no tell me its not so. I skipped out of english class it was my 6th period class and I went to play golf.  So now I write for a living but glad to see english teachers still watching over me. I did realize I was going to get graded.  Play more golf and let the little stuff go.

Parallel tip shafts can be, and are meant to be tip trimmed, then butt trimmed for length.  Oh....I assume you are still talking about irons????  Taper tip shafts are meant to be butt trimmed only for length.  They can be hard or soft stepped though, not by trimming, but by moving the shaft up or down from their intended club head. For example, installing a 5 iron shaft into a 6 iron head would be soft-stepping.  Parallel shafts would just be trimmed, as in cut for a 5, but installed into a 6.

Do you really want to go with metallurgy of golf clubs, kind of boring.  I think most of us is well past what is forged and cast but do try to keep up

I am actually hooked!  I want to keep posting, just to see what idiotic things you are going to come out with next.  Good luck with that writing career, honestly.

The forged CB most forged body with a face insert or boxed in. The modified cavity or MC are forged.  For the most part I consider the CBs either modified or cast.

Didn't realize I was talking to a fitter thanks for the more detailed information even though I didn't ask. glad to see your are keeping up. thanks for the information if I play trivia any time soon I'll have those answers.  Maybe.  I can bring you my clubs next time for re shafting.

They are really smooth.  Not a lot of feed back, but the same with the titlelist AP2s. The MOI was about perfect. I heard some pros bashing them, most of them I've beat along the way with my cavity backs.  I had blades when I was 12 years old hated the sting from off center hits, still think of them as yesterday technology.  Everyone runs out and buys the new driver technology but not the irons..MC and MB swing MOI is a little low for me but a great club so I have a tendency to pull them a little.  This lower center of gravity with the weight being in the back is perfect instead of in the shaft, gives great feel. I've always felt cast was more forgiving but if all the specs were the same for both the forged or cast you would not be able to tell the difference.  I would say... it felt forged or solid to me.  The sound seem a little different not really noticeable and no performance differences. The TM CBs were more of a forge body with a face insert.  a little smaller face. Great club but TM is no longer making them r11 took its place and a couple of hundred cheaper.  I've hit both and the R11 is maybe a little more forgiving and I play in a pros game on Saturday, need to get the yardage down before I use them.  Using a cast club around them is like going to church and calling mother Theresa  a  *****. Some are using the AP2s which is a modified forge club.

R11,s and CB,s are both quality sets.Having said that I tried out both and preferred the feel of the CB,s.Any club that u hit bad is gonna give u feed back either thru vibration or loss of distance.IMHO it,s all about what u prefer,just make sure u get fitted and I guess a lesson or two.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
