What did you build today?

I'll start. Vertex AW on SK Fiber TT75R shaft. Cleveland Launcher HB 5W on UST 55 Gold R shaft.

backinit I found another for him. It's lasted a couple years so far, but he's not swinging like he did in the past. Plus, I told him to hit the ball, not the ground. 😄

My first try at making my own leather grip, used a Winn Master Wrap underlisting. Took the old rubber wrap off (it was disintegrating brand new out of the wrapper) and went to town.

Looks kinda bad, feels nice though.

No build, but I did check in with a former FGI guy (and Buzzer) who does, and he's still informative and entertaining.
He was very active in the early days of FGI and was/is very much appreciated by me, and many others.
Nice to see @scotts33 make a surprise appearance too. LOL
@Mcburbn
Check him out on youtube and Mcgolf

I stop by to check in on Jim and Robin. I gave G'Buzz site to Jim so maybe he will stop by?
mcburbn and reddoggolf were two of the early FGI clubmakers along with thewitt that I remember. Others I can faintly remember but don't remember their ID names. Dyno changed his ID a few times. ☺

Maybe @Rickochet can jangle the memory banks?

Those three were very generous and of course dynamiteroll was/is one of a kind.
I don't recall offhand the ID names either. Many had their own shops, IIRC.
Jim answered a lot of my own questions online.
Dyno answered my questions plus other stuff, offline. LOL

Rickochet

Dyno had at least one other ID which was Dynamiteroll. I miss him on the forums. He had a very dry sense of humor and was one funny dude. I only see him here on the what are you listening to thread.
Yo, Percy pop in and say hey.

candukid ohh! Tell me about those grips! They look:

midsized
reduced taper
soft but not squishy
cheaper than GP/Lamkin
sweet!

Hoss7504

Fixed up a new shaft for the Speedzone Xtreme driver (Hzrdus Black Handcrafted) and new shaft for the Rogue 7 wood (Aldila NV 2KXV Blue).

Fingers crossed for good results...

Jelopster wondering the same ....thought they were GP cp2 at first glance.

Amazon purchase. Very reasonable price. Rubber but tacky not very squishy but soft. No reverse taper that I can feel.

scotts33

Rickochet Any others that you can remember Rick from FGI? Both of us being geezers the memory goes.

I wouldn't really call Rory aka BeatFarmer a clubmaker more a purveyor.

I thought of Rory mainly because he was from Pigfart. I tried to remember others but nothing popped up. ☹ I went to the FGI website that is still scrolling final posts. Lots of old names pop up but none I recall as being clubmakers.

I watched funny the dialog between hubby and wife, assuming that's the nature of the relationship!/? ... While sipping on some scotch 🍻🙃

Back in the PCS (Professional Clubmakers Society) days there was quite a group of scotch drinkers. @accufitgolf John do you remember the guys that were scotch aficionado's?

Good to know as they are billed as reduced taper.

【Scientifically Taper Design】The golf club grips adoption grips supply larger lower hand .The reduced taper promote less tension in your hand, and release more power when swing .

Could have a slight reverse taper but I probably can’t tell.

ode

candukid I think the term they are going for is reduced taper. Reverse taper are hard to find. I think feel golf had some and then there was another outfit but I forget the name, but those were really heavy, 100+ grams. It is doable to make a reverse taper out of a unified grip but it takes a serious build up job🙃

Par4QC

A scary driver......Launcher 400 w/Aldila NV Green shaft.

For clowns only.

ode takes a serious build up job

My standard is a Midsize grip with one full wrap and 3 half wraps on lower hand, all with masking tape. Then the thin (think Ping) double sided tape. Gets a nice reduced taper feel

ode Ballbuster grips

ode @Jelopster
They seem to be a reduced taper as advertised. Compared to a Karma grip.

ode Reverse taper are hard to find.

A little late to the party… https://feelgrips.com/en-ca
