Par4QC You'll need neither, as it has turned out a few minutes ago. 👍
No idea why I used blokes instead of wankers.

Nutters and Twats is acceptable as well.

DonM JumboMax Ultralite standard jumbo 35 grams.

Good luck with the JumboMax. I normally use Winn Jumbo grips and I got a JumboMax to try. It felt like holding a summer sausage.

    Not today but over the past couple of weeks...put together hybrid woods and hybrid irons new for 2023 (but released in 2006-2008 excepting the SW which looks to be 2012):


    Shafts and grips continue the mid-2000s theme:

    • Q3U hybrids are iROD 0.335 R-flex shafts soft-stepped
    • 785HF 6-iron is a TX-90 A-flex wood shaft
    • 785HF 7-PW, TE Platinum SW are FST 90 trimmed to A-flex
    • Grips are Sharpro Eon

    These are the first-ever variable length clubs that I've put together as even when I first started back in 2006 I put together DIY SL sets by adding weights to the lower-lofted clubs to get to about 280 grams head weight.

    Collecting the iron hybrids was quite the journey - 7 and PW came from @scotts33, 9 directly from Tom Wishon, and 6, 8, and SW from EBay. I roughly checked the lofts on these and they are pretty spot on to spec.

    Late 2021 built the 7-iron with the FST 90 and 8-iron with an Acculite 75. Trials off and on showed the heavier shaft the clear winner.

    Fast forward to yesterday. Went to the range, started with 9 and PW...terrible. Hosel rockets, thinned shots, etc. After about 8 of those took out the 7-iron...beautiful. Once I concentrated on staying down and through the ball, no more thinned shots and nice high trajectory from each club. Tip trimming on the 6-iron with the TX-90 was a bit of an educated guess but it seems to have been correct. Only issue is fading the 17° hybrid but that's nothing new...have to remember not to try and overpower it.

    Anyways, that's my story and thanks for listening.

      scotts33 Thanks! I did a little digging and see that you sold them to me in October of 2014.

      Took long enough for me to get them in the bag, I'd say. 🤣

        HybridWood Thanks! I did a little digging and see that you sold them to me in October of 2014.

        Yes when we are around long enough heads seem to surface. ☺

        Built a Cleveland Launcher HB 5 wood with my first try of the Vision Plus shaft from DTG. Even being filament wound, it did have planes of wobble and no wobble.

        Built a Pinhawk 5 (25d) Hybrid SL with my usual iron shaft at 37 inches.

        Going from steel to graphite for my Nova Scotia snowbird buddy. Original owner of these G15s (Adams GW). He's 84, and never tried graphite in his irons. Took the original grips off too. These wil be like new clubs for him.

          Typhoon Yeah, that is the nice passive-aggressive way for Canadians to show their hate for Blue. Everybody knows this

          I haven't been hitting the PXG Gen4 XF 5 wood that well so I installed a Fujikura Blur TS65 that I snapped the tip off in an adapter. Installed a new midsize grip on a used Callaway wedge that I purchased from Dan.

          Bravopilot Thought Canadians were anti-Blue

          He's a Bluenoser so I guess he's "all in".
          :/
