I agree! I had these three saved on their IG, just in the off chance I upgraded irons this year and wanted to spice them up. Sadly, they are already sold out. I wish they'd do more colors like this.

I will note, if you know the name of the ferrule you're wanting and you maybe only need a few, you can send them an email and they may have spare ones laying around. I did that for my wedges.

Big fan of these. They had something similar to the White Lightening and Black Widow but with some copper stripes in them which really popped. But alas, they're gone too. It's almost like they make a batch for IG then don't make more. 😞

I was so glad to see your name on this testing. 
 

Certainly not expecting dynamic gold with black ferrules and tour velvet grips. 😊

Well no pressure here.. 🤣😂

Totally kidding. I will say that I'm definitely going to be pushing my skills more on this build than on anything I've done previously. It'll either be a glorious success or a burning ball of flames.. I'm riding this thing right on the razors edge but totally stoked to do it!

YES those!!!! I'm pretty sure it was that second batch that I was ready to buy and when I went back they were gone. It's a shame.

They are such beauts! I really wish they stocked more. Of course you can request them to make a batch for you, but it's double the price 😭

I did that for my wife's irons last year to get her the Steve Rogers (AKA Captain America) ferrules from BB&F.  It was worth it for her to get clubs she was really happy with.  Whenever we find her iron heads / shafts that fit her a little better this spring / early summer, I'll probably suck it up and buy another batch of those for the next set of her clubs I build, unless she's super happy with something off the shelf and doesn't want them customized.

Good luck, my friend! They were named Marcellus Wallace, if you wanted to see if they had an extra set laying around.

Ok so I'll run a little pole of my own

If I were to incorporate the MGS logo somehow.. which do y'all think I should go with 

One is more classic with some slight changes made, and the other is a bit more modified from the original. 

Please respond with the following emojis 

❤️= Diamond shape

🔥= Circle shape

Are you having to supply your own ferrules and grips? I somehow missed that part.

Are there other companies to choose from?

WITB-Foremost 551's - 3w, 5w, 5-SW (circa 1998), Top Flite 460cc Driver, Adam's 7w, Warrior GW and 60⁰, Odyssey AI-One DB putter.

Just an old newbie golfer, trying to learn and improve 1 club at a time.

No, Toura is supplying both. However, while I will be using the Toura grips for the irons, I needed to rebuild my hastily built wedges anyway and wanted them to match the irons, so I went ahead and sourced some BB&F ferrules to have enough to outfit the entire bag minus the driver, 3W, 3H and putter.

No. Toura is very graciously providing every component for the build.. but they've also given us creative liberties to use and source our own components if we'd like to. The grips and ferrules they've given us are actually quite nice and definitely better than "standard". I think we all just wanna knock our builds out of the park though in attempt to really showcase what's possible with literally a blank canvas.

Congratulations everyone. To those that have never built a club, it's an odd feeling when you hit a ball for the first time with a club that you put together. If it all stays together that feeling turns to satisfaction!

Mine supposedly left New York on Tuesday, so today or tomorrow would be about right.  USPS isn't the greatest at updating Canada Post tracking #s in my experience buying hockey gear from Canada, so it could be today, tomorrow, or 3 weeks from now.  The good thing about being smack in the middle of the Dallas / Fort Worth area is that all of the shipping in the country going east to west along the bottom 1/3 of the country runs either through here or Houston, and more of it through Dallas because we get a lot of north to south traffic that turns west here too...so that should mean I get the packages by tomorrow evening at the latest.

Fortunately, other than one time with some old epoxy I didn't mix well, I haven't experienced a catastrophic club head loss...and even then, that was on a mostly empty driving range so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  I do tend to be pretty careful about mixture ratios and saving a little from each batch to monitor the cure rate / status though since then, but that is probably overkill when I also use the DP810NS epoxy that's as close to a bulletproof solution as there is in club building.  That stuff, when properly mixed, is so thick that it stays RIGHT where you put it. Despite being a very aggressive swinger and 6'4" / 215-220ish with a hockey player's swing (that is to say...very fast tempo and inconsistent at times...), I've never lost a head from any of the 4 sets of irons, 4 drivers, 5 fairways, 3 hybrids, and probably 15 wedges I've reshafted / rebuilt since switching to the 3M.

Almost as soon as I posted that, I get this:

Hello ,

Your item is out for delivery on May 2, 2024 at 10:10 am in XXXXXXX, TX XXXXX.

USPS expects to deliver your package today.

Reminder: This item requires a signature for delivery. If you can't sign in person, you can authorize someone else to sign.

 

Needless to say, I sent my son to open the front door and told him to be ready to sign for the boxes when the USPS driver arrives!!!

If only...I just have to rely on the fact that I A) read REALLY REALLY fast, B) type pretty fast, and C) am already far more efficient than anyone else who works around here so my "off" days look like I'm setting land speed records compared to them anyway...
