What did you build today?
I re-shafted my future son-in-law's driver that recently broke. He just took up the game last year and uses a hand me down Adams F11 from his dad. It's an old head but with a new shaft and grip it's now a new driver, lol. He's a big and tall guy so also wanted the driver longer. I extended his irons a few months ago. It's nice to be able to do these little things for him since he's a car guy and has done some work on my Mustang.
Swing Science FC-One Plus driver 14 deg. +.05 FA, 44.50", 2825 kg-cm2 toe down. And finished the FC-One Plus shovel set with a 7i, 33 deg. 37.50", 2684 kg-cm2 toe down both clubs TLT Series #7.
SS FC-One Plus driver.
First 9 with the Swing Science FC-One Plus driver in bag yielded some of the best driving in years. I match up well with the loft with a medium-high tee height and the shaft Swing Science FC-One Plus "A" 65g shaft. The shaft weight is in my go zone. Ultra light shafts in drivers don't give me more distance they lead to hook-push. The slight +.05 face angle is just enough for me personally much less than what one sees on most drivers these days of draw biased or +.1 and more closed face angles. The MoI heft match is about right along with playing length. Straight to slight draw in general no push-slice.

Going hunting for birdies, built me some Heaters.

Imagine the troubles you'd have with my drivers.
46-46.5"
A flex shaft weights of 52-55
Head weights of 204-206g.
If anything goes right(rare) or even left, that is not my club. That was me.
Swing Science has always had good driver heads. Hybrids were nice also.
Things are getting heated in the garage. 1/3 done, although it could use some touchups.... And I might add classic style face punching/drilling next to the grooves if I'm feeling confident. Made from a TourSpec forging.
Acer 7 and 9 woods.
I put a Taylormade Tip on my HOF Express shaft. One of my favorite shafts. Had a tip on there before but the epoxy was bad. The ones I hit, before it twisted, were nice. Look for wars to hitting it.
Iβm THIS close to taking the tip off my Paderson. Itβs a love/hate relationship with that shaft. Unfortunately that relationship pops up during the round. Soft tip and soft handle are not a great mix for me consistency-wise.
