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.

                      HybridWood Those shafts have been hanging around a few online retailers for awhile. I suspect that they are like an NV with a softer tip, maybe a NVS. Do you like them?

                          backinit I would agree with NVS-like. They do have a softer tip like the NVS. So far I am pleased with the results based on range testing with the 27° and a split grip. Hope to take the completed clubs to the range today but with 90°+ temps we'll see.
