Hey All,
My name is Andrew and I am a golf-aholic...

Anyhow, just starting into golf this year after several years of playing infrequently. I am working hard to shoot bogey golf a couple times this year.

I enjoy building my own clubs, and play at least once a week, usually with a group of other hackers from work.

Found this site a few weeks ago and really enjoyed both the blogs and the forum conversations. Looking forward to contributing as best as I can.

Andrew

Welcome to the center of the internet-golf-universe

Maybe we can convince Erik to open a separate folder for clubmakers. I don't do it myself (two left hands ) but I do play around with different components in my clubs getting them put together by others...

actually - this is a long story - I probably will get yelled at by Erik by steering off the thread

Last february while playing in MB the weigth cartridge from my 510 flew out during a tee shot. Tee box was surrounded by tall rough, we never found it. Since I had the 510 with aldila in the garage - I didn't worry about it too much (almost selling for nothing the fuji shaft in the meantime... lucky I didn't). Couple weeks ago I had a golfoholic-impulse-buy... while shopping for gloves and balls at golfsmith.com some unexplained force clicked on the graffaloy bimetrix prototype pink shaft... I've no idea how that happen . Anyway - now I needed a clubhead. I sent my "weightless" driver to TM and they fixed it. Last night I went for a quick 9 after work and hit both drivers... and I noticed the fuji gives so much softer feel at impact, truely a butterly feel besides this head is 9.5, the one with aldila is 8.5 - trajectory was so much better - I forgot how much I liked this shaft! To finish that long story - I decided to re-shaft the 8.5 head, since the bimatrix promises higher launch than "usual" shaft - that should be a good experiment. The old trusty Fuji is back in service and doing well

      7 Wood

      I tried hybrids way back when Titleist introduced the orange copper Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
