  1. thanks. shaft is 100% boron. dont know if thats a factor. all previous owners are accounted for and have taken care of the shaft. i can vouge for them.
  2. you are correct. you have the new next gen PZ milling http://www.golftoimpress.com/golds-factory-next-gen-pz-milling-and-trinity-putters/ my mistake
  3. been playing in over 100f in the last few weeks. our main rounds 2x a week are at the peak of the days temps averaging 95f. BUT most of the time the driver is in the bag and the headcover protects that part of the club. i guess down the line the cuprit could be the degradation of tip strength down the line as its been pulled at least 4x, at least 2x in japan one in Oz and one by me. all done by competent club builders using the utmost care. i guess even so as the number of times the club is pulled there will be some form of weakening even at at small percentages. they add up though:(
  4. isnt that the normal milling? this is the PZ milling
  5. got this from robbie, we swapped for my zero. this one is not for me i will leave it at that. for you strong guys that like piercing bullets cant get any better especially with the shaft. combo at least 1400$ gamed it today for the first time. was contemplating putting my backup stinger in this one but im too traumatized to pull the crazy up and put in another shaft that may not work $850 for the combo. paid a lot for freight customs etc etc. pics to ff in the morning,
  6. well good beneficial ions etc etc. their bracelts suppose to keep you stable etc etc. less yips so they say. could be a placebo. im a sucker for stuff like that but there is some scientific papers on the benefits of+ ions etc etc.
  7. amyas one of my biggest regrets was selling those. damn my no idle clubs rule! i must have been drunk when we made that pact:) haha enjoy them my friend and if there ever comes a time when you are tired of it let me post some trade bait and il get them back. IF, If i say
  8. this club never leaves my sight. i have never lent this to anyone. its in my main bag, my main gamer. and have never used this on a range with a plastic matt. only outdoors with real turf. had a few good hits with it on the grass range prior to our round. #1 good hit. #2 pete awesome hit( hit a high ball which he swears is not his flight) then i hit , very high ball as well, put the club down head down, placed my hand on top of the grip like most of us do(no weight at all) crunch! could it be the heat? then again i hardly leave my clubs in the boot of the car in the crazy 100f + heat
  9. i suspect that it could be my swing as of late. been more upright and steeper angle of attack. then again i doubt if it could have snapped because of that. i also snapped some quattrotechs last year but those were like sloppy pulls from the wrx. wackwack east was brutal with the 104f temp! was so humid as well
  10. YES very very painful. the tip will ground and drilled and the remaining boron fibers and dust will be collected and spread around my home course. seems like the decent thing to do. i dont recall any incident of banging this club. in fact i am so OC and make sure only my trusted trained builder gets to touch this club. hasnt been touched since assembled. i can only speculate what caused this. never hit this puppy in a range mat. never leaned on it. never hurled or bashed it in anger. always placed in a safe position in the boot of the car etc etc. oh well she would make an awesome 3 wood shaft. my backup stinger is playing at .75 tipped i can handle it so this one would be the same tipped .75 to straighten out the fibers. i have some akira prototype tour heads coming and this would be my next experiment. makes no sense touching my yamaha V tour 14* w 9003s! i wish it was the crazy shaft that snapped!
  11. i have a like new minty spotless srixon ute. no marks on face and sole check pics. comes with the upgraded di shaft worth 250$ alone. srix w steel 325. combo of over 500 if you do the math. id be happy with 320$ shipped EMS.
  12. so i have been gaming this stinger since i purchased it from pete the pilot around christmas time. has been my trusted gamer since then. i kid you not nothing comes close to this Yamaha old skool 405d and this sst pured stinger. so me vince and pete have a round in the wack-wack's east course. brought two drivers one 435II and this stinger. i opt to use it on number 2. nice high drive that leaks right. ok thats playable. place the club down as im waiting for Pete to hit his drive. here a crunch. mind you i did not put any weight on top of the shaft. just my hand. was not pressing down. C-R-U-N-C-H. nooooooo!!! scared to look down. damn it that was a costly accident and the end of my stinger swinging days. i take care of my clubs, this was a pampered beauty, eyes always on this club, my prized possession pained me to have to play a round without her. oh well. luckily i have a backup thats been tipped .75" by some tour player in the states. i used this briefly in a TP Superfast. was wondering why it was so much stiffer and Cpms were of by 10-15. aha suckers been tipped .75 oh well some lucky head will be mated with a snapped stinger. snapped at .5" i think i can tip trip another .25 and shel be in good condition. perfect for a 3w or a 5! oh well. i should be careful what i wish for been placing WTB ads in the many forums for a stinger pull for a fw. no luck. guess a snapped one solves that bit. ahhhhhhhhh!!!!
  13. nice info C! i love the yamaha gear! my current driver is an old 405d that cant be kicked out of the bag. only thing not yammie are my irons haha by the way what is a chemically milled crown?
  14. well it boils down to personal preference. cannot go wrong with any GD that is mid kick mid spin. i feel that in my own experience i find the quattrotechs green or md(blue) feel really good in the 202 heads most especially the 60gram series. sorry im partial to GD shafts in my fairway woods:)
  15. i love phiten stuff. i used to use their bracelets years ago. was wondering when they would release a grip which apparently they have done so already. grips must be hella expensive though. Gulp
  16. nice one sir, i remember my first date with her. i was so drooling. not bad at all but as we got to know each other, i found her to be too demanding, the rest is history. hope you have more luck than us.
  17. DAMN what a steal! looking for any trades?
