Club makers?

Do we have any club makers here? What are your winter projects?

I'm probably looking at picking up some Wishon 770 CFEs (5-PW) and probably a couple of Wishon PCF wedges. Prolly shafting the 770s with Wishon Series 5 steel and the PCFs with the Wishon High Flight wedge shafts. Also considering Wishon 785HFs in 3 & 4 with GI-335s. I would like to build another driver too, something slightly lower lofted, but I don't know what yet. I'm intrigued by the new Killer Bee offering.

Anyone else?

anyone here willing to do some shaft pulls/trims-installs (with new grips)  if i send them the materials and a few  'aske' cds
 

not yet, but i'm sure there could be.

for the season,  you can't go wrong with this one...

I'll do 'em. Email for details.

Offer stands. Let me know.  (Let me know if I can help you out on the purchase. Have Wishon account and can also purchase at Golf Works locally if it helps on shipping.)

I moved to a new house recently and can't find the notes from my iron shaft testing. 

I had all these plans to rank each shaft for feel, distance, and dispersion, but when it came down to side-by-side testing at the range, I felt there was too much inconsistency in my swing, the different range balls, and the wind to come to any concrete conclusions and come up with hard data.

So, instead, what I did was lay out each club in a row and grab two at a time from the group and hit just those two for a while.  Then when I had a definite preference between those two I would put them back in the row but with the preferred club always on one side. I repeated this several times throughout the row until all my favorites emerged to one side.  Essentially I did a bubble sort on the different shafts.

I can't remember the entire list, but the two that came in tied for first were the TX-90R and the FST Pro Silver.  And just behind them was the Dynamic Gold R.

The one revelation that I had while doing this was that if I was testing a club that I wasn't hitting that well, I realized that I would start doubting my swing and I would start making subtle compensations in my swing in an attempt to make that particular shaft work.  Toward the end of my testing I realized I was doing this, and when I felt this happening, I would go and grab one of my favorite shafts and swing naturally just to get the feel that my natural swing could indeed produce a good shot without any tinkering.

Unfortunately, that testing was while I was going through a period of trying out a swing experiment with a Natural Golf type short backswing, no wristcock, type of swing.  It was very accurate, but not very far.  I would deloft the clubface a lot, but the speed was fairly low on my swing speed radar. 

I've recently gone back to my original swing because I reached my goal of a new Personal Best (84) with that experimental swing a couple of weeks ago.   It is much more conventional, with a big wristhinge, full backswing and much higher mph.  Unfortunately the FST Pro Silvers which were great for my funky natural golf swing now cause my shots to balloon big time, so I need to go through this shaft experiment all over again with my new swing and see what emerges as the favorite this time.

Dayum! 

In Flames'll do that to ya.
