During the last couple of days of rain, my Pure Pro grips arrived, so I have changed the grips on all my clubs. I tried finding out which shaft butt size my clubs had, but with variable success. Either way, I ordered .600 grips. When changing grips, I measured the size so I got them if needed later. They varied from .600 to .625, but I don't feel any difference when holding the clubs. Couldn't measure any difference with the grips installed either.

Pure advertise how easy it is to change grips with their air gun and grips that don't need tape. They sure got that right. Removing the old grips though, took some time, having to cut up all the grips Especially the tape took some time to remove. On my 5 wood, the tape was really hard, I had to scrape it off with a piece of plastic. Installing the new grip took me 10-15 seconds, no tape, no fuss. This is definitely the way to go in the future, I will never use tape again.

I play 9 holes today, testing the grips, also without a glove. I have been thinking about trying to get rid of the glove, since I have found that I don't really need one. Now that I got all new grips on every club, it seemed like a good time to try it. My game was OK, I hit a couple of poor shots which messed up the score a bit, but all in all it was fine. The main even today was to test the grips and how I played without a glove. Both tasks was successful. The grips are very nice, not too tacky, but got that good rubber feeling.

I've been playing with some 2006-07 Pro V1s I ordered two years ago. Bought 108 balls, so it takes some time to get rid of. The balls are nice, but they are too soft and short. I'm not a very long hitter, so I'll need every yard I can get. My game is much better now, so I don't lose balls all that often anymore. Guess I'll just leave the V1s be and find a new ball to play.

PURE Grips really are nice. On the plus side, you won't change them for a year or longer, and there won't be any tape to undo when you're done.

Your shafts are probably all .600. There are basically .580 and .600.

There will of course be some variations in the exact diameter. When I regripped and measured each shaft, my Project X shafts, which I know is, and measured to .600 were the smallest of them. The largest were around .625, which the brand site also said it was. I don't feel any difference from the largest to the smallest anyways.

Not having to go through the tape process again is a relief (until I buy new clubs of course).

I don't think the shafts go to .625. .600 - http://www.royalprecision.com/royalp...n/projectx.asp .

Not the Project X shafts.

Irons: 1.53cm - 0.602
Wedges: 1.545cm - 0.608
3 wood: 1.55cm - 0.610
Driver: 1.56cm - 0.614
Hybrid: 1.58cm - 0.622
5 wood: 1.6cm - 0.623

My slide caliper may not be state of the art, but there was no doubt all the other shafts were larger than the Project X'.

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
