thanks for all the comments guys.  Like I said I am eventually going to redo it white.  I just thought it would be cool to do something different.  And surprisingly its not distracting at all(to me atleast) when hitting it.

Very impressive.

Its not bad for me, I was going to get a small skull and crossbone sticker to put where the arrows were but ran out of time.  I put lines on all my golf balls though so I line up my tee shots and putts with that line so thats what I focus my eyes on.

That looks pretty cool, nice work. What kind of paint did you use and was there any prep work done to the driver before applying the paint? If it holds up I would consider painting my dinged up driver white as well.

Great job! I think it looks really cool! So would you say it is just as durable as the stock finish?? Also, be sure to post pics of the white version!!

I used a lacquer paint and it holds up really well minus the trip back from florida with 3 big suitcases on it.  As far as prep I used a mouse hand sander to take the factory paint off and then used 2000 grit over it all to make sure it was nice and smooth.  Then I used a primer and started in with my first color.  I put a clear lacquer over it all but because there are so many layers of paint I think it made the finish not as perfect as I would like.  But the first coat was perfect so when I do it in white I think its going to come out a million times better and hold up better if ever beaten up on.

Thanks guys, I have a g15 3 wood so I am probably going to do that white first.  Maybe this weekend I will do it.  I will post up pics when I do.

Nice work.  I hate camo but I love digital camo.  Loosing the head aim when hitting out of a wooded lie might make it difficult to hit it on the screws

      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.

      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.
