What did you build today?

[Nikonut]

put a KBS tour 110 on a Maltby STi2 5i head.
jury's out. 5 and sometimes 6i can be trouble, if nothing else, mentally for me.
tend to have the ball turn right towards the last say 3/4 or more of the ball flight.

Glue is drying , Maltby 6i with a recoil es760 shaft. This might be the ticket to my 6i woes.

 

[Nikonut]

Plays well if I don’t chicken wing it lol
Even with chicken wing… 165 yds
Found out my ss with the 6i is 85mph

i may be at the top end of this shaft ???

 

[Nikonut]

What an absolute game changer!
The Recoil shaft really woke up this 6i !! Totally stoked about it!
I’m going to change out all the Maltby irons lol!

Latest escapade in PapaD's little shop of horrors. I scored a set of 2004 Callaway Big Bertha irons for cheap. Graphite shafts were beat. Ring ferrules were beat, broken or missing, heads were fine. I had some shafts, so I ordered collared ferrules, bore-through shaft pins for graphite and some grips. Goal - learn how to reshaft a bore-through iron head. I had to do some math (uh-oh) because tip trimming is different with bore-through since the shaft goes deeper into the clubhead. Turns out 1/2" less of tip trim was the answer once you learn how to measure BBGM (Bottom of Bore to Ground). Anyway, after lots of reading and asking, these turned out OK. I don't have really good finishing/polishing tools so they could have looked a little better, but I'm happy and the buddy that just bought them is happy.

Pulling old head

Reaming hosel - Callaway hosels have a taper at the end. My shafts were .370 parallel. Yes, it's easier to clamp the reamer in a vise and push/turn the head.

Everybody lines up for business!

Glued up with bore-through pins inserted. Shaft hole has to be plugged so the critters can't crawl in there and make nests.

Finished project - had to use my cutoff wheel and wire brush wheel to smooth things out. A Scotchbrite wheel is the answer - just ordered one.

very very well done sir

Well not really built today, but I've been working on it. The Shank Shack...

 

[jhmeg2]

It happened... I finally got the MP29s done. 4-pw black heads, with white paint fill. Project X LZ 6.5 shafts powder coated black and blue no stickers, and blue fuerrels. They are so sexy i just wanna look at em. I paired them with Cleveland wedges (same shafts). I also had a Titleist heal shafted Tour Model putter refinished in bronze with black paint fill, and put on a Best Grips hand stitched leather grip. I was going to sell em, but I've got just over $1000 into redoing them. They go in the bag tomorrow. And all the photos are too large to upload...

copy and shrink the photos so we can see them. I might wake you up some morning just to see those.

Well, it wasn't today, but last year I built myself a set of these things:

Dynacraft Prophet Muscle Blade Iron - Clubhead

The Dynacraft Prophet Muscle Blade is all about extremes yet in a design where all the technology is hidden. First, this is a hollow-bodied design to move weight to the perimeters for exceptional forgiveness much like a hybrid. However, this multi-material design key feature is an ultra-thin...

Took me a while to warm up to them due to a different feel at contact, but they seem like magic. I've grown to love them. Moreso than affection, I have a huge amount of confidence with one of these in my hand.

Built: Dynacraft Prophet MB P-7
Built: Integra iDrive Hybrids 6-4

Yes. I'm old. I'm not ashamed.

Today during arts and crafts time in The Shank Shack, I built Warbirdlover's new iron set. Maltby KE4 MAX with Excaliber shafts. They turned out nice, and feel like I would play em'.

just so people know I have not, as far as I know built clubs for DJ or Lexi, but I did buld clubs and work at a facility where they were clients. It was nice to be at work and have them around, Nice enough people.

I thought you had a book with their specs in them.
