I had a few of the Alpha RM-5 hybrids built over the last few weeks.
They are really great hitting clubs but I dont think Im having anyone else build the rest of the set...just going to do it myself from now on.
Looking at the set of woods I built compared to the work and attention to detail of the job on these hybrids is a bit irritating.
Firstly the guy left a lot of crap epoxy around the top of the head and on the shaft. Geez...even I cleaned all that up before it dried.
He used clear and I used the stuff that mixes dark grey from golfsmith, but still...wiping it off isnt that hard to do before it dries.
The 5 was cut too long. Not a huge problem, still hits really well, but so much for paying for professional club building.
And I always line up the "golf pride" so that its at 12oclock at address like every club Ive ever bought has been. Hell he's got one of them at 1oclock and another at a full 2oclock.
The clubs all hit well but being as anal retentive as I am theres no way I want more built like this.
Wondering what I can say to him to get him to sell me more of the heads and have him not get overly curious.
If I tell him he sucks he probably wont sell me the heads at all.
