No Brainer Aesthetics Opinion

What say the Golf Buzzers. I have a friend who is a big Oregon State fan. I am messing around with an orange No Brainer I just picked up with some stripe o...

I will let my buddy know that with the added vinyl all warranties and playability guarantees are null and void. He did opt for the one black stripe so could you redo your calculations with half of the added weight from your previous assessment.😁

put the one black stripe to the rear! If it’s in the front the center of gravity will shift forward too much!!!

Mattyv OK.....I RE-measured the specs and it worked out perfect in your favor! A 2nd look always works in favor of the buyer, seller and whatever else they want to hear.

colej no sweat as the white vinyl tape weighs less than the black tape. It a lighter color therefore it weighs less! Go ahead google it. LOL

All about the black/black. The white/black looks like the Cleveland Browns. White/White isn't Oregon State.

Once you go black, you shouldn't go back.

I don't know how to tell you...that is an Oklahoma State driver head!

If it matters using tape might be a rules violation. I remember a discussion on FGI about using pin striping tape for a putter alignment aid and someone said it was a rules violation. You can paint stuff on but can't add anything that can be removed during a round. I don't know how this is different from lead tape but might be worth checking out if it matters.

Not an issue, this club will never be played in a competitive round by the person buying it.

The USGA on this subject takes this issue case by case. Trust me on this. You have no idea how many minutes on telephone calls and letters back and forth I made. And it all centers around lead tape and those company stickers in the cavity of the golf club. (You remember those stickers that kept coming off your clubs eventually). With the original NB they couldn't do a good job painting the stripes as it was very sloppy. So I suggested they use a tape of some sort. The USGA nixed that as a alighnment aid. So back to the paint. I offered the foundry extra $ to get it right and Voila they finally did. It was a simple wooden paint aid of some sort but it worked! SMT also had a.big problem with his 455 Plus head with custom logo stickers that some of you probably remember? I can't recall the details but maybe one of you can? I think it was because it was too easy to switch stickers or something like that? I told them the Majors stickers are falling out like crazy! The USGA fired back at me, "we are talking about woods here not irons!". Can you believe that reply from them? LOL I said to Carter Rich, "Carter, that's the best you can come up with?". That's when he told me I'll get back with you in 30 minutes. 3 days later Carter called me and said, "We'll rule them on a case by case ruling". Most clubs submitted after that with stickers and tape (lead or otherwise) is legal as long as it wasn't a sightline. Although case by case is still in effect.

Geekoman The DB+ had a spot for a guitar pick to be glued on, page down to Landon's post to see-

IIRC, Mike wanted to use magnets at first, making them interchangeable, which was nixed.
Then there was an issue with the actual glue being used (not sticky enough at first)
I think the end result was some 3M glue that is stuck there forever, so you had to choose which sticker you wanted carefully. I chose black btw.

Didn’t your idea have to do with the paint on a Camaro SS?

Black/white and orange is bit too busy

So my buddy finally got out to play and hit the Orange with 1 Black and 1 white strip No Brainer. He is a Big and Tall guy and plays very upright. I built the club to 48" long with stiff shaft even though he has a regular swing speed. I figured the extra lenght would counter act the stiffness of the shaft. Holy shit was he bombing this thing. He was hitting farther and straighter than I have seen in 15 years of playing golf with him. He was very happy as it was his first round with the club. The guy has never been a threat to pick up a LD bet on a par 5 and today he picked up 3 of them! Mainly becuase I couldn't find the fairway if my life depended on it, but he was only hitting it 10 to 20 yards shorter than me today when I have in the past routinely hit is 50 to 60 yards past him.

Gotta love it when a plan come together.
