Rickochet I was reading the link. Seems to be a lot to it as far as placement. Especially shoulders and back. It’s a 2 person job and taking it off seems to be a process. Let us know how it goes for real!

    Typhoon Mine came in a roll of 1" x 12" strips. I put some on my shoulder last summer to wear around for the day. They are a pita to put on and having help makes it easier. Your skin has to be squeaky clean or it will come off. I plan to clean the area with alcohol next time with the help of my wife. I have looked everywhere for a thin lightweight compression sleeve for the shoulder but they are all too bulky or restrictive made more for injury recovery than flexible use. Also none come in a 3x. One size fits all never fits. I have some Tommy Copper compression sleeves for my knees that are thin and are wonderful.

    Haven’t built this yet but I’m undecided if I should install a double bend shaft or use my mini slant neck. Currently using a spider with a mini slant neck in it….




      No building technically…but rather “modification”…

      Cut down the Alpha C2 forged / @LogicalOne 85S combo to standard length (37” 7 iron) and made a grip change (wedges included) with some +4 tour velvets instead of Dri-tac 2.0…

      I originally built this set to + 1/2” to try out…but have noticed after a few rounds that it is affecting the lie angle too much for my liking…toe up and too many balls left of target…so I went back to standard length…we’ll see how this change plays out tomorrow morning starting at 10:21 local…may still need to go flat a degree or two but we’ll see…baby steps…

        Like Bob, I modified the VIP irons just a bit.
        Changed out the A flex graphite and installed S flex FST Pro 115 shafts with Lamkin CL grips.
        I had a set of those LogicalOne 85S all ready to go, but the FST caught my eye....and memory. Guess I need more heads.😩

        Usually go with 2 flat but haven't touched these yet. But the only time I did play them they wanted to go left(also like Bob😄). Going to play them again, as is, to see if it was the weak shafts or the lies.

          VigilanteTrail so I went back to standard length

          Yup…good choice…it worked…way less balls left today 👍
          But I did notice just a tad bit loss of distance…but I don’t care about that…I will take the several more center flushed shots

          I bought a 45 gram A flex Aldila Ascent shaft pull for my driver about a month ago, and I liked it so well that I bought a couple of similar pulls, and after measuring the distance (or lack of) of my fairway woods during yesterday's round, I decided it was time to switch out my 7 and 9 woods as well. So, just epoxied them up and set them aside to dry. I hope to get a chance to practice over the weekend, to see how they feel. If they're anything like the driver, I'll
          be a happy camper.....for the rest of the season at least. The next logical step is ladies flex.....in fact, maybe I'll take a couple of my wife's FW woods along to practice just to see.....!!

            fatshot I have the Ascent50, A, in my 5 & 7. $$$ shafts/clubs!
            Strange thing though is I also had it in my 3 but it was horrible. Changed that to a Tensei Blue, A, and it is now $$.

              Left to right:
              Honma XP-1 driver with new aftermarket shaft (LogicalOne Leveler R-flex) to 45"
              Maltby CT-250 FC thriver (note the draw bias) with Matrix Kujoh 75-A shaft to 43"
              Snake Eyes Viper Ti-4 3-wood (extreme draw bias) with Matrix Kujoh 85-A shaft to 40.75"

              The Ti-4 has weights installed in a 12-12-10-1 gram configuration heel-to-toe.

              That shaft combined with my Paradym X driver head is a perfect fit to my swing. It just works.

              My hybrids are Callaway "W" flex. Good fit for me.

                Over the weekend finished off the reworking of my home-brewed single-length Snake Eyes Quick Strike II hybrids with Aldila Trinity F-75 shafts in A-flex (purchased from GlobalGolf RBG; these were apparently originally part of the Callaway RAZR Fit Xtreme fairway wood offering a decade or so ago) and Lamkin Sonar Plus grips. Playing length is 40". These are the 15°, 19°, 23°, and 27°. Also have the 31° but didn't reshaft as my current irons should cover that yardage.
