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.

    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.
    I’m THIS close to taking the tip off my Paderson. It’s 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.

    Might build something later tonight.
    Just for @Spuzz ....................😉

    Got the 3-PW of both sets. Not sure which ones will get the DTG Electric shafts.

      My approach started with measuring the COG on the face and marking it, as well as using a black sharpie to trace out the sole grind, face shape and other details I wanted. Then the grinding steps were:

      • Sole first, for me this involved also getting the flat profile for the bottom of the face ground in as well
      • Edges of head to get desired shape
      • Hosel, done while turning the whole head. At this point have to measure the weight of the head to see how much work is left. Usually at this point I had 10g left to go.
      • Rest of design as marked out - I got creative and used the edge of the belt & wheel to get the details on the back cut in.

      Grinding was done with 60 grit first, then red (course) surface condition belt, followed by blue (fine) surface belt. All of this was done on a 2" by 48" belt grinder attachment bolted to an older 3/4HP grinder. If I had to do it again I'd use 120 grit after the 60 grit before going to the belts, as some deeper scratches weren't totally eliminated by the belts.

      Face dots were done using a straight edge and a utility knife to add a faint line where I wanted them, then center punched and drilled by hand.

        CallMeAl Oh that’s an awesome club… I can feel the lag and power now!! I got dibs after Papa D!.. it looked like my G400max/Paderson Velocity
