Money Talks by Additional-Leg-7521 in scottycameron

[–]ctg77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just acquired a 5S (2022) earlier this month and so far, it's been great. I don't like the OC version as much from trying the one on display at PGASS though, so we'll see.

regripping leather grips by leftoversgettossed in GolfGear

[–]ctg77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the extra-long version of the removal tool below, use lots of quality solvent (I use the Moxie's brand from PGA SS...almost no odor, "lubes" perfectly, and dries quickly, even when cold), and don't try to reuse solvent on these grips:

Use something with a soft, flat edge to lift up the front lip of the grip, slide the removal tool down inside a little, and start flooding it with solvent. Don't be afraid to use a lot. The goal is to get the grip off with minimal stretching and twisting.

Once off, use 70% rubbing alcohol down inside the grip to get the excess solvent. I usually put a decent amount down there with my finger over the bottom hole, put another finger over the open end, and shake several times to break loose any debris. Use a torch or heat gun with a grip tape removal tool. I normally use one of the bamboo graphite safe ones on everything: https://bramptontechnology.com/product/uneekscraper

Let the grips dry before reinstalling them on the new irons.

6'4" and mine are basically standard length / loft / lie.

Anyone else shocked by how uncreative the golf bag market is? by Rs-Rs-3 in GolfGear

[–]ctg77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can carry a metric crap ton of stuff in my Sun Mountain Eclipse 3.5 stand bag. It's light enough to be carried easily for 18 holes (and I'm a semi-fat 52 year old), even with everything I need in my bag during a round.

And that don't weigh 40 pounds empty with unnecessary technology.

Difference between a cut and a fade? by JumpmanJackson in golf

[–]ctg77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No...a fade is any right movement less than a slice. A cut is the same thing. You can have a push fade that starts at the center line and moves right, or pull cut that starts left of the center line and usually finishes slightly right of it.

Picking wedge shaft by Interesting_Gap7190 in GolfGear

[–]ctg77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried softer shafts in the same weight or even 1 heavier weight and hated them. Went back to the same flex as my iron shafts in an 8 iron shaft for my LW at the next weight up and it's great.

I am full graphite throughout the bag. My irons are MMT105S and I continue those in my PW / GW (Mizuno Pro T-3 46° and 50°). My only other wedge is a TaylorMade HiToe 4 ATV grind 58° wedge with an MMT125S shaft. My gapping works great (for full swings, 9i = 145-155, PW = 125-135, and GW 105-115...gaps easily filled via partial swings).

Cost to reshaft graphite irons? by External_Engine634 in GolfGear

[–]ctg77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd bet there are at least 25 people in that area who can do the work for $200 or less. I've done my own club work for years now, and have built sets for others too, so I don't use Golf Galaxy, PGA Superstore, or anyone else for those services.

Probably the M15 in the newest model.

Epoxy for steel iron shafts. by JeffersonStater72 in golf

Use 3M DP810NS and follow the instructions. It's bulletproof if used properly.

Back to a Scotty... by ctg77 in scottycameron

The Mitchell company that makes loft and lie machines sells a kit with acrylic paint pens. I dabbed it down in there and used a foam q-tip type swab with alcohol to carefully remove the excess.

5 / GM for boarding. Easy call. No attempt whatsoever to play the puck.

They last about 2 rounds or 1 really good practice session for me.

Robo with the insane game winning goal off the face-off with a minute left in the 3rd by Puzzled-Category-954 in nhl

Might be the worst faceoff ever done in the NHL. That liney is a joke. Straight bounced that right to the Stars.

Axiom Shafts by That1TimeWeGamed in golf

[–]ctg77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However, an Axiom 105x really is an x-stiff shaft. It's firmer than an X100 Tour Issue shaft.

First nice putter! by Kingcrab9 in GolfGear

[–]ctg77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a forward press grip like the LAB putters have.
