Case in point from my earlier post, I bought two more putters from a local used sporting goods shop. Taylormade TM-180 and a Titleist Dead Center. What am I gonna do? Refinish them and sell! 😂

    Refinished a Louisville Classic 50's persimmon 10.5 deg. driver on a True Temper DynaLite "R" 43 5/8" D-0 swing weight with a new Star Sidewinder std. grip 48.3g. It goes 2794 kg-cm ^ 2 (toe down) perfect MoI heft match for myself). It was C-8 with an old Golf Pride SwingRite Mid-Size grip 55.2g. Goes to show you swing weight means nothing. Great center impact and sound of the persimmon click is outstanding with a 2021 Callaway Super Soft ball. At my senior slow driver SS it yields basic same distance as a 45" modern steel head. Teed down lower running ball flight small baby draw great gear effect.

    ALL American club!!! 🇺🇸 American persimmon head, American manufactured shaft, American manufactured grip. American fit/built! 😃

    It matches my Louisville Classic 50's USAForged irons. 🇺🇸

    And Louisville Elmore Just PCS persimmon mallet putter. 🇺🇸

      Wow.....a beauty.....So is the putter !!!

        KE4 Tour TC 4w on a Wishon s2s White Hybrid shaft R flex .... I've wanted to try this particular shaft in a fwy wood for quite some time and this seems to be a good head to do just that. Been using the e8 beta 4w for a ~ month and I think it's pretty clear a 4w is more suitable for my game vs. a 3w.

          ode Total weight 497g, 34 7/8", std. sized Pure grip. It's face balanced actually sits what appears to be slightly open but a good hand path/face path yields very straight rolling putts. Sound/feel is better than any putter that I have used.

            ode month and I think it's pretty clear a 4w is more suitable for my game vs. a 3w.

            I’ve improved my iron play this year, hitting down more on the ball…and my formerly decent sweepy 3w play has gone to crap! I’m thinking of trying a 5w, lofted down to open it up.

                Jelopster I'm a bit steep and a low ball hitter. 3w off a peg is just fine.but sketchy off the turf. When I catch the 4w it flies quite a bit higher and ends up similarly to where the 3w would have off the turf it's.no contest the 4w is better!

                    ode I don't think I lost any distance moving to a 4 wood. I still hit that fw wood further than some of my friend's driver tee shots.

                        backinit I played these today. I'm not sure what I think about the combo. It wasn't love at first sight. The performance is fine, but the feel of these wedges is unique. I'm not sure if it's the heads the shafts or both.

                          backinit Shafts probably. They are unique for sure. The heads sure do generate a lot of spin though. Not sure if that has been your experience, but that has been mine. Keep playing them and report back if it gets better.

                              toraider I hit the lob wedge some. One time in particular was about a 40 yard shot to a green that was elevated about 10 feet or so from where the ball was at rest. After I hit the shot I was concerned that the ball was going to be way long, but it was only about 4 feet past the hole.

                                  New putter head came in, and after two hours of hand sanding and a torch job it turns out the overseas service I used botched the CNC work and covered it up with what appears to be brazing 🤨 shows up in two spots where the fillet is wrong... time to complain and start giving my business to somebody local.

                                  backinit After I hit the shot I was concerned that the ball was going to be way long, but it was only about 4 feet past the hole.

                                  Gotta love these spin machines! The face milling is unreal. They remind me of the old Reid Lockharts wedges! Loved those too!
