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.

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.

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.

      Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits.

      For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
