    Its gotta go. Dont make me go to flea bay. Please! :cool:
  4. I purchased the head about 4 months ago. I am happy with my current three wood so I wont be needing this one. Its in 8.5 out of 10 shape. I would like 210.00 + shipping or do some swappping for a set of irons. I need to get rid of this. Thanks, G
  5. Whats the story with the orange? Is it something different? Where can I get a Cinnamon? I just picked up some R5TPs and I want a Cinnamon in it. I would swap a Diamana and some change for one if one was located. Thanks, G
  6. Does your proto have an orange bottom section? Aldila Cinnamon? :laugh: :smile1: :smile2: Cinnamon (S) for sale? Does it come in 65?
  7. Do you have the protos? Or the V2's? If so, can you give specs? Any chances you have an Aldila Cinnamon laying around? I really want one of those. :love: G
  8. I have used a few dropps of shaft epoxy and never had a problem since. I would reccommend you use a q-tip and dab it in the opening then pushing the weight in. If you put it on the weight and then push it in it seems to get a bit sloppy. FYI. Good luck, G :smile1:
  9. Company called Carolina golf, who does club refinishing for TM has the TP logos and they can fix any club. They are on line, hold on......Ok, here it is: carolinagolf.com, go to repairs. Good luck, G

    I am looking for a soft S flex shaft, yet I want it stiffer than a regular. I know my 2 options are either trim the regular or weight the head of the other club thats receiving the stiff. If I want a specific swingweight and dont want to weight the head of the one and Im afraind of changing the shafts characteristics by trimming on the other, what can I do. I am looking for a specific CPM, and I know roughly the properties I like, how can I find out CPMs of any given shaft with a certain club head weight? My main question is a diamana 83 regular. Thanks, G Also is there a shaft that has the same charateristics as a Fuji 757 but in a mid 60 gram shaft? Thanks, again. :smile1:
  11. There is more data than ever being collected on shafts, especially regarding shaft profiling. I think there will be a standard in the industry soon. Yes, a company can take the readings and do something slightly different to come up with an odd number but I dont see it having any advantages. I fell in love with the concept of shaft profiling a while back. People are now able to read shaft specs that are graphed out and will display playing characteristics all along the shaft. Great idea. :laugh: Now we can look for parts we like in a certain shaft, find others with similar specs yet have the changes were looking for. I think the biggest obstacle will be to find one we like. lol Theres going to be fun times ahead. G :cool:
  12. From the little knowledge I have, I would say if you soft step a shaft your going to get a little softer feel, not much of a difference in trajectory. Hard stepping is just the opposite. Doing this is supposed to give a person the in between flex. Anyone can correct me here, I am probably doing a disservice here. :confused: :smile2: G
  13. I learned how to play golf with MP-14's, had 2 sets. I've hit many clubs since then and have never really found any that felt as good. Looked at the MP-33's, felt clicky and hard, didnt like them. Tried Hogans, again clicky and hard. Just hit the MP-32's and have to say they are the easiest to hit and the best feeling club I have hit since my 14's. I havent played a full set just a few irons, but they are great. IMHO, the MP-32 is one of the top 5 best clubs I have ever hit. Im going to try the TP's again to make sure I wasnt having a bad swing day, which is most days. Good luck! G :cool:

    I dont think TM will relase a TP in the HT line, but I am not sure about the R5TP. If it wont be the actual R5 it will be something very similar from what I have heard. G :cool:
  15. Guys I havent been around much lately do to this terrible flu/belly ache thing I have been trying to get over. :wink: I think my wife is trying to kill me again. I told her what I did and she keeps insisting I drink 8 glasses of water a day and make sure I drink water with every meal. :whistle: Go figure. Honestly, my water hasnt had much taste lately so I stuck all of my irons in there. lol Oh, we have a good filter now, guy at the home depot said its supposed to get rid of all the rust in the water, I said, SOLD! I wont be doing it again. A guy could just fill up a gallon bucket with softner salt and a bit of water and do the same thing. Thanks for the heads up. I thought about it afterwards and figured it wouldnt be a good thing to be doing. Thanks for the heads up though. DA, course is now open. I might have a job you would be interested in. Give me a shout. Sorry about the sister thing, I was just playing. Didnt mean for it to get out of hand. Buds?, G

    I am inserting an 869 that has been trimmed 1/2 inch into a TM 200 smoothie 3 wood and was just curious how it will play. The head seems to weigh about 217 grams and I just floed the shaft and added a 2 gram lead tip weight, so Im excited to hit it. The weight limits the insertion depth about an 1/8th of an inch less, not sure if that matters. I glued it up and now Im going to try it tomorrow. I have been playing a retail V-steel with a regular shaft and have been playing it quite well. I have about a 115 SS and just prefer a soft shaft. Im just hoping the 869 isnt to stout. Its an (S) flex. Anyone here play this combo? Thanks, Grant

    DA, Do black, I think they would be the best. I seen someones custom Mizunos on here that were black and had white lettering. They looked marvelous. When you coming back? Its 60 here. Course is opening next week I heard. Later, G

    I need to know what length an 869 should be tipped in order to have it play correct to flex in a 217 gram 3 wood. Is 1 inch to much? Thanks, G
  19. Doesnt everyone have a softner? The thing you put salt into for soft water? We have a white 20-30 gallon tank that holds salt. Mine had a bit of water in it which is normal, along with salt, about half full. I stuck the wedge in the tank, up to the hosel and left it for the night. Came back in the morning and it was completely clean. I am not sure of the chemical reaction, hopefully the water doesnt taste too bad this week. lol Im sure that type of concentration of salt water can be pretty agressive. Not sure, I wasnt a science major. :smile2: hehe I can take a picture if anyone wants to post it. Grant

  21. I thought I had a cool idea for getting my club to rust, but it backfired. I put it in our softener overnight just to see if I could get a really rusty head and came back the next day and it was completely free of any rust at all. It actually cleaned the head completely. WTF? :-D If you want an easy way to clean raw heads, give it a try. It works! No, really it does. Grant
  22. I am pretty sure I can get them for around 900.00 but I thought that was way too steep. I guess whatever someone will pay is what its worth. I hope they come to Retail. They are already here so why not put it into production? Why wait for another 6 months for a 450-460 R7? I prefer only 2 weights anyway. Did I say I :love: the R5TP
  23. Anyone have access to that shaft? Interested to hear if anyone has any experience with it. :laugh: G
  24. But the club pics above her aren't an R7. That's my baby! Come to papa! G
