  1. Damn, that is horrible news.....good luck with rehab and recovery.....at least you can do a ton of core exercises and leg workouts in the off season..... * I'm currently trying out the Adams DY driving type irons

    how about next week ???
  3. hmmmmmm........ : )
  4. i do have 3 of them and they are all stamped conforming
  5. The Zy11 is conforming....it is stamped on the side of the head.....it wouldn't surprise me if this club was at the limit or slightly beyond it
  6. end

    Eline is Ernie's younger sister....she is also nicknamed "easy" and its not because of her swing ! She also gets extra "L" in Ellls for the fact she is lovely and luscious and limber
  7. 7D shaft is the Seven dreamers shaft, it allows the rich folk to outdrive us commoners by quite a bit : ( * i already feel like I'm cheating with the Zy 11, i can't even phatom how much better the Zy11 would be with a 7D shaft.....im currently rocking a Kamui pro 55g shaft ( stock shaft offering from my kamui nitro ) in my Zy11......
  8. Oh yeah....im a huge fan of the ZY11, the deep face works well for me and i like the sound and feel of this driver....distance is super long but the main reason i love this driver is sound and feel and it is also a very forgiving head !!

    i have in my putter rotation a Piretti Tour Elite and a Piretti GSS cottonwood 2 and a Epon Zen and a Bettinardi FCB 110Cu and a couple Bettinardi DASS tour stock. The Zen and FCB and tour elite are my favs

    but you left out the part where the psycho bunny feels and sounds better : )
  11. i totally agree with you shambles, i was offering a alternative quick fix method but the preferred method is to definitely check out the entire shaft for fractures and loose epoxy .......but mild heating with a blow driver will often get rid of a few small creaks....

    where are u located ???.....i have a couple win win hybrid golf bags and a A grind staff bag
  13. Sorry Shambles but i think you are seriously mistaken about the heating application...im not telling the guy to torch it to failure but warm the epoxy so it can dispel the air bubbles. I absolutely agree that taking it apart and checking out everything is your best option but if you want to try a quick fix, the heating is an alternative method and certainly not the best method but the easiest. The most commonly used and misunderstood term is heat deflection under load (HDUL), often shortened to simply the heat deflection temperature (HDT). This shortened name helps to breed some of the confusion. HDUL is a standard test (ASTM D-648) used industry- wide to characterize the thermal behavior of a resin system. The test determines the temperature at which a bar or coupon of cured epoxy (without reinforcing fibers) 1 8" thick× ½" wide × 5" long and under a point load of 264 psi will deflect 0.1" (~7 64"). The test sample is loaded in the test apparatus and simply supported at both ends, on edge, and the load is applied in the center—a typical three-point bend test (Photos 1 & 2). Then the sample is lowered into an oil bath that heats slowly up from room temperature and stops when the sample deflects the 0.1" (Photo 3). The misconceptions are that above this temperature the epoxy no longer has any structural integrity, adhesive strength, and/or that it even begins to return to a liquid state! None of these correctly characterizes what is happening. With an understanding of how HDUL is measured, it should seem obvious that the epoxy becomes more flexible as the temperature rises above room temperature (typically 72°F), but the epoxy is still quite strong. Although it is true that there are epoxy systems on the market formulated to have an HDUL lower than room temperature, these epoxies are for specific, non-structural applications. Here’s an example which demonstrates that epoxy retains its structural integrity and adhesive strength after exposure to high temperatures.

    Finally something written by stew that i completely understand, it was either references to the ex girlfriend or those ESL classes are paying off
  15. I've played all 3 and the titleist t MB wins hands down, it is more forgiving and longer loft for loft, the miura and the crazy are both better looking and a sweet spot hit with the crazy is very satisfying but in terms of overall performance, the titleist has it all, it can perform like a blade but has the forgiveness of a GI and it is very user friendly and looks great at address
  16. might be nice to get a heel shafted model and get GF to modify it !
  17. Are u looking for a collared ferrule ???
  18. I rmbr the conforming version was long, this must be a beast !!!!

    Yep, the first edition egg was my fav as well....a bit loud but man it goes !!!!
  20. that could also be air bubbles in the epoxy.....if it is pretty fresh epoxy, i would reheat the hosel lightly, even a hair dyer will work or a cigarette lighter and then let it cool again, that should take care of it......conversely, you can just pull the shaft and redo it

    probably modus 130
  22. robbie replied to vanla01's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    I too have gamed one, it is a improvement over the old one in many ways ...it is longer and more forgiving and more playable but somehow the old one sounded and felt better.....but performance wise, the new one is much better

    Naw, i own a few Piretti GSS Putters and i love them, i don't know either Mike Johnson or you, but i rolled everything under the sun and Pirettis are pretty damn nice !!!!! * Oh and MIKE JOHNSON, if you are listening, you make some beautiful head covers that are super sturdy but it has the wimpiest velcro ever, if you can please make a magnet closure option, that would be awesome. And Sticks, coming on a public forum with supposed credentials to bash one of my favorite putters is just not right, your Camerons also cost a couple bucks to make ! and i personally find they putt like crap, and many of the retail putters feel better than the tour putters.....they are well made and some are really nice to look at but seriously, you think 5K is ok for your 5 bucks but not for Piretti ???? BHAHAHAHAHHA

    Soooo...your Nephew begged you for them and you decided BST was a better option ???? bhahahahahahha * the photographs don't seem to be showing up ????
