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.

Have it, but have not hit it yet!

Holy shit, you and Lee will be out driving me now.
I may have to update to something newer than 15 years old.
😮

Par4QC

toraider You might have to dial that down if it's 12, like I think it says. migawd, these things launch a ball! I even tried a level swing, instead of a positive AoA, with my 9. Impressive. (now Steve will demo one, 😆)

toraider

Spuzz You'll have to go SMT V2, V2.5 or V3.

Alternatively, I'll just play the SMT455DBs or GC TK1 when I play with you. I'll bring my old school clubs like the Alpha RX Pros too. That should make you comfortable....LOL.

P.S. Also have an Ping G410 Plus to try to play long and lay flat (lie)....

Nah, you guys need all the help you can get.
I tell everyone my biggest handicap is the people I golf with.
😉

toraider

Spuzz I feel the same way...😉

I wonder what might be like with Modern Equipment. Then I think you'll just be the same old Spuzz! 🤣

It's hard to improve on that
LOL

Par4QC level swing, instead of a positive AoA

I cannot execute any of those situations. I'm roughly a -2* AoA guy. So I'll probably hit the 12 like you hit a 9. LOL. 😉

One of the guys I regularly play with has been using one of these Trident (Callaway clone) drivers forever. Outdrives all of us by a mile. His swing makes Ernie Els look spastic....I hate him so much.

"Today" or the past week? 🧐

Built up these Wishon EQ1-NX 5 and 6 hybrids to match my Wishon 770 CFE home-brewed single length 7-AW clubs.

Let's see:
Day 1 - Epoxy up sole weight ports, allow to cure
Day 2 - Add hosel weight port and epoxy shaft, allow to cure
Day 3 - Cut to length
Day 4 - Install grips

Didn't say I was a fast builder, now did I?🤣

Finished gripping up a Cleveland XL 270 draw driver head mated to a TM Aldila RIP Phenom shaft with a Dual Durometer Lite grip to 45" (with these changes the club is 285.8 grams not 270).

Well, I won’t get to hit this like I wanted to, but it’s finding a good home tomorrow (replacing my girlfriends dads Cleveland Launcher he got over a decade ago). Oh, what could’ve been! 😩 Lol 🙂

Walterjn

LogicalOne quick take it to the range 1st!!!
You MUST do quality control procedures to make sure that it is worth of him!!🤣

LogicalOne

Walterjn Lol! Trust me, if I wasn’t still impacted by the neurological disorder/disability, I’d hop in the cart and go! 🙂

Walterjn

LogicalOne well shit, tell him that he owes you a rain check for the quality control...

LogicalOne

Walterjn Great idea! 👍

Finally got around to shafting up my maltby KE4 TC driver and 3 wood - very excited to try these guys. Almost had the potential to go full Maltby in the bag (except the putter) with the TS1's but the wishon sterlings had other ideas. I'm going to hit shitty range balls later but can directly compare against my gamer Mavrik sz and rogue fairway.

I'll post pics later but I must say, these heads look great in person.

shokosugi I played 9 holes with the KE4 TC the other day and was impressed. Very forgiving and just as good as my Rogue. It seemed to have a more penetrating flight and was giving me more roll than the Rogue. Also tried the TS2 6i at the range and I like it, but not sure about the look at address. Need to try the KE4 TC 4 hybrid next.

I put PING G400 SFT adapter on a Cobra driver shaft.

A mixed marriage....

Well, I hope I see the same thing, although I love the Mavrik so it'll be tough to beat. A range session and a few rounds with it and I will see where the KE4 TC stands

the Looks of the TS2 are easy to get over once you put them in play 😎

Haven't done the work yet, but my son broke the attachment bracket for my GPS unit. Think I'm going to epoxy a plastic washer (with part of the ring sticking out above the unit) to the back so I can hook the metal bag attachment snap back on.

shokosugi I haven't tried the Mavrik, but I would put the KE4 up against the Rogue, Epic Flash and G400SFT. I did get to try a SIM2 Max and Epic Max on the launch monitor recently though and they were impressive. Possibly a bit more forgiving with better feel/sound. Didn't really see the yards though and obviously a much higher price point.
