TS1 and TS1-IM 6 irons are drying. Recoil 110 in TS1 and Rapid Taper 105 in TS1-IM. Also glued up a KE4 Tour 5h with NV105 shaft. I want to like this head, but maybe it needs a steel shaft? We'll see.

    Finished up the Taylormade I bought to try some custom work on. Did just okay on this one, a little sloppy on the insert work for sure. Time to set it free/get someone to buy it on Marketplace 😂

    Typhoon Damn that IM looks nice

    It's a beauty IMO. Don't tell people it's Maltby and they might assume it's the new TM P770 or maybe some new DTC golf club. Feels good too. I think the TS1 and TS2 are a bit harsh feeling and maybe needed some of TM's Speedfoam, but the TS1-IM is nice. TS3 is sweet as well. I might build a set of one of them this winter.

      9 days later

      Exotics c721 5 wood, GD G series red stiff. I don't know if I can wait until next year to hit this, but a lot of courses are closing even though the temps are in the mid 70s this week.

        Rainy day!!! Spine alligned the shafts on my hybrids and took my playing irons apart and replaced the 7gr lead weights with 3gr ones and 2"- 4gr nitrile-butadiene-rubber dowels (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003913053848.html) for vibration damping. There should be no rain tomorrow afternoon, so I'll be able to test those out.

        Also made 2 faiway woods as a X-mas present for my GF (I-Drive tour lite shafts).

        Still rainy days: rebuild my old trusty belly putter that I cut down years ago to normal lenght but was way to heavy (400gr head) to game. New shaft @42" and new 17" grip. In order to adjust the loft to armlock specs I transformed the in-hosel design into a 6.5° forward slanted over-hosel design by means of a small piece of Alu tubing + a tiny piece of shaft glued into the hosel.

        The final build next to my normal putter both sitting flat on the ground; the forward slant of the armlock is obvious. That putter in belly configuration had a slight toe hang, but with the forward bend hosel it's face balanced now. Feels quit natural tested on my balcony putting green, could become a gamer.

          DonM I think that if I could find the right armlock for me

          What I did different then what is mentionned in guides and youtube videos to convert a belly into an armlock, is that I measured the required angle the shaft needed to slant in order to press my left forearm. I did put the putter centered in belly position with the shaft vertical and measured the space between the butt end and my forarm when gripped normaly. That was 4.5". The putter being 42", I did the measurement at 41" and that gives arctan(4.5/41) = 6.26°; I did bend the alu hossel by hand and measured with a protractor it being 6.5°, close enough. With the putter head having a loft of 3° that gives a dynamic loft of 9.5°, quit a lot more then the 6-7° that is most commonly stated. Maybe this is the reason the putter feels so natural: having the ball centered in my stands the putter head sits flat and my whole body, arms,... etc are in exactly the same position as with a normal putter, only the wrists have a slight forward press.

              Going to be more of a tomorrow project.
              I get to build myself 3 wedges with steel shafts.

              I really just need to figure out which ferrules I like best. I'm leaning towards the ones with the single silver stripe...

              @LogicalOne thank you!!!
