Doing some disassembly. Bought a PXG Gen 4 driver head / Fuji Ventus TR 5S shaft from a guy on another forum.
Got it yesterday, and somebody funny did the assembly....put a 1" ferrule on top of the adapter. So, cut off the ferrule today and it looks like it was covering up over-aggressive tip prep. Driver comes out to 45", and the tip probably needs 1.25" trimmed to get over the cosmetic issues. Not sure what I am going to do there.
No complaints about the seller though. Said he bought it from Grips4Less. They used an aftermarket adapter, and the adapter even has some significant scratches on it. I told him I'd just send it all back to him (he even sent the club without payment and said I could pay after inspection). He said fine on the return, and then said, nah, just keep it for the trouble. So I countered with paying for the head, and we'll settle up on the shaft once I see what I can do with it.
The shaft has a Grip Pride CPX midsize grip - and man I think this may be the worst feeling grip that I have ever gripped. That thing is just awful. Slippery, feels like it is moving in your hands. Just plain awful.
