  1. Are you saying they don't do any grind work to the open model, just offering a busily stamped raw wedge?

    If Craig likes the higher launch of the 450 over the Maxima, I would be concerned over launch height. I find the Maxima very high launch and I also find the Crazy Boron an easy launch shaft. Mind you I have not hit the 450...
  3. Z9003 maybe...
  4. Have managed to achieve lifetime status at a couple of airlines and Starwood. Have held the highest levels at times with most hotel chains. If points accrual is your game then you need to affiliate card/hotel/airline in which case the Delta/Starwood/Amex connection is best. Personally the points are nice but it is upgrades and ease of travel that float my boat. So pick the airline with the most options out of your local airport. For me now, US Scare and, soon to be American. On the hotel front it is the most comfortable bed. As such, Starwood was the first to focus on that and have been loyal there for 18 yrs while forcibly maintaing gold status a few other chains. Status matching, most will, but not to their highest levels. They will frequently set a high bar for accelerated attainment to the highest level while giving you the layer below.
  5. Have the Crazy 435 head only and several extra weights. No pics till end of week...
  6. Happy and healthy...
  7. I tend to have my builder tweak most of my clubs too. Much harder to do with Roddio shafts, from what I understand.
  8. What about shaft options? Any chance at the Roddio iron shaft?
  9. Anymore info on these? Lofts, and other specs, prices etc…?
  10. Every putter he has made for me he has started from block of metal and CNC'd it to shape. I do not know if he even uses blanks. Might be easiest to send a note to him.
  11. As you know I have one. But in reality I have 3 of them. One in a vacation bag in San Diego, and the other 2 in active rotation. I do not believe he uses blanks per se. He machines his own. Very personable guy and does very high quality work.
  12. Started out to be a solid copper one as you'll see from the first photos. Then ended up Damascus.
  13. Custom 8802 style by Slighter Golf.
  14. Can't comment on it as an inert, but it feelers great as a putter. Nice and solid soft.
  15. Ehhh, Stew only has second stringers... ?

    I have an X for sale if you wanna give it a go...

    I would agree on the silly long and straight, but if the head is a high launcher then shaft not necessarily a good fit.

    ANy chance of a comparative photo to the Yam v203?
  19. Any trade interest? Would be curious on the TS 709 for a Crazy 435 with weights.

    I started reading this and thought it was a BST ad that mid writing you decided to keep them and bring the south... Always a good read from you Supoo, I have been curious about a few of the PRGR wedges but have never brought myself to pull the trigger...

    If the sole is on the ground you could be getting skewed results.
  22. Think I found my next club assuming it an be sourced... http://onoff.globeride.co.jp/labo/labo-spec-club/fairway-wings-type-s.html Didn't even know 18* was an option here, but given what the 21* and 24* can do the 18* should be special. Throw an i10sx in it and should be good to go...
  23. i have been using the ONOFF UTs and iBrids to great success for a few seasons now. I find them to be controllable and accurate with very good distance, 21* is a 240 yd club. When I got my set Yam Tours, it included the 3 and 4 iron. While decent with them, I am also less consistent and 0.5-1 club shorter distance wise loft for loft. As I play the same course and rotate bags frequently I continue to play the 3 and 4 iron and have gotten better with them. In the Yam bag, I also have an 18* Yam UT that I am not necessarily as fond of when compared to the iBrid and ONOFFs so am considering a switch. Hence the question above. I have Miura 5wd that is money, but a little high flying and not as controllable(traj. wise) as the ONOFF and the 18* iBrid is low rockets all day. The new Bucchi definitely has my curiosity piqued but not sure if it or other driving irons are as versatile as the UTs. Similarly the new ONOFF FW seems to be a good candidate to fill the 240ish length for me. I don't carry a 3 or 4 wd as from 260-270, unless there is trouble I play a lay up shot anyway. Minimize the bad and all... When it comes to directional stability, the ONOFF and iBrid more than any other UT offer tops in performance. I have tried the RomaRo Ray, RC TRC, a couple of Adams' and Epon UTs and have fought the hook on all of them. On the feel front, if you have never hit an ONOFF UT then you don't know what you are missing. I get the best feeling and sound out of those things, definitely on par with a pured long iron. The iBrids are more metallic and not as good sounding/feeling but they are still great performers.
  24. Do you have a hybrid or iron shaft in the UT?
