Grum's bag.

The V1 with the fubuki flights a good bit higher than the v2/6z08, but the lack of spin is great, it just goes. The V2/6z08 doesn't spin a whole lot either, but it is easier to turn over. Distance wise there's not alot between them, you just have to decide how you want to get the ball out there, or what'd suit the conditions/course that day. Eg links on a windy day, I'd take the 6z08 any day. Parkland, no wind, and lots of things to carry? fubuki every day of the week.

All Sonartec heads are nice to be fair, i just cant find anything better than mine so no point in spending out regardless of the price if mines nutted every time...

 

Stop praising the V1/fubuki so much! Makes me want to try it even more every time you mention it lol... Still not happy with mine...

[Grum]

Do you still have the V1 with the blueboard? sure I could get my paws on another fubuki ;)

[projamie]

No i let that go, head wasnt open enough for me, plus the blueboard spun way too much... I like the proto i have, i think its the head, fade bias and open... i think the shaft would work well in a titleist... wouldnt want to bore it so im thinking of pulling it and putting it in a D3....

[Grum]

Find a 905R(still the best titleist out IMO) and blind bore it, sorted. Solid, solid driver, costs....bugger all.

[mat562]

Agreed.

 

1/2" blind boring the bore through Titleist drivers is something I always do with my own clubs. A lot easier to get the desired flex and the shaft to play properly.

 

My Titleist back-up driver is a belter. A 905S with a pullout Grafalloy Blue in it. Cracking driver and, as Grum so eruditely puts it, it cost bugger all. :D

[Grum]

1/2" blind bore you say mat? thats a bit shallow ;)

 

1 1/2" and I'll agree :D I have 2 identical 905T's, and i payed less than 40 quid for them. still nice heads, although not amazingly forgiving.

[Grum]

Couple of pics, just for jamie ;)

 

 

 

[mat562]

1 1/2"?

 

That's a standard bore Grum. At least it used to be before the clubheads reached watermelon-like size. :D

 

In truth, I've done them at 1" in the past too, but 1/2" is what's in my 905S. Aside from the performance advantages it's less hassle than poncing about with through-boring it when you put it together.

 

The aluminium sleeves on the later models are the work of the devil. Along with the bore through remake of the PT fairway woods and their impossible to get hold of .295 tip Dynamic Golds, someone at Titleist clearly has a deep seated hatred for anyone who does club work...

[Grum]

I'm intrigued that you've built them at 1/2", thats pretty shallow. I imagine you'd need some tipping to get them to play to flex. And with that crappy aluminium hosel, all the stress is now on it, it has no support from the body of the clubhead, like it does if you go past 1". You're at risk of the hosel failing(they really are as soft as shite), as some poor soul had happen with his ~$1k 907D4 recently(a quick search will find that one, ouch!)

[projamie]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM :man_in_love:

 

After the way ive just hit my burner that was just what i needed to see lol... The thing is i know its not the shaft, the head just isnt no good for me....

 

BTW the 905t was the best driver ive ever owned aswell... 9.5* Speeder X... Nutted every time... Shaft was good but the head was just money every time...

[Grum]

afraid i won't be flogging it, too nice a combo :D

[mat562]

T'other 1/2" Grum... from the bottom son. ;)

[Grum]

Ahar. That'd make more sense.

 

I go 1 1/2" from the top, which happens to be roughly 1 1/2" from the bottom too :D

[mat562]

Must be a Yorkshire thing.

 

I always had it drilled into me that a blind bore was always to be 1/2" up from the deck when shafting up a wood.

[Grum]

It can be any depth, its a blind bore because its not a thru-bore :D atleast, thats my understanding. I always do them at 1.5" anyway.

[mat562]

Very true mate.

 

But my 'mentor' had it that a 'standard' blind bore (if that makes sense) is to be 1/2". 'And if they want 'owt else they 'ave to ask fer it.'

[Qegurezi]

Thanks Grum, excellent information.

[Grum]

Anytime. I aim to please :D

[projamie]

Do you AM at the target aswell

 

BTW have a set of LTs... um i mean CBs for sale if your interested... and reading all that blind bore, thru bore, bore bore, no bore, lots of bore is hurting my mind lol...

[Grum]

barsteward.

[Roland]

:cheesy:

[Grum]

Throw a set of adams pro gold into the mix....Just got to pay for them first :D

[projamie]

You know im your man for Adams lol, what you after?!

[Grum]

got a set of heads off the BST, not to worry jamie. Although I didn't know you could get adams stuff?

[projamie]

:secret: lol... Anything Adams... Was going to say have a set 3-Pw going soon with no hybrids PX 6.5 and 18* hybrid VS proto 80-X ;)

 

Where you think your XTD Pro came from?

 

Never mind, but anything in the future :friends:

[Grum]

this is a 3-PW set my man ;)

 

Although if you can get any adams stuff head only, we need to talk business sometime!

[projamie]

Not sure actually, can order things with almost any shaft though, they have said yes to everything ive enquired about so far... I did order a set with 3-PW all irons, PX 6.5 (non flighted), GP tour velvet round... Waited 7 weeks due to some complications but got them through weeks after they should have been, 3 & 4 hybrid regular flex :russian_roulette: DD2 grips, PX 5.5 Flighted, tour velvet ribbed.... :black eye:

 

I checked my order so someone must not have been concentrating :drag:

 

Tour guy i work with ordered his and was spot on and with him in a week... Hmmm, where did i leave my tour card?

[Grum]

Interesting. Need to prod them about head only sometime :P Purely because you don't trust anyone building your own clubs other than yourself, ofcourse :P

 

Worth a go LOL

 

Do fancy a progold hybrid at somepoint to be honest....not this month though. Now skint as a skint thing.

[projamie]

Yea i enquired about a Progold hybrid the other day... If you dont have any money then you need to PUT THE BRAKES ON! :cheesy:

 

Im playing tomorrow but ill make a call at some point and see if theyll hook me up some head only stuff... The new Pugullli or however you spell it look sweet at adress, really square toe and they sit nice to the ground, similar sole camber to the irons... Shame they are ruined by the stupid yellow spaceship on the back... shame because they really do look nice at adress....

 

And i know what you mean, theres only a few select people i will let touch my clubs now lol, and im one of them lol.

 

Anything you need let me know... maybe work out some kind of Diamana/Accra - Adams deal lol
