form and actually leave a “strike” on the ferrule as well.

I actually use a firm linen belt, just purchased from GolfWorks, and for me I find that to work best. Then a bit of acetone to make them shine.

So if you had the white linen belt I would definitely recommend trying the firm one: https://www.golfworks.com/durabrite-felt-ferrule-turning-belt/p/gm1083/

They have been great so far.  I was playing TM M6 that I was fitted for, but these things beautiful.  Very simple look.  Just as forgiving and I feel like Im getting a bit more distance, but just getting started with them.  I am not gaming the 4i.  I hit is too low.  Sticking with the 4H.
