Made in USA

All USA made minimalist set up. Bag is a Jones made in Far East no doubt. All the clubs (heads, shafts and grips are USA made) Hard to find clubs these da...

In some cases it would be nearly impossible to make some things here in the US because certain types of manufacturing capability are gone now. I work with a company that makes machines that cut and sew fabric and 40 years ago their machines were all over the US, but 15-20 years ago you would have had a really hard time finding one. A little over 5 years ago they started to be used here again.

OUCH!!

It's a damn shame you that all those made in USA items are so old.

You have it covered Steve to make a all made in USA bag. Ping laminated maple woods, Ping Eye 2 irons and Ping Anser putter. True Temper shafts, PURE or Star grips. Yes?

sdandrea1

My Eye 2 Irons, ZING laminated driver, and PING Jblade putter are all stored in my old red, white and blue PING stand bag. Unfortunately, the grips are NOT made in America. 😃

Change the grips? Both PURE and Star are better quality than most grips of today IMO. EPDM rubber lasts longer.

Hmmm, that WOULD give me an excuse to go another project!

Love the comment from Chad. ...."You ain't hitting them butter knives." 😁

His points are all good, if you have the time and desire to improve. Personally, I just play golf to be with my buds (or SWMBO), have fun, and enjoy hitting as many good shots as possible; I do not practice. In that light, I play the biggest shovels I can stand to look at. I'll take all the forgiveness and poor-skill-masking I can get. Once my ego got past the "I love looking at a player's club" phase, I'm OK with that.

I get your points Steve and agree. I also think Chad GTD has some validity. All depends on your need.

New test iron this is not a USA made head. Shovel you say?

They are beauties and look very playable! Those are not shovels compared to my Adams 2014 Idea hybrid-iron set. 😁

Silver Diamond LX Tour undercut design with upright lies, offset, strong lofts, nice loft graduation for lower club head speed players seniors etal, medium top line not thick and most important 304SS so bendable 5*. Testing a 7i out this maybe the iron I have been looking for to fit/build for majority of hdcp. golfers. Won't break the bank.

Silver Diamond LX Tour.....who sells them??!!!

They look a lot like the set of Callaway XR Cup Face irons I had several years ago. Maybe the best irons I ever owned. Wish I had never sold them, but the Project X shafts were R flex, and
I got to the point where I was losing distance and needed a Senior flex. Should have just reshafted them!!!

Something that’s been bugging me. I realize modern irons are jacked lofts and lengths in an effort to sell distance but I never understood more upright lies. Most will say they love their 7 irons but can’t hit a 5. I reality a 5 is only 1 inch longer. Given that your hands stay the same height at address with all clubs the difference is really the ball being an inch farther from your body. That leads me to believe that the jacked loft and an improper lie is the culprit. I’m 5’11 and with a 38 inch 5 iron I need 2 degrees flat of traditional standard.

What's your W-T-F Tinker?

Tinker

scotts33 if you measure me on an old club length ruler I probably come in at 1/2 inch short. I used to build all my irons at that size( 37.5 5 iron). as I have gotten older and lost a bit of distance I have gone to 1/2 inch longer and 2 degree flat. I really think length is pretty irrelevant with appropriate lie. Length creates distance( swing speed) lie creates clean contact. I have shorter legs and longer arms. My wtf is 33

I've got a made in USA driver, if I ever build it. I'd have to order the grip.

Ruger made some great metal woods/drivers Rex!

I am 6'0" and 36" W-T-F and if playing 1/2" length graduation clubs with swing weight heft match play 2* upright 38" 5i. I have a more upright torso/vertical swing plane. That 3" difference in our W-T-F can be immense on how you match playing length/lie correlation.

How I Fit Dynamic Lie Angle. This assumes the player is close to correct playing length/lie to tweak for best performance.

scotts33 They made all the Callaway Warbird heads, up until they closed.
