Designing a Golf Club IV

I did it. Putter head complete.

This design is called Cazador Mustang. Cazador meaning Hunter in Spanish (my high school nickname), and Mustang being my high school mascot. 

This design was milled from aluminum in Georgia, by PrintForm. It’s my dads father day gift. I need to paint the logo and the words and that top arrow and then it will be done.

I have a shaft from GolfWorks that I’ll be epoxying soon, and then I’ll be installing a grip. I can’t wait to give it to my dad!

More stuff like this to come!

That's cool. 
Have you ever done paint infill? 
It's not too difficult if you haven't. 

 

My only suggestion is to have added a pair of weight ports. Perhaps one on each of the meaty areas at the toe and heel. That way you could have added in stand size weights (sold through Amazon and/or Golf works) to adjust the weight. Currently if you pops wants different weighting you'll have to drop lead or tungsten shot down the shaft and push a cork down the shaft to keep it in place. 

Keep us posted on the progress. 

It's very cool and definitely a unique and personalized gift.

I think it's around the low three hundreds -- like 312 or something. We've installed the shaft, but not the grip, and it still feels too light. Hopefully the grip (a jumbo sized one) will give it a little more heft.

The plan is to do paint infill once we've got it all set up. I've got a set of microbrushes and some paint at home, so that's the next step. 

I agree on weight ports. I wasn't sure how this design was going to look or feel, and I wanted a prototype that was as simple as possible. The next design will probably have weight ports tho.

Swing weight will be low. That’s what I’m asking. Probably should’ve been 350 or so?

Yeah, agreed. I should've made it closer to 350. My dad plays a light-ish putter, so while its a departure from his norm, its not too bad. The next one I make will be closer to proper weight

I've used the same technique this guy uses and it's really pretty easy.

      I think if I could hit a 2nd shot when I did not like the result from the 1st I am sure I would get some lower scores.  I guess the idea is to mentally put yourself in a position where you need to make a really great shot, not just a good shot.  For example, hitting from the lie next to the creek his 1st chip was, in my view, pretty good but it was not "Great" in his opinion so he tried to do better on the mulligan, but he failed and was farther from the hole. I see myself doing this more on the range.  For example, after a period of practice I will mentally say I need to hit 4 good shots in a row.  I start with a Driver and if that is good then I do a 3 Hybrid followed by a pitch with a wedge and finally by a short chip.  If any shot is "Bad" I have to start over.

      That’s how I interpreted it. You’re giving yourself two mulligans on every shot. Yea it’s just a variation of getting used to scoring low. I’m curious how valuable that practice is. I guess for some people they feel mounting pressure from playing a string of holes well? I’m kind of the complete opposite TBH. Once I start putting together good holes, I get a little swagger and if anything I get overconfident. I start thinking I can hit the green from anywhere, I can hit my driver to the smallest of targets, and everything inside of 10’ is going in. None of that is true, of course, and I inevitably will hit a miss that brings me back down to earth.

      I saw this video yesterday, couldn't figure out what he meant, then saw this thread and thought "oh maybe someone knows what he was talking about" and you guys are in the same place as me.  I *think* what he's suggesting is that you play a game such that going low is expected. He said there are different variations of it. I think his variation is you get three goes at a shot. You hit your first shot and it's good enough, then you just take it. If it's not good enough then you can abandon that shot and play another. If you still don't like it, you can hit it a third time, but then you're stuck with it. He's good enough that three goes at a shot ought to give him one that's good enough to move on. He did mention his parameters for what counts as "good enough", although I do note that he should have hit a third go on that pitch from the hazard based on that. He holed the putt though so it worked out in the end. I think if you're not as good as he is (which let's face it is everyone here and virtually everyone on the planet), then you'd adjust those rules to make it such that you might manage to make 5 birdies in a row. So maybe you play a two ball scramble with yourself and if you don't like either one then you can abandon those and hit a third or you play a three ball scramble or whatever it is that you need to make your standard work.  At its base though, it's just like going out and playing from the front tees or playing a scramble with yourself. The goal is to gain comfort with making lots of birdies and going way under par, so that when you find yourself in that situation in a real game, you don't panic. It's an interesting variation and if I ever got to play "for fun" at my home course, then I'd definitely try it.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      Timing yes, feeling maybe not exactly 😉 Weight shift forward can start as early as A3. Weight shift is a lateral sway.
