What did you build today?

I'll start. Vertex AW on SK Fiber TT75R shaft. Cleveland Launcher HB 5W on UST 55 Gold R shaft.

Sparky

Finished up some retro Adams builds.
CMB Irons with new Dynalite XP shafts and Royal grips. Put a PX LZ on the GW.
9088UL driver on an Evo Lite at 46"

I now understand why the CMBs are cult favorites. Stunningly nice heads. XP shafts are definite high fliers, but I am still getting distance very close to my Maltby STi2/Aldila NV85 set.

Sparky I have gradually switched over to Adams Value Tech hybrid irons over the last month....Mine are not as classic looking as these CMB's, but they are SO very easy to hit. Now that I'm using them I wonder why Adams
couldn't compete in the market place (except that they were probably paying Tom Watson, Ernie Els, and a few others way too much endorsement money!).

CMB irons are stellar. Adams reminds me of Nike... they finally make a great looking iron and boom... they are gone

Titleist TS1 with Fujikura Pro 56 @ 46".
Trying to regain lost distance...

Experiment went well. According to my PRGR Launch Monitor I got 4-5mph clubhead speed gains on average.

Carry Distance varied (into a stiff wind at the range). But definitely better.

With the Pro Launch (@45") the ball flight was lower with less carry.

The Fujikura (@46") was higher but much better carry! Plus a constant soft draw! (I'm a regular fader of the ball).

We're going on a golf trip next week, so I'll be able to make a better evaluation of this setup afterwards!

Fingers Crossed!!!🤞

Not a big build today but I did regrip my Wishon Sterlings with some Winn Dri-tac Lt grips and put them in da bag for a round tomorrow. I haven't played them since spring but with tight hardpan and the LT grips I hope they will work.

I finally got around to reshafting my old Hireko Powerplay System Q Adrenaline irons. These are the second oldest irons I have. They always seem to end back up in the bag. They are huge oversized thick topline shovels with a mid offset 5 - SW and solid as any head I have ever hit. Not jacked lofts but stronger with GW at 50°. They had some R flex shafts that got a bit too stiff for me and I was going reshaft with some softer steel shafts but got side tracked reshafting with some Fubuki graphites. So now my babies are back in the bag for play tomorrow with some FST 115 Sr. flex with Winn Dri-tac Lt grips.

Rickochet those grips definitely have less taper. Looking good!

Sparky

If any of you builders are looking for deals, Monark has some

OEM Fuji Atmos Black and OEM Tensei CK Orange for $32.
Winn DriTac grips for <$4.

Some other deals under their SALE tab, but that is all I remember for now.

Sparky Fuji Atmos Black

Are those the 44.5" shafts that Hireko and RBG are selling also?

Sparky

Monark has some 44" OEM shafts, but also some are 46".

Sparky

will you get them is the question? Can’t remember if it was hireko or monark that had some huuuuuge shipping delays?

Sparky

colej That was Hireko from what I heard.

Sparky

that’s a good deal on that CK orange shaft.

Sparky

colej Yep, I grabbed a couple of those.

LBlack14

colej that’s a good deal on that CK orange shaft.

They've got 2 different ones. One's $32 (made for Taylormade) and the other is $250, what's the difference?

Sparky

I would’ve thought the blue would be the same price as the orange? The blue shows as $89 for me?

ptjn1201

I just snagged one of the Tensei Orange from Monark, too. That one's a 46". But the blue isn't as cheap, so I'll see how I like the orange.

colej

LBlack14

higher torque on the made for shaft, would be my guess.

here’s the spec for the AV Raw orange from golfworks site

here’s the one from monarks site

CK Orange they show is not the CK Pro Orange.... the expensive $450 shaft. The one they are selling is probably the watered down version you could get with the Ping g410 and Taylormade M5/M6.
