What did you build today?
You guys know I'm right here reading all this, right?
sdandrea1 Heck Yeah! PEDs work! That is why they are outlawed in pro sports.
Last Tee Pharmalogical research team in China has seen great promise in PEDs to enhance the performance of Senior golfers. At our top secret testing facility in in Xinjiang province, we have several test subjects with smash factors over 1.50, improved continence, and enhanced erectile performance.

Repaired the broken Recoil mystery shaft (440 F3???) of a Big Bertha Fusion by installing a Prolaunch Blue 45R.
Not a build, but a deconstruct. Pulled the Zing heads (which are going back to @sdandrea1 in what amounted to a $15 1 year rental). Used Steve’s recommended BKF scrub to remove any hosel discoloration.
Have the shafts ready and waiting for my 2016 Gs that are coming this weekend. I’ll have to pull them too. Once re-shafted, these will go back to Ping for L/L as I’m moving them from black to green dot. I’m considering weakening them a degree or two as well but they’ve already got plenty of bounce.
Reshafted a Mavrik max that had a Project x evenflow green 55 6.0 in it with a UST gold 55 S; Looks like broken Callaway drivers are in season at the moment.
I build shit everyday just to try…. Then unscrew it.
Today was my final iron shaft test. I went old school Project x 5.5. Same as everything else.
Hit the Stealth Plus driver head on the Ventus Red Velocore. Good shaft but the carbon face on the driver gives a smooth feedback no matter what. Also hit my GD DI6 that I extended an inch using toilet hardware. Felt better and worked better than the Velocore.
End of the day… I have 3 shafts for the Stealth Plus that all go the same and feel the same…

Replaced the TM adapter on my V2 Tour Flight shaft. It's not dead yet.

This week it’s been lots of stuffs I’ve built! Lol It’s been so much fun!
Nothing beats doing what you love and getting paid to do it! Congrats Kelly!
colej Thank you Jeff!
Not Built, but refinished/touched up a Tommy Armour Impact 3 putter.
Love the grip
Par4QC I've used graphite in irons a lot the past 30 years. It just depends on what the shaft profile is like. I used to have some that were 110g, and they are still the best I've ever used. But, that comparison is made from age 50 to now, even though I've never been that long with irons; 6i was my 'go to' perfect 150. Now, no iron goes that far.
The only set of graphite I have now are the newer Recoil Dart 75. Very nice, and much better than the older Recoil. I am playing steel currently though.
Admittedly, I've only used graphite iron shafts for the looks, mainly. No wrist, elbow, shoulder troubles.
So Rex, let me pick what’s left of you brain since you build sets of irons every day amd a half.
I know it’s a month after I talked about the MMT 105s. I hit it outside alongside a few steel shafts . The MMT looked like a winner in the air. When I went back to Trackman though, it spun 1000 rpm’s more than the others and I lost 7 yards of carry.
I like the feel of a slightly heavier shaft amd I don’t lose any ball speed. Trackman showed me that. The project x 5.5 at 115 grams was good too. The MMT 105 also comes in TX at 113 grams.
My question for you is how would a double softstep on the TX be? The shafts do play stiff which is why I’m thinking double. I just like the weight.
And there is a lot of talk about the shafts being “tip heavy”, which makes them swingweight high. Maybe that’s why they felt flimsy to me… too much head feel. The swingweight issue I could solve with going 1/4” shorter and the 3 grips under the grip.
