I have a set of tour edge v-blades that I need lengthened... Easy question I need to go +1"... So would extensions be okay or should I get new shafts... Secondly my lies need to be adjusted to 2° upright... Tour Edge quoted me $29 a club (new shafts, lie adjustment, new grips) should I do that or take them to the golf shop and have the adjustments made with the extensions?

At one inch, I'd get the set redone if you're a serious player.

$29 is a decent price for all of that - I assume the shaft is the typical DGS300. I would also have them adjust loft while adjusting lie.

However, and there is always a "however," you may not get the consistency you want in terms of specs between clubs by the typical OEM. They generally do not spine/flo or go for frequency consistency between shafts, and do not give you a large choice of shafts.

If you are keeping those irons and playing competitively, I would go to a reputable professional club maker for a fitting, shaft selection, and rebuild. You will, however, pay more than $29 for a professional club maker to get a quality rebuild.

I'm probably gonna go with s300 or x100... I could get project x 6.5, kbs tour s or x or pure feel steel x... Tour edge has choices... They are excellent clubs... I'm a 10 handicap by the way

Oh, yes, they are excellent clubs, but that does not mean they do excellent club work. You want consistent shaft frequencies, and typically, that is really tough to do w DG shafts, which are weight sorted. Frequencies can be all over the place and frequently are all over the place. Also, adjusting the lie affects the loft so one must always check both to make certain they are correct. Also, have you had grip size checked? I was surprised to learn I needed two wraps - thought my hands were fairly normal, and grip has a big effect on swing.

The short answer is that if you want it done to exacting standards, you need a real professional.

Check this guy out as an example. He is a perfectionist.  Just north of Boston, not inexpensive, but he gives you great work and will do it by mail. Lots of forum guys use him.

I checked him out... kind of out of my price range right now... but I agree with you... he knows what he's doing... TourEdge has a lifetime warranty on their clubs... so I may go that route or get the shafts myself... and get them done locally... I found a guy just outside of town that is supposed to be the best in the area... and will do ir for just slightly more than TourEdge... but it evens out because of what it costs for shipping

It's possible to match shaft frequencies with DG, but someone would have to go through a batch of them to locate eight which were pretty close to the same frequency.

One custom club guy said he would start with 12 DG initially, and then select the eight which were closest on frequency match. (If frequency differences were really high, he would test more shafts to try to get closer). I'm not sure what his "quality control" cutoff was for close on frequency match.

Focus, connect and follow through!

well Dynamic Gold X100 was where I was going to go... however... I was thinking of staying on the True Temper template and going with Black Gold can still get X-flex... but very hard to come by...

    • Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.  
    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
