Sdrum

I played the X yesterday and will continue to game them for sometime. I had to take one out of play after it got scuffed from hitting the cart path on the third hole. I played the next ballfor the rest of the round, including two bunker shots, and it held up fine. I will continue to use that ball for my next round. No scuffs are serious signs of wear. Earlier this year I've played the 25 ProV1x, and the prior generations of Maxfli X and Wilson Staffs. I like all of these balls, and the Mizuno Pro X is comparable in all regards from what I can tell. I really want to try to latest Wilson Staff X, just waiting for a sale or discount...

Thanks, Stuart and sorry I wasn't clear. These were pulls from a previous build of mine. I know I didn't use extensions but I've come across that fun surprise before with an ebay purchase. I used these shafts in project a few years back, and don't have my notes from then. The deeper I get in this project, the more obvious it becomes that I need to look under the hood. Thanks again for your input! Love this community for contributions from the likes of you and Howard.

Thanks, Howard! Yes, my measurements were with pulled shafts with grips still installed, and a taped ferrule to get as close as I can. I was hoping to not have to take the grips off, but maybe I'll have to do that. I'll check the play lengths and grips as you suggest and give it a another go. I haven't adjusted loft and lie yet. I intended to get these adjusted back to original spec after the shafts are assembled. I didn't think 8 gram head weight increments was anything crazy. I refer to this PDF (https://advancedballstriking.com/Swing_weights.pdf) as a baseline, albeit it is old. It illustrates 7 gram increments in the irons with a constant D0 SW. Thanks again!

I am using this approach for an upcoming build, and in my dry calculations I am getting D3 for most of the clubs which is what I'm after. But the 6 iron and 9 iron balance points "fall out of the pattern" from the rest of the set, giving me D5 results. For example, the total weight of the 5 iron is 416 grams. The 6 iron is 424 grams. But, the balance point for each are very close to each other: 735 and 734 mm respectfully. Head weights average about 8 grams from one club to the next, and the cut shaft weights are all within 1 to 2 grams of each other. I really can't figure out why these two clubs have extremely different balance points. Does anyone have any insights on this?

BUCHI KeNny Design.

I recently got these Buchi VS200+ heads. I love the unique design. I'm trying to fall in love with the blue finish. I'm not a fan of being too flashy and these buchis are flashy enough without the blue. I may want to see if I can remove it. Anyway, I was curious what finish this is any way. Gun Blue?
