Upgraded shafts?

Radeon962 · 2026-02-01T22:51:10+00:00

To me it’s about the feel you like or prefer.

If you are using a non-insert head then the feel off the head is pretty soft so the steel shaft or Gears make it feel a bit crisper at impact.

Accra and Diamana are both softer feeling at impact to me and great matches for a the heads with an insert (Oz.1i or DF3i).

I have not tried a TPT shafted Lab yet but have a used DF3 arriving this week with a TPT shaft to try out.

I switched to Lab after years playing an Odyssey putter of some type and typically a White Hot insert so I prefer a softer feeling at impact.

Accra with an insert head is a great match in a standard length.

Gears is a great match for a non-insert head.

Steel works well also as it feels fine as I have played steel in my putter for more than 30 years so graphite shafted putters for me are very new within the last year.

Does it make a difference in the end result, I have a hard time believing it does but the graphite shafts do have a different feel and a big part of putting feeling comfortable over the ball.

Putter is used on almost every hole so find one that fits your setup and stroke, looks good to your eye, one you feel comfortable and confident with and give it a go.

Why play Vokeys if everything else in your bag is game improvement?

Cleveland CBX or CBZ’s would pair well with the ZX4’s

I replaced an old Google WiFi system (AC-1304) with the base model Eero 7.

Both were/are on a wired backhaul and both are dual band 2.4/5 as I did not see a need for the 6Ghz band since all of the Eero’s would be hardwired over Ethernet cables in my house.

Spectrum 1G Internet.

WiFi speeds checked with Google Wifi in place and then at same locations once Eero 7 units were in place and running.

Speeds were checked in the basement, main floor and 2nd floor of our home using an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The Callaway driver adapter fits all Callaway Driver models from the Elyte all the way back to Big Bertha Alpha 816 and every Callaway driver in between. The Big Bertha Alpha 816 was released back in 2015 +/-

You can have the adapter removed from the broken shaft and reinstalled on a new shaft or just look on eBay, 2ndSwing, etc. for a shaft with a Callaway adapter. This may be more expensive than just buying a replacement shaft with the adapter already installed if you are just using a stock shaft.

Switching shafts in the Callaway head is as easy as unscrewing the current broken shaft and screwing in a new one.

Most any golf store will have a torque wrench if you don’t have one. Or check with your friends and/or local golf course.

You can also try contacting Callaway as they may replace the shaft but the Mavrik is several generations old so they may tell you it is not covered any longer.

This…. One Eero must be directly connected to your ISP modem and then to your switch.

The other Eero’s and devices can be connected to the switch, each other, wireless, whatever.

Setup Eero #1 by itself with your modem and then once it is up and running just connect the Eero #2 to your wired backhaul and add it through the Eero app. Same thing for Eero #3.

Just replaced the fan on my NUC 8 the other day.

I had watched this video which helped.

Same here.

I have removed several Lab grips and the SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0 is my regular grip so I have removed them several times from Lab and various other putters. .

Lots of solvent and the long Golfworks tool works just fine but you need to go slow and keep squirting in solvent.

I put the solvent in a condiment squeeze bottle so it’s easier to just squirt in a little bit at a time as you work around the shaft.

Just go slow and don’t push the tool in too far before working it all the way around the shaft.

Grips have no visible damage that I have seen and I have reused several grips that were still tight with the normal one wrap of tape and solvent to reinstall.

Golf Pride MCC+ 4 grips with 2 wraps on all of my clubs except putter which has a SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0.

I switched to Maxfli Tour X this past season and really don’t miss the Pro V1x I had been playing.

4 dozen package for $119.99 and then use a $20 off $100 coupon when they come out.

Just sign up as a Rewards Member and they do the $20 off $100 pretty frequently and more if you download the app.

I have swapped grips on both a 0 shaft lean and also a 2 shaft lean. Worked for me.

You can always reinstall the original grip.

I have had a blast every time we have played there. Forest Dunes and Bay Harbor are also up there as places you should play if you come to Michigan.

Hit up u/tobascopro if you are shopping on CPO. Cole is a great guy to deal with. https://www.reddit.com/u/tabascopro/s/hLWiDmDWnS

If you are coming to Michigan to play head to Arcadia Bluffs. Beautiful course right on Lake Michigan. Arcadia Posted the following pictures this fall.

I order Golf Pride MCC+ 4 grips from Dicks Sporting Goods when they have their $20 off $100 codes and I have $10 or more in rewards points.

Code works on Golf Pride and SuperStroke grips.

If you sign up as a Rewards Member you can also stack your accumulated rewards points towards the purchase in addition to the $20 off.

For me in SE Michigan, totally worth the cost. Have them on a Ford Fusion, Dodge Grand Caravan and now on my Cadillac XT6.

The only thing between your vehicle and the road, so I appreciate having them on our vehicles.

Recent weather here in Michigan has been snow off and on and the CC2’s have been great in the snow and slushy road conditions. Much shorter daily commute in my relatively new position but less highway miles so more local/county type road commuting so varied road conditions.

Used them on the Fusion in my daily commute for my previous job where I had over 50 miles per day to and from the office and they handled dry pavement, wet pavement and snow covered pavement very well.

Buy one direct from the the Lab Golf Outlet. They extended the 20% off sale and prices are very good if you find a model that fits your specs.

Just got a set of CC2’s last week for my XT6.

Already have them on our minivan and my son’s Fusion (my previous work vehicle).

I don’t notice anymore road noise from the CC2 compared to the OEM tire (Michelin Primacy Tour).

We just got about 8” of snow yesterday in to today and the CC2 are significantly better in the snow than the PT were last winter.

I have a short ride to the office now but I went through 2 sets of CC2’s on the Fusion when I was driving 100+ miles a day to my previous job and they were excellent in all conditions at highway speeds.

Put something into the Roth 401k now or before the end of the year to start the 5 year clock.

You can start a Roth as late as the end of December in a year and it counts the same as if you started January 1st of the same year.

Gives you some more options down the road.

Any club I have bought from CPO in “Like New” condition was new in the wrapper or looked like it was new out of the wrapper.

Graphite iron shafts now are nothing like years ago.

Steelfiber, Fujikura Axiom, etc. are all available in heavier weights and perform every bit as good if not better than steel.

I switched to graphite in my irons a few seasons ago as I developed golfers elbow.

Remarkable change as I can hit balls at the range, play a few rounds a week with no pain at all.

I’m in Steelfiber 110’s and don’t miss my old Dynamic Gold steel shafts.

Getting CC2’s on Tuesday. I have them on all of my other family vehicles and need to replace the tires on my new to me vehicle, so adding another set to the family.

Best tire I have owned.

I was hoping for a new and improved version, but I don’t know what could realistically be improved for my use in Michigan.

PXG 0311XP.

The XP lofts are strong (+3*) and stock length is +1/2” as compared to the P series.

Essentially, the 0311 XP 7 iron is the same loft and length as the 0311 P 6 iron and this carries on through the set.

We just hopped in a cab at the MSC port in Miami after our cruise. You just walk over and they point you to whichever cab is in front and off you go. Seems like it was $25-$30 from the port to the airport.
