  1. Wow...too many possibilities here.. Let's see... Could try standing further back, cause on the downswing the hands extend farther than at address, the extra 2 inches of arm extension on the downswing causes heel impacts.. Could be head moving forward just before downswing... erm...camera usually picks up the problem... :wink:
  2. I'd most likely say this is a taper tip. 0.355 cause i dont think they have time in the factory to cut parellel shafts which are 0.370. They buy the shafts at already pre cut length for 33, 34 and 35" putters. So i'd say taper 0.355". The best thing to do is just buy one parrelel and one taper shaft $10 for both. Keep the other one that doens't fit to keep the street dogs off your lawn :smile2:

    The gel paint remover sounds good. Been searching for all kinds of chemicals to solve this problem. Till now the most effective way is thinner and a needle. i wonder what scotty cameron does when he refinishes a putter. I'm positive they remove the old paint fill before refinishing cause if they dont do that the engraving will start to look too shallow and ugly. Wish someone here could find out how the industrialists do it. What chemicals they use. I was thinking maybe they soak the putter or club in some very strong paint solvent and the paint literally melts away, then they just scrub it with a brush. But i'm yet to find out what this solvent is. How about acid? :laugh: I've just bought white nail varnish for my putter sight line. I found that this is best because it fills paint which is nice and glossy. And it dissolves easily in spirit or thinner. Especially for my sightline. If you need to change the sightline white nail varnish gave me the best results so far. But it has to be pure white or the fill wont look pure. Other paints good for this is enamel paint which can be bought in hardware stores. But i just like nail varnish because it has the perfect brush for the job. If you look at scotty's studio, you'll notice all his paint fills resemble nail varnish with the brush attached to the cap. Does a good job, and you have a great variety of colours too! :cool:
  4. Now..that's what I call some muscle on the back! :surprize: I bet they go as far as cavities.. Hmm, just curious, how much for the clubs...erm..heads...i mean...
  5. Okay...now those MP-33s in Black Nickel finish is not funny....that is probably the best looking finish i've ever seen them in.... :love: It reminds me of the Mizuno Black Ox Wedge finish. Wow, imagine if you could have them in the scotty gun blue finish with a little bit of oil shine on them. **pee weet**:spit: ouch. Hmm...wonder how much they'd cost... :mizuno:

    Now, does anybody know where you can get those wedges, how much. Better still, does anyone know a similar brand which may offer the same looking finish? awesome looking feel.
  7. No worries, this is a common problem. What happens when you strike the ball on the hosel, the ball actually richochets off the hosel then bounces onto the club face and the ball usually flies 20 yards towards the right hand side. Very nasty shot to pull on a golf course. This problem has little to do with being too tall, too short or having your clubs at the wrong length. If you could get a shot of yourself doing this on camera. Put a black marker line right in front of your forehead at address. Now, as you complete your backswing and when you are on your way down, you will notice your forehead point moving forward right over the marker, natural tendency during the downswing to exert power on the ball. You need to exert a more 'around the body' power rather than down towards the ball. When the forehead goes over the line on the downswing, automatically the shoulders and the hands move forward. If the forehead stays in place on camera the shoulders and arms can only extend the distance you prepared for it at address. Keep the forehead from moving forward, exert more power sideways rather than downwards and it should fix the problem Hope this helps. cheers.
  8. Ouchh....my...my heart...it..it hurts.... Sell car.....NOo...must Resist.... :money:
  9. LOL!! This is the craziest contest i've ever seen in my entire life! I've got an idea for you wannabe winners. Home made "scratch wedge winning" wedge. Step: 1 ) Go to an abandoned constuction site 2) Find Dead rusty steel bar (plenty out there) 3) Paint wedge with layer of UHU glue 4) Scrape the rust off with steel ruler 5) Cover entire club with rust 6) Leave to dry 7) Repeat step 1-6 (3X) Voila! Home made game winning wedge. :laugh: oh, send me half your winnings. thx.
  10. GOT IT! A MILLION THANKS OLLY123!! This place rocks.. :cool:
  11. I'm looking pretty high and low for a brand new Rossa TP Putter Grip. The winn one with the TP logo. I need one a brand new one preferably in its original plastic. Maybe those of you with connections to Rossa could help me out? Hope it wont cost a bomb..
  12. TSG HO, Thought I'd say, thanks so much for clearing up the fact on the Retail TP and Tour Issue TPs. This guy on Ebay was blowing my head off for saying they were exactly the same. I found an article buried deep within the USGA website and it was the senior writer of USGA who said this himself and this guy blew me with an email saying " Its amazing what they do to make you beleive". Best part was him writing me an 'essay' about why "Tour Issue" clubs were different and "Better" and more solid and made of different materials and had 2mm lower center of gravity. lol. The bestest part was that he even had the guts to lead me to this site as proof! Amazingly, I found the opposite... You know who you are! :smile1: Thank you for it, Now i'm sure they're hiding deep....very very deep.... :cool:
