A lot of you know Im the artist for Geek Golf, and lately a spokesman. I’ve been sick and inactive for 3 months, but there’s things in the works that I wante...

I know it’s been discussed. If Geek brings in any LH NBs, could they do it with just 1 color? Orange is the biggest seller, but gray sells very well.

I Would’ve thought the grey been the better seller.

I'd prefer the gray, but if orange was the only thing avail, I'd probably jump on it.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away at FGI, I was online late one Friday night. There was not much activity going on other than a few rum and cokes at my computer. Almodillhole was also online and apparently was either bored or "into his cups" and decided to run one of his spur of the moment free contests. This one was for a free FS1 which were new at the time.
The contest format was ten music questions (of course) of varying degrees of difficulty. The first person to post all ten correct answers was declared the winner.The best part of the contest was Steve would immediately tell each person that posted what answer was incorrect. It took me little time to figure out that if I waited long enough and started my post (without sending it) somebody was likely to answer the one question I didn't know the answer to but miss one or two that I did know and if I was fast enough at typing, I would win. Well, that someone was the FGI asshole Rick B. who provided the answer and I posted and won it.
The funny thing is, I disliked the FS1. The colour didn't go with any shafts and the Star Trek Worf ridges on the crown were a turnoff as well but I gladly accepted it from Steve with the satisfaction that Rick B. was shut out.
Candukid got that head from me for free.
That's my favourite Geek story for ya.
🙂

PS. I liked the DCT enough that I got one for a bi-sexual friend who didn't mind the closeted blue hidden in the paint.

😂 good times

Star Trek Worf ridges...need to tell Steve that one.😂

Tell us how you really feel about blue, don’t hold back 😄. Is it all shades of blue or just specific ones?

Ahh, the infamous Rick B. Wonder what ever happened to him. He was an even bigger A-hole on GEA, then he started his own forum and was all cute and fuzzy. I've heard he posted on GEA for awhile under another name. Maybe he still does.

He's polargolfer on GEA. With the same endearing persona. 😁

I once made the mistake of posting on FGI that I thought the NoBrainer looked like the then current Krank driver and Steve sent me a scathing email. Then he sent me another apologizing and giving me the whole story behind the NB. This was before it came out. Good times!

Man, I can remember some real FGI knock down, drag out threads with Almo, Tait, and Baucom involved. The SMT Nemmy "Kazoo" was a dandy.

I remember that! Yeah it’s because Steve added stripes on the crown of the NB and one Krank Head had stripes.

Good times 😂

The NB, it seem like it was close to 2 years when Steve and I started on it total before it was finally released. I was working on concept artwork that early, and the all black prototype.......I had it for a year before the final production model was available.

My first head showed up today. 😀 I’ll shaft it tonight but not sure when I’ll get to hit it.

cpanther1995 I don't know how many here ever tried the Floyd; I did. It was a nice enough head, looks, weight, and all, but damn would that thing launch the ball a mile high! Not saying a lot of distance was lost, it just put those balls into orbit. They did come down eventually, generally in the fw. Might be worth the try for those that want to, but are afraid because they play much higher lofts, like 12 or 14.

I never spent much time with the Floyd. I owned one, and remember how I liked the sound. What shaft did you use with it?

I would agree, I have the floyd and it launched high. In my experience, the 10.5 NB launched lower than the 9 deg Floyd. I think I should shaft up my Floyd, just about to order some grafalloy blues that are on sale at golfworks- seems like a perfect match!

cpanther1995 Whiteshaft, naturally. R flex.

colej

Just got back from the range and my initial impressions are very good 😀 very solid head that sounds good as well.

Rickochet

colej very solid head that sounds good as well.

Which head?

colej

Rickochet

No brainer 9* grey head

Wonder if a NV or a RIP Alpha would tame the Floyd better?
OR the Accuflex Evolution. It’s tip stiff and plays stiff to flex.

Steve Almo kept me on a steady Aldila diet, first golf shaft I think of 🤣

There are great choices with HOF and even with Pro Series Accuflex. Accuflex is much better than some people believe it to be.

I put a Matrix 60 MFS black tie in my no brainer. Pretty stout low spin shaft. Great price too!

I'd imagine anything tip stiff would be good. I can't stand to swing that type shaft, esp. now with a few more years on me.
