Try some cheap "foam rubber insulation tube" (google that) thats sold in hardware stores for a few bucks. Its normally used as a sleeve over hot/cold water pipes. I just slice it and tape to the push cart mounts so its like a cushion, and it holds standbags perfectly, protects the legs mechanisms and prvents abrasions the mounts can make on bags. Its ugly but awesome. I also made up some lengths with velcro straps to attach to hire push trolleys when on holiday, but i fail to remember to bring them along every time. So not sure how well that would work

I changed the gaps from 8iron up from 4 degrees, to 5 degrees, which allowed me to lose 1 club, so that often I only carry 13. was 38,42,46,50,54,58 now 38,43,48,53,58 tossed out the PW which is half useless being the same length as GW- really, whats the point. Would like to do the same for longer irons but that means bending them too much or dropping one stuffing up weight progressions, so not really practical in a 4 iron up configuration. If a player had only 6 iron up in irons it would be a peice of cake to have 12 clubs and no gaps. * sorry supo, but I didnt steal this idea from you, I arranged this a year ago, but great minds think alike hey!

I have acquired a Honma TW727 455S with additional marking PROTO-OMN under the Tour World designation, and no loft marking. but to my eye it surely is the 10.5d. A golfer that i might know that might play on Japan tour might have asked me to sell it for him, but i think i might keep it for myself. Anyone know what the actual head weight might be on one of these? ( dont want to pull it apart just to weigh it just yet) and are the weight screws in the sole designed to be changeable, or are they really only there for aesthetics?

any condition considered I have a T.388 in 9 degree in VGC that I could trade

and I thought Supo was japanese!

Not really guaranteed yet, maybe Thursday. I will let you know

I have no idea. That is the reason I leave the club building to my professional! He ( Gary Tozer) is coming up from Newcastle this week, bringing my clubs with him. Meeting at Retco on Thursday

I sent the 388 that I purchased from Hutchy, it was 192.7 grams to my my clubmaker, who calls me on Friday and says he filled it with as much hotmelt as he could and it's still too light, around C8. So I asked him to just add lead tape, as I don't want it longer than 44", which means I need the head at 202-203grams. I will be getting it back on Thursday so will see how it goes then. I am using the Nunchuk shaft in it, which is especially suited to shorter shaft lengths. I suspect that everyone who found this club too unforgiving, was playing it too long. Seems to be a trend of the JDM market to make drivers lighter and longer now.

I think this needs a 43.5" shaft., then the smaller head won't matter

From memory 1/2" is 3 swing weight points, and 2 deg of lie angle.

Every golfer that has SS of 90mph or less doesn't have the same spin rates, so I politely suggest that spin is not the problem, it's the symptom of technique. My mum is a 70yo 25hc and uses a 12 deg driver, her ball flight is fine. I suggest read this, noting the conclusion, if it's too much detail. http://www.tutelman.com/golf/ballflight/whatMatters.php ball speed is a significant factor in driving distance, but launch angle and spin are somwhere between insignificant and zero. I think your first step is to get a series of lessons. No single piece of equipment is going to bring about enough change to your numbers.

my SS is 96-98mph and its fine ! its one flex for everyone, even my nanna can hit it. You got to take everything that you know about golf shafts, throw it away and start again. know it well, they import the Nunchuk shaft, so they can tell you all about it.

IMHO there is only one shaft that' suits this requirement , it is heavy, counterweighted and off the scale stiff, and I have 16 of them By the looks of your address you are close to me, so why not come down the hill for a look and a hit.(Bring the T388 with you!) Google Nunchuk by Nventix, there is a small discussion thread on this board too.

I tried a 12d and it was horrible. I gave it to my mum I think if you go down this path, you need much heavier head and shaft

it is a great idea what Terry Kohler is doing with his new brand Ben Hogan golf in concept but absolute rubbish in their application http://www.benhogangolf.com/ft-worth-15 Despite what they say, the iron set is only 7 heads, in other words a 4 iron to PW. We all know how expensive molds are, and you can tell from their specs chart that they obviously just make 7 heads, and bend them up to 2 deg in either direction, if necessary as tolerances will also give them a variation. Then stamp a number on them. I emailed them to ask what their head weights were - no answer. each head, comes in four variations of loft. The shortest head, obviously equivalent to PW is 44 to 47 degrees, the longest which is a 4 iron length/head weight, is 20-23 degrees. If you get these irons, you are still ended up with what the big brands are doing, stronger lofts throughout and you still need Gap wedges. I would have been a fan if the shortest head was 47-50 degrees, then i can get my 9 iron at 46deg then 4deg/7gram gaps down from there. With my shorter shaft i need heavier heads so this would be ideal.
