After some success with the Adams Pro Mini 26* and UST V2 Hybrid shaft, I shafted up same model head and shaft in the 18* and 23* .... They look tiny at address and I'm a bit worried about the lower lofts but they are getting trimmed and gripped this afternoon!
What did you build today?
Jesse (grandson) has been playing HS golf with 3 Cleveland RTX3 wedges that are 1" shorter than std. I just reshafted them with KBS Wedge shafts, blue aluminum ferrules and black/blue GP Decade. Crappy work space in the basement - temporary folding table, shaft clamp clamped down, bench motor on the floor. I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY SHED!!!! (possibly end of this week).
A little club fixin’ this morning for a retired buddy of mine before I head out to play in the “Battle of the Flightline” (MXG vs Ops) 9-hole scramble this afternoon.
Reshafting his broken PW and also regripping 4 other clubs after shortening the 9 iron a bit to match his set progression.

Been curing for 8 hrs…16 more to go…
Sharp looking DI head…can’t wait to see how it performs
Built a couple of hybrids, Callaway Epic Max Star 3 (17) and 4 (20). Shafts are Tensei AV White 85 S, 40.5" and 40.0", swingweights D4. Going out on maiden voyage this afternoon.

Only on GB do we show pics of our 17* clubs.
Then talk about how badly we putted.
I'll try my new build, Adams Pro DHY 18*, this weekend.
And relate the number of putts used.
BTW.... nice builds fellas.

Well, to be fair, my 17 is pretty much a short-ish 5 wood. I'm not delusional enough to build a 17-18* iron.
JoeHatesSnow Yeah, I built mine at 41.5 just so I wouldn't get called out on using trying a 3i.

I'm just jealous because I'd be afraid of an iron that low lofted.

Nawww…you could hit it…it’s just a new PXG Black Ops 4 iron bent a tad bit strong…
Have a chance to hit this yet?
azgreg Have a chance to hit this yet?
Not yet…the past two days have been a blur with traveling for kiddos sports.
Plan is to head down to the range and give it a session later today after I get some yard work completed…
I'm still trying to get the top of my bag settled.
Black Ops has the driver spot. TA Atomic 3w is set.
Then I have an Atomic 5w. I hit the 3w great, and the 5w sucks. It can go 160, it can go 200.
Then I have an old TM Rescue Mid 22. I hit it well, but distance is the same as my 5 iron (24).
So, I shafted up the old Maltby TS2 4i (21) and bought a PXG 17 hybrid. Let's see if those fill the gaps better.
Got to have a hybrid in there somewhere, as the home course has kikuyu grass and the hybrid roll is required.
