sdandrea1 Loaned my 5w out to a playing partner today in my Tues group. He it 3 times and smoked it 3 times. Just sold another! Ordering parts now.🙂
sdandrea1 ode He saw my 5w. Next hole he asked to hit it off the turf. Next hole he tees off with it. Next hole he tees off again and says "I want one". I say,"don't u want to know how much?". He says "I dont care....I want one just like yours". I ordered the stuff already with a grip to match the rest of his set. I only charge my cost of parts and shipping. 🙂
raggmann54 sdandrea1 What shaft did you use in yours and what length are you trimming too??? Asking for a friend😉
Rickochet Make sure that you tip trim the shafts for the head weight. I tip trimmed my 3, 5, and 7 as I would for my usual 5 wood head. And FWIW my Pinhawk SL fairways are 43.5" long. 🙃
colej Rickochet Are you really tall Rick? 43” with a heavy head weight they don’t feel like sledgehammers??
sdandrea1 Not my first rodeo, Rick, but thanks for the reminder. 😉 41.5 is the recommended length for these heads and the swingweight comes out just right at that length with the Acer shaft and a "normal" weight grip.

This wasn't directed at you Steve. It was statement made for the general public. For some reason many get screwed up with single length stuff and only think about length and not proper tipping for shaft flex. Get the flex wrong and it is screwed from the get go.

Get the flex wrong and it is screwed from the get go. Yep, for sure! I think these Pinhawks are the weight of a normal 5 wood head (220g), so tip trim accordingly.
sdandrea1 colej Rick will reply, I'm sure but iirc, he plays all his clubs overlength.......at least I think it's Rick.
Rickochet colej Are you really tall Rick? 43” with a heavy head weight they don’t feel like sledgehammers?? 6' 2" and wear 3x shirts, so not a small dude. Years ago I was building a set of irons for myself and tip trimmed them and glued them in. It was a shaft I hadn't played before and I didn't want to butt trim them without trying them first. They were 2" over standard length and I blew the grips on. As it turned out I really liked the length and that is what I play to this day. 2" over on everything.
