sdandrea1 And you will take it out, putt like shit, or putt well, then move on(more than likely). Either way, the fun part was had. And most people do not understand that, as I do.
Next!!!!!...........

    sdandrea1 Tear Drop side saddle putter. Used iron/wedge shafts epoxied together and split a regular grip for the middle, wrapped in white gauze. 43". Homemade birdie machine!

    Let us know how you do with it. This style of putting has always intrigued me.....seems like it ought to be a no-brainer, esp. from 6 feet on in.

      Another entry in my ongoing series of take and old shaft and jam it in a new adapter series. Don't over look these shafts in both the red and the blue. Cheap and effective.

        Can we name it “Steve’s Long Pole”??

          I built a test 7 iron using the iDrive Tour shaft that’s supposed to be the same as the FGS+. It took a while to find a flo plane, and I had to re-do it at the playing length. Maybe these filament wound shafts don’t have spines, but they still have irregularities.

          I reshafted my XR16 4 wood with the FGS+ electric yellow shaft. Flo-ing is easier on the wood shafts, so far.

            Using a spine finder that I built, I have never, ever, found a graphite shaft without at least 1 spine, even the wound type.
            Just sayin'.....it ain't true what they say.😉

                How could you NOT say, “and that’s no BS”!😂😂

                  KCee What's I've actually found is that FLO'ing a shaft with a less noticeable spine is much more difficult, since the spine itself acts as a somewhat of a stabilizer when trying to find the optimal flex plane.

                    I notice a lot of times the graphics are oriented by the manufacturer so that the 6-12 plane is the softer CPM plane and the 3-9 plane is the firmer plane. I always figured the 3-9 should be the softer plane. But the shaft industry doesn't seem to agree.

                    If you care about it, which orientation do you assemble at for the the harder and softer planes?

                    One thing for sure, shafts have come a long way. It's pretty rare for me to find more than 3 CPM difference around a shaft. I remember when it could be 10. Those were the spiney Type 2 shafts that could be on rails if you got them installed right. Now I feel like you can pretty much just glue and go, graphics up or down. I still like to find the FLO, because I can.
