Honestly I thought about you looking at Pings.
Not sure what I’m thinking about going after. Whatever it will end up being may involve me reshafting.

Yes I will post pics later, especially of the 551 Japan white head and white shaft. That shaft is a now discontinued one from HOF. It’s actually logoed The White Shaft, black and white logo.

Put these together this weekend. Working on a set of PTMs with Recoil shafts, but I'm waiting for tip weights to finish those.

I love my Maltby wedges...! I've been playing the M Series just like these, but with the 52 - 56 - 60*. I saved par a couple of times today with the 56, which is my favorite..... I have two year old Vokeys sitting in the garage collecting dust, b/c they just don't perform as well (for me) as my Maltbys!

BTW, there's been a change in my bag since my March entry...... Here's my current setup.....

Driver: Integra 450 Beta Titanium.....an oldie, but it still beats everything else I've tried.
7 wood: Orlimar Trimetal +......20.....my favorite club.
9 wood: Orlimar Trimetal II......23
5 hybrid: Maltby KE4.................24
Ping Rapture V2 irons.........6-7-8-9-PW (also have the 4 and 5, but used the shafts to soft-step the rest of the set)
Maltby M-series wedges.....52 - 56 - 60
Putter.........Odyssey Rossie II

Yep, love those M+ wedges. I've been playing 56(mid) and 62(wide) for a while now. Really like the 56, and the 62 is great for chipping but pretty risky elsewhere. Thought I'd try a 54(tour) and 60(mid) this time. (edited for autobold correction). And I don't have to add 20 grams of tip weight to get to a normal SW.

Love mine, too. Been playing 52 and 56 for awhile. They seem to be popular in these parts.

Latest with Top Flite Tours in the bag.

Adding a King Cobra LTD today. Now the top of my bag is all Cobra with the BioCell + 3 Wood and BioCell 3 Hybrid.

And the set of PTMs/Recoils

are ready.

Those look super!

Yep, very pretty. Did not stop me from stopping at the range on the way into work today, and then going back to the range during lunch break. Now.....what should I do on the way home today?

MidwayJ

Sparky
LOL. I wouldn't be stopping at the range. I don't have that many swings in a day!

Sparky

And let's review the OCD clubmaking steps:
1. weight club heads and grips
2. estimate swing weights per MyOstrich spreadsheet
3. tip trim Recoils, prep tips
4. insert tip weight into each shaft (no epoxy)
5. put heads on shafts (no epoxy), cut shafts to desired lengths
6. put test grip on (old grip cut down side for easy removal), measure swingweight of dry fit club, recalculate tip weights needed to desired swingweight
7. install grips
8. measure club length & SW with 0 tip weight, and with 5g tip weight. Recalculate desired tip weights
9. Open up box o' tip weights, find weights to match desired specs.
10. Dry fit final tip weights into shafts, dry fit head, last check of swingweight
11. Epoxy those suckers into place
12. Make holes-in-one
Haven't finished #12 yet.

Sparky Too much work.

Don't know why, but I picked up this guy with etched "Tour Issue" Matrix Dues 7X shaft.
