So, I did a trade with a fellow 'Sand Trap' member my Ogio Schling bag (used) for a Ping Craz-e putter and an R7 Quad driver (both used). The trade was good, I think it worked out well for both of us. John was great to work with and got the stuff shipped out very fast. The driver was a little dinged up, so I gave it my own custom paint job. I'm a WSU grad, so I went with a Crimson / Gray color scheme - what do you guys think?

DUDE! That's awesome! I have a Team Effort Cougar bag, and a bunch of other WAZZu stuff in my bag, but that driver is totally original and cool. How did you do that? - You couldn't have just freehand-painted it on? Could you?

GO COUGS!

That's really cool... you did an amazing job. Did you use clearcoat?

...maybe I should paint mine Huskies purple

Nice.

I played with a guy who had a custom paint job of a naked lady mural on the top of his driver. It was amazingly well done...distracting, but well done.

Whoever came up with the saying, "A bad day of golf is better than a good day at work", is a moron.

That's really cool... you did an amazing job. Did you use clearcoat?

I sanded it using various grades of sand-paper and masked off then primed it with an automotive spray paint primer. I masked off the top of the driver and sprayed about 3-4 (light) coats of automotive spray paint that I found at my local auto parts store. The sharp line for the divider between the gray / crimson was done by masking with a hobby masking tape, it's thinner and designed to go around curves better.

The logos were done with some water-slide 'print your own decals' paper also from the hobby store. The paper I got was for laser printers, but I think you can find paper for ink-jet printers online, too. I hunted around on the internet and found vector art for the 'cougar head' and the 'Washington State' banner logo. I added the script 'cougars' part by auto-tracing a bitmap logo using my favorite drawing program (CorelDraw X4). I put a few coats of clear gloss (once again, automotive spray paint) over all the painted parts. It was a fun little project (my wife thinks I'm a bit crazy sometimes, maybe a little loopy from paint fumes ). I would do a few things differently next time, but overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm glad you guys like it. ... if anyone wants a custom paint job, PM me and let's talk.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
