Provisional That “fun” is why I stopped building clubs and sold most of my equipment. I couldn’t just build a set and enjoy it, oh no, I had to make everything “perfect”. I would spend an entire day laying out sets, then sell them for $65 here, ya know, back when Steve was offering more than $12 shipped.
It was stupid, I now go with the slightly better than cut and glue approach because what I found is it never actually mattered on the course. Fitting is a science, but also an art, which means no matter how perfect they may be, there is still a good chance you painted with the wrong damn brush anyway. I still take the time to weigh things out, match sets up as well as possible, but I can knock a set out in 2 hours, when I have the tools laid out. The end results are just as good once you go hit them, those few grams and millimeters of trimming I would worry about don’t honestly translate to much at all. Essentially, I make sure things aren’t crazy off spec and compensate for variance as well as reasonably possible, then I go play golf, end of the day, that’s what we are trying to accomplish. If I ever feel I need another absolutely perfect set, I’ll pay someone to go through the hassle haha.
I’m going Pinhawks with some slight modification for next season, but the beautiful part is, I’ll just pay Value Golf to do all the hard work and I’ll basically just glue them.
