AKFLY Posted February 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Are you including yourself there AK !! :lol: It would have to be big bargain right now - for me to switch. Hit the range yesterday - and all my tinkering is tsarting to show the results I want. Tipping the 757 just a 1/2 inch in the TP broght the monster alive. I would like to try the 660 - but the 757 may be the ticket. Now I am wondering how the 757 would feel in the 3 wood :lol: PX shafts - right on 8O - the long irons seem like they do not stop Back to the Lab :) Hey thats great am happy for you :D Can't wait to get my new sticks with the PX am starting to feel like the next 3 weeks won't pass fast enough :lol: And what are you going to cook up in the lab today Dr. Frankengolfer :wink: Actually - I need to get two fly rods built in three weeks - trip is the same weekend you get PXed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKFLY Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I know some people would probably disagree with me on this , but your a good man AK :lol: Just an FYI Mike ... the water we fish is mostly catch and release - I do believe in select harvest- noting better in a pan or a smoker - but never in the freezer.

Mike Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Ah so , have never been flyfishing and it's been over 20 years since I did any fishing , so that's how out of the loop I am on stuff like that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Yeah your right considering where I live . My pro does a lot of flyfishing and when I hear how much the various rods and reels cost , I'm sort of glad I don't go anymore . If I did would never have any money for club HOing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillypete Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 thanks for the links mike... I am sticking to my guns I don't think she is hot.... Geeze I do post all weekend and everyone is throwing out thier 300's. I actually got to play this weekend... posted a huge number :cry:. The putter wasn't working at all. The first three holes were Fairway, Green 3 putt. The the 4th I made bogey from the woods. on 5 (par3) I bounced over the green but then came back for bogey. On 6 all hell broke loose, I think I tried to do too much but I posted a 8 on a 4 putt. :oops: And the round was ruined from thier on. The back nine was murder b/c I was trying force things and making stupid choices. the good news... off the tee I was solid until I started trying t put a little extra on it then I got erratic. My irons were solid, besides my 4i which put me in water on a par 3 both times through. I was scaring the pin with my Scratch Wedge all day. I had a weird occurence with my vokey SW. 2 times it seemed like the ball just slid over it and the grass wasn't fluffy. I was even decent out of the sand. The damn putter hung me out to dry... guess I need to practice more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Yup sounds like some more practice is needed . At least you got to play in dry conditions pete . Am starting to real tired of the mud and slop we are playing in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am starting to real tired of the mud and slop we are playing in . it was a beautiful day out... but posting a snowman can make any day terrible. Oh yeah I love the Winn AK had on the shaft he sent me... to bad after one round it has holes through it! 8O I need to find something soft like a winn but more durible.

Mike Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 pete you are gripping the club way to tight man if that happened after only one round . Are you trying to strangle the club !! I have winn's on my wedge's for almost a year . No hole's and almost look like they were just put on . Lighten up on your grip pressure and not only will your grips last longer but your shots will also improve . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have winn's on my wedge's for almost a year . No hole's and almost look like they were just put on . Lighten up on your grip pressure and not only will your grips last longer but your shots will also improve . Well there was already some wear from some range action but not too much... My grip starts out light but I feel it tighten up during my down swing... I am wearing the grip on my putter pretty hard to and I am certainly not squeezing that too hard. I think I just have anti winn hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete - keep in mind that the shaft was sitting in my basement for like 3-4 years. Try a harmony I like the taper - Winns will last a year if you have a good grip :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Can't tell you that pete . Won't know till I get my scratch as am having those grip put on them . Something real screwy is going on . Has taken me all morning just to get in from work . I think the video that Chris has on the main page is the culprit :) But don't quote me on that . Hopefully it is not a constant problem and it goes away soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainsaw Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Well, I didn't break anything so I'm ready for the trip, Mike. We got around a foot and a half of snow while I was there. I can't wait to escape up there this summer when it's 120 here and 70 there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to escape up there this summer when it's 120 here and 70 there. Very glad to hear . 1 1/2 feet of snow , YUCK hate the stuff myself . And this is coming from a guy who live's in the Great White North :lol: Having never been to Vegas before , does it really get that hot in the summer :?: Boy if it does must do wonders for the waist line , sweating out all the extra fluids one must have to drink :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsaw Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 It really can get that hot :!: The scary thing is you don't even realize that you're sweating because it's so dry. It can get pretty windy sometimes and it literally feels like someone is holding a hair dryer in your face. That said, after growing up in Texas where it's 100 with 75% humidity, I'll take the dry heat any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Dry heat or a lot of humidity that is still HOT . :) Up here they like to say it is a dry cold . :roll: Spent 6 weeks one winter in temps of -32*F . They said it was a dry cold and we were lucky , dry cold or not it is f**kING cold :lol: I'll take the heat any day of the week over that . 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
