Hype is dwindling for me, it seems....

This offseason, I have no potential club ho's. None. I have a driver I really like (two, actually), my fairways and hybrid is set. My irons aren't going anywhere, and I may replace my 56* head with the same model. No putters, have lots of balls.

WTF is wrong with me? It's been a long, long while since I've been this set in my bag. It's a strange feeling.

For me it's Jeep parts. Gone as far as I can at lower prices (which are about average retail for a good driver)...next step will be more, like in the retail range of some Mizuno's!

Time for Thomas to get into the Livestock speculation game! (moreso, than he already is!)

Re: Hype is dwindling for me, it seems....

When putting tungsten down the shafts, do you mix it with the glue and put in in the shaft that way, ie at the same time you put the head on, or after when the glue is dry, ie just pour it down and then put a cork in? I have OCD again about these things

Jeep parts suck, because every time you buy one it helps you either break or recognize the weakness of another part.

Just dump it in and put a cork in it. No need to remove the heads.

Re: Hype is dwindling for me, it seems....

I have that same Tamron. Love it.

I want something for everyday shooting, without the bulk. Hence my quest for a 1.4 50MM.

Re: Hype is dwindling for me, it seems....

Ho'ing clubs is out and I'm working on bicycle parts. Picked up a new crankset earlier in the year and am kicking around the idea of upgrading the drivetrain.

Road or mountain?

I used to ride and race XC. I had 4 bikes at one point. Did all my own work, rebuilt shocks, built wheels and serviced disc brakes for all my friends. Loved it.
