I'm a major tinkerer, and I love to mess with clubs. So basically, I would like to present to you guys a video on how to stamp a golf club. Does anyone else alter with their clubs? I can't stand still with an old wedge and grinder in front of me.

I got a number and alpha stamp kit. Its cool, but some metals are just too hard to use them on. (eg. some ss putters)

Nice work Forest and congrats on the presentation. Very clear, entertaining and bonus points for the fast-forward section on the repetitive stuff. I for one will probably just keep my existing wedges for a couple more years and then buy wahtever is available. I figure that by then the wizzes at the club companies will come up with new ways to increase spin whether it be ball technology or more of the grooved faces,

Yeah, I hope so. I wish that the CC's could be for those people playing in vital tournaments, and they could keep the spin milled in play for amatuer's and weekend warriors.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
