The experiment is on. I found a bunch of older GolfWorks round lead discs that were used to swing weight iron heads, etc. and decided they were the perfect...

Cool!

Eguller I have a 1/2 dozen of those also. I was going to suggest them the other day, but thought something more 'modern' might be the way to go, with the magnet suggestion.
Looks like they will still work. 😉

Thanks. Yeah, I probably have 30-40 of them. I tried a magnetic disc with no luck. These have
the right proportions to look almost OEM, add weight, easily painted to match lie and have some weight. 😁

That tells me GW uses a better grade of stainless than others, the reason for their pricing.

Got to remember these are only $20 per. but I was surprised when I had them in hand at the quality. Heads and tails better than most component heads. Also, the sizes and strength of magnets didn't work for me easily.

Eguller I've always liked GW irons. Whenever I would compare say Hireko to GW I could tell the GW appeared to be of much better quality. Especially the face and grooves just looked so much better.

Eguller For what you were wanting, rare earth magnets are best. They are the strongest. I have a couple and nearly got to get out the crowbar to get them off anything. And they are only about 1/8 x 3/8 in size. It's what scrapyards would use for detecting grades of stainless, magnetic vs. non. Did some scrapping in my time. 😀

Definite differences in quality.

Said the pot to the kettle. 🧐😎

Eguller

nice work! Wishon had a putter way back when that took flat lead discs under the sole. Those might be too big though?

If you move the magnet weight to the heel side of the gold coin, two things happen: (1) a fade becomes a nice draw, (2) you gain entrance to the secret caves behind #6 green.

Me likey. Oh, Rex....I did find a perfectly shaped 1/2" magnet the right thickness and 4.2 grams. I may try it,
but it wants to wander to easily when trying to center it. Good idea though.

One of my favorite bands of the 70's!

Nice to know, but with my 135 mph 7 iron swing ( I'm on WRX also), it would fly off and hit
sdandrea1 the first time we teed it up. He'd be pissed. 😅

sdandrea1 Them and The Guess Who. I still watch their Youtube vids.

Par4QC The Guess Who are criminally underrrated. Epic band.

So, it's true. You do slow down with age. 😁

I'd be dead (again). 😅

LOL....I can't even do 110 now even in my car. Age and surgeries don't take prisoners.
