  1. I hate to derail this thread, but what would be the performance benefits in your opinion? (I do concede that there probably are benefits for most people but for my swing I'm finding that the less offset the more accurate)
  2. Hmmm...and they can be ordered with zero offset?
  3. Can we even order the 5005's in the custom shop? If so, that would be my choice...
  4. I found those ferrules on ebay. They're a red marble like finish...pretty cool!
  5. I think ping set the original stage for copper...and well, for many things golf.
  6. I wondered if anyone else was going to put Monacos in a copper head!
  7. ST + distance! Isn't that why you bought a hi-cor head in the first place? Play it safe in a regular head if you feel the need.
  8. Customgolfclubpainting.com

    I've been through a lot of 5w's and that old Yamiha is my gamer. You're not lying by saying it's one of the best!
  10. You're right, they were great shafts. Iirc, the only thing I didn't like was that they were heavy compared to the same flex Ctpr.
  11. Lmao Stew!!! Carlo, send me done of those green tea and strawberry shortcake ones!! (But wait until summer is over or they'll be a mess!)
  12. Having some coppers and raw/black irons already, I'm really digging the satin boron. Any idea if these finishes will change the feel in any way?
  13. Curious...does nowon make midsize?
  14. That was from my buddy here in AZ. ;)Btw, my avatar is my 5w...
  15. Just found out my guy is going through some restructuring so he's temporarily down...but yes, he is definitely the best!!!
  16. Yep, in the states Bridgestone is now advertising that as of this year their balls are completely manufactured in the U.S.
  17. Not many like them but nothing is softer than Winn Excels.
  18. So I took my own advice on snacking yesterday and I reminded myself how significant a role eating properly really is. I had been stagnant for most of the summer, not getting into any good rounds. I kept blaming it on not getting as much practice as I needed until I realized that all of my rounds lately were purely recreational and I was always eating lunch at the turn. So this time I decided to skip the big meal and continue snacking on my cashews and craisins and sipping water/Gatoraid. I pulled in at the turn at 1 under playing steady. Nothing spectacular but in my typical range. As I had hoped, I didn't hit that wall around 12/13 like I had been where my physical and mental game had been falling off lately. I was able to maintain my concentration and come in posting 3 under on the back 9! I just wanted to share how amazing the difference is that this method makes for me (and maybe a little passive bragging since it's been so long since I've gone low). I'd like to hear if others besides nob and myself can see any difference in there game by managing food/drink better during their rounds.
  19. Have some Fourteens coming, replaced some Marus that I should never have sold, and found an old Titleist Elk in good shape.
  20. Dayum! Why do these come up right after I buy 6 other wedges!
  21. why are you still here??? DO IT!

    It's just the earlier generations that use the alpha designation. I've had two LY-01's. The first was stiff, the newer one was 7.2.
  23. I didn't think the graph represented ball flight because of the way the 120's are depicted...
  24. I have no idea what that graph means but if I'm understanding the reinforced spots, is this supposed to be a mid flight shaft?

    I was under the impression that LaBomba was simply the white paint scheme and had nothing to do with the shafts characteristics. And iirc, stiff equated approximately to 7.2.
