What did you get for Christmas

whats in my drawers golf talk 12/26/23 by popular demand on TUESDAY not monday at 530 pm eastern. talking golf club reviews, golf club fittings and golf club repairs AND what we got for christmas

Welcome to what’s in my George golf talk this is the Christmas edition we’re on a different day got lots to talk about what did you get for Christmas let’s talk about all that Next welcome back to what’s myors golf talk Jim MC clear here and what’s myores why because old Club makers and Club Fitters are tremendous packrats and it’s all about what’s in my shop over here this time we’ve kind of changed it up because I got to show you something that

I got for Christmas and what we talk about here is Golf Club repairs Golf Club fittings and Golf Club reviews also your scores can go low and let’s just get right into it not a lot of golf to talk about as far as tournament action goes there’s a lot out there about rumor

Control and all that other stuff we’re not here for that this is a holiday episode this is all about good stuff so as usual we get to talk about about the stuff we did uh I was a busy little elf Mrs McGolf and I were getting a lot of

Stuff accomplished fact we just no more than just hit the start button here and a a young man whose nickname is bogy we did we fit him for wedges told him they were done and his birthday is actually tomorrow so we got him some uh christmasbirthday wedges accomplished

And they were some Muno T2 24s and two different grinds and using a uh a nepon shaft and uh for as young as he is he was very very articulate in what he was looking for and it turned out to be a very very good build all right so there’s there’s one

And uh I do have a I have a a three-wood an a wedge and a sand wedge sitting on the rack no I just finish them I got one grip on I need two more grips and I have nothing for the entire year left over although the entire year is is a grand

Total of about three days so here we go so the first one this was a redo these are Munos uh obviously some hot metals and this was from uh a a chiropractor up north that actually hits the ball very good was having a problem with the poles

And he had two sof a shaft maybe a little too much offset that kind of thing and so he opted for a a a re shaft of his current gear and of course as you can tell by the the ferals that he’s an Ohio State fan and and he’s got these so

We redid the set we did redid the set and you can’t tell but those are someon modus and they were a little bit stiffer little stiffer profile so that it would release a little bit more into the ball form instead of kicking uh because he was a smoother swinger uh the previous

Guy had him in in a much softer shaft and it was kicking too early and it was kicking shut and he was hitting these tremendous Hooks and so we we we get him into a profile literally of the same weight but it was a profile that was a

Little bit more for the late releaser and all of a sudden the flight started coming around that’s what we did now we also found out that he liked a club with a lot less offset and that really really did the trick but he didn’t want to go to that

Point so this is what we we got we also settled on some star grips when he was uh fitting he got a hold of the star grips and he got the gray star grip so if you get the gray into the steel into the scarlet and gray and into the silver

A very neutral tone color but it they look really really good now as far as his wife is concerned this was a husband wife team and as you can see they’re up here wh they’re up over here uh this is her set right up in here but it starts

Off with some Callaway Big beras in in the uh not the revas but the big beras and then we got into some Srixon zx4 and and some Cleveland wedges that tended to go that combination is actually very very nice and then uh and

We use some uh Acra I Series in the 50 g range that weight was a big thing for her and uh so there’s what it looks like all together now we the these are the stock shafts on the left and the clubs those are ad

Accents uh accent shafts in the 40 gr I believe and if you can if you see she’s also a star grip fan also and using the same kind only bigger only bigger right so uh now she is a person that she’s very active uh a workout person and just

Took up golf about a year year and a half ago and she was playing with lady stuff and what was happening was she was getting to the point where the the way she it she wasn’t overswinging it but the way that she was releasing into the

Ball again was very very very strong and once we and she was finishing very very very low and so we worked with her and this is the part of the fitting where if you get a guy that knows a enough about the swing to be dangerous that’s me

That we got her swinging through and we got her swinging through and she actually picked up about 3 or four mile an hour just because the the muscle groups that you needed to work were doing that and once I started talking muscle groups she understood exactly what was going on started releasing up

And through and all of a sudden it’s a different ball flight and because of that we needed these different shafts that was going on so instead of peac mealing it we ended up with a a fitted set for and that turned out really really well as well well now in the in

The putter Arena we did find a putter that worked for very well uh but uh we were able to take what she had and I believe we bent it all right the last one is another redo this is a redo of some Munos obviously the 243s the 245s

Are coming out very very shortly and uh this is a another caropractor in Cincinnati Kentucky Region and I’m sorry no that’s not that’s not it’s a different guy this a dude from Mason and uh he got fit and like these heads but the shaft he was given him

Didn’t quite work and I was like well okay so he wanted to say it well I have them here to test with and it was funny he had some Acro shafts but they just virtually did not work so he showed me what he had I let him hit his I put one

Together with this with the TZ shafts in it it’s hard to read here but it’s those are the the TZ shafts and it was night and day different was Jay Kaufman not from Mason he’s the funeral guy oh okay he’s not the funeral guy I I got too many sets

Confused so anyway the uh it was a night and day I I wish I would have made the the video of this part of it but we had his and I bent it correctly with mine bent correctly and just the difference of the shaft was a night and day

Production difference so you know when they say the shaft is the engine of the club they’re absolutely they’re absolutely incorrect it’s the transmission so how do you get your power down to meet that rubber of the road and that was important in this particular instance so he did very very

Very well then we finished him off with some uh some 2G black grips and you know it’s been a while since I’ve done those those things are massively sticky holy cow are they sticky uh and they and they’ve been sitting in the shop for two or three

Days and still sticky and like good gravy these things are great so if you’re looking for something that was massively sticky without a whole bunch of you know texture per se uh I’d give the 2gs a shot alrighty now on to some more fun stuff so I told you last week

That I got a griddle I got a griddle as a Christmas gift from Mrs McGolf and and I we have been absolutely fortunate to have family here for the last three or four days both my sisters their significant others and or their husbands uh I got nieces and nephews I got a

Niece looking at me she’s right here wanting to learn and uh a nephew out there plus another niece and a and a and a new I guess you call him a nephew-in-law so we’ve had we’ve had a a great time with the family and I’m I’m thankful that they’re all here and my

Dad living next door he’s incredibly grateful of Ford as well I know for a fact that he is so anyway when you get family you got to cook right you gotta cook and so we had Christmas meal well wait a minute I got to go back before

That we were testing out the griddle and this where I had Bob’s Hill and the second meal I put on there were Philly cheese steaks I told you I was going to do it I did it there they are so you get to see the onions in the background you

Get to see the Philly cheese steak or the the steak part part of it just starting to get cooked up and that I’m here to tell you it was awesome right just to I mean I hopefully all you guys got a bunch of leftovers are watching this because it’s going to make you

Hungry there’s the there’s the sandwich and uh for a guy who don’t like uh green peppers I’ll eat green peppers in this thing it was really really good all right now back to the food and uh so my littlest sister demanded that would cook and me being lazy in that Arena I said

Sure go ahead knock yourself out and somehow I got wrapped into cooking a a ham while she cooked a turkey so no problem I’m cooking a ham there it is spiry round ham with the glazing on it first time first time I ever done one in

A smoker and the whole intention here is just to heat it up right and we made the glaze and we just kept glazing it and it and it worked out really really really well to the point is my niece is here she she’s not in her head that it was

Really good and there there’s our there’s our layout as you can see the turkey the stuffing deviled eggs some noodles some rolls the traditional stuff and then you get to see here we are sitting in the MC golf shop getting ready to dig in there we are that’s all

Of it right there with the dad at the head of the table as it should be very cool all right so not to be outdone we said well we did all this really cool cooking and I want to do something for them or two of them left so I made

Breakfast so I did some uh bacon and some sausage on the grill and we did pancakes first time doing Pancakes on this thing and uh and that’s what we look like right there turned out pretty good I was really quite surprised they were very thick pancakes the way most

People would like them to be right and uh so there we go all righty so there we are I got to tell you all mine now I’ll get I’ll get it kicked off I got two things I want to tell you number one is and this is the more important of the

Two is that in what is this the 26 so in about five days it will be my 40th wedding anniversary 40th wedding anniversary with Mrs McGolf and we’re going to be on the Bourbon Trail supporting uh supporting that particular Endeavor no we’re going to be it’s the 40th anniversary I can’t believe it’s

Been 40 years and I wouldn’t dream of it being with anybody else so Charlie I know you’re watching this is Mallen number one I’ve had it for a special occasion this is it and my brother-in-law he’s got a little bit too so we’re celebrating this family so there you go Miss McGolf love

You all right next what’ we get for Christmas what’ we get for Christmas so I’m sitting weird like this because this is what I got for Christmas all right you guys know that I got the other one there’s going to be a light on it let’s

See see that one with the light on it that was old Tom Morris by himself uh standing on one of his courses this one H this one here that’s young and young and old Tom standing there getting their picture taken after he’s won a an open I’m sure of some

Variety and what it is is that uh it’s a group it’s if you want to see something more of this it’s called they played in color right and that’s how you the you look up they played in color and what he does is he takes these

Old he takes the old Black and Whites and I went back because I’ve got several history books and I found that that is actually the cover to the uh to Tommy’s story The the movie that they made Tommy’s honor this one and that’s the cover of the that’s the cover of the

Book and it’s in black and white and there’s some poor coloring in there too but it’s awful anyway he’s gone out and and found some Hagen stuff some Bobby Jones stuff some Scotland stuff some old 1920s Ridder cup stuff and taking the time and this is not just something you just punch a

Button and go apparently these different Grays and blacks and whites and and the combinations tell you about the different colors so if you look in this right there so in that young Tom is wearing a brown Tweed where old Tom is wearing a gray and the the

The texture of the suit pops out so dramatically it’s hard not it’s hard not to see it so he they do a very very good job there’s several hundred hours in tuning this up now if you don’t like the golf stuff he’s doing a lot with

Baseball and football uh a lot of the you know original times with the the three-fingered gloves the three-fingered gloves and uh Babe Ruth the Yankees if you go back and look at it uh some Negro League stuff I mean some really impressive histories being done they also he’s been doing some football uh

For college football mostly but he’s got some older uh he did a Green Bay one of the I think it was during the tundra there’s a black and white of a guy from the pack and it there’s a before and after it’s amazing but they got them before they

Were using helmets they have some Army Navy games that were impressive so if you like that they played in color okay so that’s the reason why I’m sitting like this uh the next thing I got and this is too damn funny is blue te’s it’s a

Rangefinder and and and I know Bob and Penny are going oh my God he’s got another Rangefinder to lose and they would not be wrong this is my fourth one in this many as about as so many years but the uh the blue te’s is a uh is

Upand cominging turns out I know somebody that’s in the top in the upper end of it let’s see if I can get you to see in there I see the yeah you can almost see it there’s some there talks about golf anyway it has slope uh it had

I like the red lettering because when you go to look at it in the red lettering you can even during the day you can see the red you know some of them have the black lettering and when you’re in looking into the shade you can’t quite pick it up so I like this

One it’s got a little magnet I’ve already taken everything I can do magnetically and it’s going to go back into the pouch not anywhere I put it before all right so those are the two biggest ones and the last one I’ve got it’s kind of golf related and we got

This together but I got a piece of luggage with my name on it well with the business on it Miss Mrs mcgoff and I both got a uh these are these are uh they go in the overhead baggage for quick trips and they’re made by Club

Glove and Club glove as you know that’s the number one bag for those guys on tour although I prefer the Sun Mountain one for the ease of rolling however these things are basically bulletproof and uh very very nice and with the MC golf label on it it’s not

Going to be uh you know nobody’s going to be going oh hey I think I’ll take that one because you know I’m M golf no that’s so was a good thing so that’s what it was for me so let’s get talking to you guys here we

Charlie how you doing buddy I if you got to see it Mallen number one all righty Bill n received a perfect putting mat for Christmas now there you go that was I was I looked at that one pretty hard and uh because I’ve got a mat here

So but I do I like that perfect putting mat because of all the extra stuff that’s on it you can really I mean if you take it to heart you can really I bet you be end up up being one hell of a putter by you know the start of the

Season John lamb Merry Christmas Happy New Year to everyone hope you all manage to get through Santa’s magic to make all your dreams and wishes come true thank you John same to you sir and there’s Mrs MC golf so we got to tell her whether or

Not she want whether or not we got to get back in time or do we want to do it again on another Tuesday or something along that name that nature Charlie says great rounds to yep oh he was he was she didn’t get she didn’t get all

The uh the golf stuff like I did but yeah John Cherry lab Putters what’s the oh okay what’s the difference uh between the different shafts Tia Acra BG stability La golf which one would you recommend for an arm loock putter well well so all the ones that you’re mentioning here John are

Basically all low torque shafts all right the LA golf is extraordinarily low the bgt started the whole thing that that’s a that’s a known quantity to be sure Acra is what I have in my lab Putter and I’m very happy with it and it is a low torque shaft then this TP the

Tpf is the uh I forget what the name of it but it’s a special made they’re all low torque shs okay uh it it it’s all about at this particular point it’s an extra cost in a lab putter to be sure and then it’s all about weight the

Weight availability and whether or not you want it to be a because they’re not all the same weight like the the bgt I know for a fact in the pro model is 105 versus the other one was 120 I’m not sure the acro was not a 120 either I

Believe the lab golf is and I don’t know what the tpf is so I would ask which one that is so if you’re looking for just a sco more weight I would look at the weights to see what it is the second one and I know it’s kind of weird but is the

Colors right do you want a Black Shaft or a colored Shaft or something along that lines so you would take into that count now personally from a quality control perspective uh I would go between Acra or bgt I only say this because I know just enough

About La golf to be dangerous and I know absolutely nothing about tpf so I can’t recommend them in such a fashion if what I hear about them is true then their quality control should be very very good as well so but as far as uh I would

Check the price I don’t think he can go wrong with any of them based on what they’re supposed to do and see what you want to do cuz arm loock putting I don’t you know it’s you want zero torque in any kind of the putting part of it

Particularly with a lab golf putter with a lab putter uh so you can I don’t think you go wrong with any of them alrighty man the nice rounds yep and she she I mean I tell you what Matt Matt won’t be looking her in the eye for very

Long and she’s not very she’s in the same low teens category as well when she gets in that driving area she’ll be taller than Matt all righty Phil okay man how you doing buddy Happy New Year’s Merry Christmas from Austin Santa gave me a new Sun Mountain

Urah exploring the Philippines happy New Year Merry Christmas to from him to all as as far as a Christmas present I received a white golf shirt which I wanted and did not have well that’s the what that’s what you want man get the stuff that you

Wanted okay Scott Scott got a m b putter pack heavy shaft and head been a while since I assembled clubs will be fun well cool well if you’re looking for any you know I got the the library I can’t show you up in here normally I point up in

Here and there’s a library but uh if we go back in there it’s all about assembling clubs and for a putter it’s not nearly as technically uh as much as like doing a an iron or whatever but uh the same technique still applies for the ab braiding the application of the epoxy

The wiping it down to make it look good you know getting the right Loft lie and length and then having that grip Putters for having that grip straight is super super duper important okay that’s that’s the part you want to get to now in that one putting on a putter grip uh if

You’ve got like a little torpedo level here’s a pro tip uh if you get like a torpedo level and this is the you know this is your Putter and this is the face of the putter you take your torpedo level and you put it on there put a

Band-Aid or a Band-Aid a rubber band around it and just put it on there and then when you put it in your jig and you get it so that bubble aligns and you know you’re squared up and then you can just put your you put your uh putter

Grip on and then you can lay your that same torpedo level here and make sure it’s on straight easy peasy lemon squeezy as they say all righty Jody rise blade Merry Christmas to all what are your guys Holy Grail golf clubs old or new I always

Wanted a set of the Wood Brothers cool cats now Jody you are going way back man Wood Brothers was so that was a good set of clubs in the day uh and forged irons with the corkfield per semon Woods yeah wood bros man those guys they had

It going on they were I don’t know what would we call them were they’d be the titlist of the day of that era probably that’s probably a good one that was a good one so Holy Grail of golf clubs Ah that’d be a tough one that would be a tough one so for me when I look at it jod is that uh because I’m a lefty my selection gets a little bit smaller in the things that I can go touch but if there is

Something out there uh I’m an old I like Putters uh and I don’t have very many of them but the ones I have are special to me if I could find like the oldest left-handed putter you know and we’re getting past the wood bro era right we’re getting into the uh

Uh it’ probably be after the morrises and those when they had all the families had their stuff nobody made a left-hand putter then is probably going to be a late 1800s type deal now I know there one exists that’s new remake that it’s in Scotland that I I actually saw it and

If I could get one of those I’d probably that’s probably where I ended up going wooden shaft and has the the leather grip on it man all day all day Robin saying hello to a lot of people and there’s one back Drew Brown oh hey my buddy in Wisconsin made it to

Bot facility and has sent me a set of EJ p glasses nice and America rocks classes from your video I hope you enjoyed it that place is so you know it’s not like it’s not built for tours to be sure it’s built to make send out glasses and uh but the

Folks there are just so nice and so good and they treated they treated us well and uh there’s there’s one right here with the MC golf logo in it and my and my golf ball there you go now I will say what I did for Christmas for my other guys

So for those that you don’t know I also work in the nuclear industry and right now I’m in part I’m in charge of emergency services and so I have fire department and EM the incident commanders regulatory stuff that kind of deal and so that’s when I went up there

To bot and to get these types of glasses and I had our group’s Logo put on here uh for emergency services and some of them had fire axes going through them some of them had bullets going through them and that was my Christmas gift to all the managers and supervisors this

Year so hopefully that went over well with them take your time have a great trip you know Charlie the me and Miss mcgl have been have done absolutely just knocking it down you know the what we got we are very fortunate to get because there’s a lot

Of those distilleries that are closed on that week and uh so like uh wild turkey I would have loved to have stopped into there uh but another day and but the ones we got I think we hit a home run on for sure the the hardest thing that

We’re trying to figure out is where to get something to eat right where to get something to eat for lunch you know a breakfast that kind of thing the other part is is that now we’re going to be eating at the talbat uh which is a supposedly what the the oldest uh stage

Coach in that line that gets you across the country it’s the last remaining and the oldest uh and it’s got tremendous history it’s just crazy cool and uh and then we’re going to stay there that’s our that’s our New Year’s Eve anniversary meal is there and the rest

Of it is we got we’re kind of hoping that a couple of these distilleries have a really nice place to stop and Sample and get a get a bite to eat or something Roni what do you say buddy Merry Christmas the day after you’re at yes

Sir Danny Johnson was going to get an oa1 but they come in face balanced that is true groove it I’ve not tried the mini G yet buddy I have not in fact I was just using that to clean up some of the other clubs if you guys don’t remember groov it the

You’re be correct they got like a they got the Plumber’s neck and they got the slant neck and for that so uh that’s where we want to go and uh well very cool yep send one bud let me see John cherry on congrats on the 40th yep I cook prime robe

Man prime rib that’s one of my favorites one of my favorites now what you’re going to see around here in the uh the meat categories and the Walmarts and whatnot you’re going to see those little pieces and you know what with you know with the way that the econom is going

Right now this one piece that I could have bought for for 40 50 bucks last year is now 70 bucks this year so it’s a it’s a hard sell for me but I love prime rib on the grill I love oh gez that stuff is awesome Wayne nothing there’s a new name

Welcome buddy Jim for not losing your Rangefinder I have a new a GNU mtic wrap with from Amazon two Earth very strong they demonstrate well see it’s not from uh Wayne so it’s not so much from losing it as it’s falling off is I forget them all

Right and the very first one I had so as this now you open the door man so I had one of these earlier on and we went to Gulf Shores Alabama the very very very first place we played went and used it worked like a charm it all good

And I walked away it was still on the front on the front pillar and walked away got home and realized I didn’t have it called of course nobody could find this thing because it was brand new well crap so you know I’m taking the I’m taking all kinds of Guff from the family

And and Bob and Penny because and rightfully so so we get we get another one and uh another one and I was like okay I won’t lose this one I’ve learned my lesson it’s all good and I and I’m back home now and I I

Go about a month I go about a month sure enough I leave it in the same spot but this time I don’t get out of the parking lot and I realized oh crap and I went back and I said hey there’s this number cart this thing and this thing and sure

Enough it’s gone well I realized I Saw Three Guys R my cart and uh on my way out and I’m sure one of those three guys now have a a rangefinder now it’s like you’ll never own another Rangefinder as long as I live I’m like come on I need a

Rangefinder and they get me another one and it’s the same one Bob owns and it was a something Eagle Eye I think is what it was called and it’s a great it is a great Rangefinder used it for almost a whole well about I say half

A year we were in Pinehurst believe it was where we’re at I think so B uh anyway I had it on a big metal plat I had it on a metal platin on that was hooked to my golf bag so I wouldn’t ever put it on the front of the golf cart and

We hit the this series of really bumpy golf carts and and it flopped off somewhere and and never saw again so that was not necessarily my fault so this one and I’ve already put the little handle on it just to make it obnoxious because I don’t like these things uh so

That I’ll have to keep reminding myself about it and I’ve taken it out of its case it’s got a it’s got its own little case with a magnetic flip on it and it’s got a carabiner for the uh Carabiner for the case so you can hang it off your

Golf bag and several uh batteries I mean the thing should last forever this time I’ve put all that back I’ve got it sitting in a box sitting right there right there and it’s going to go in my range find place and that’s the only place it’s going to go into and come out

Of so the the clock is ticking right now the clock is ticking how long before I lose it hopefully it’s never okay and it came out great now the prime RB you dude no doubt I love that stuff alrighty happy 40th 40th they’re good Dan says he’s good either Monday all right

Here we go markn all right what are your thoughts on the LA golf carbon Putters and their claims to be the largest Sweet Spot oh well I’ve seen them they are cool they look like a carbon version of Damascus if you know what Damascus steel is where they looks like metal that’s

Got wood grain in it this is carbon that’s got wood grain in it now I think we have to be very very specific on the idea of Sweet Spot before we can go there so the idea of a sweet spot all right the the absolute Sweet Spot would

Be defined in my opinion as the center of gravity of the club okay the center of gravity of the club and it’s this big right there Center gravity it balances on that much of the club now how the design Works around that sweet spot all right it makes the area around it way

More forgiving so you’ll see like ellipticals in drivers you’ll see different shapes in irons and even on Putters as well and it’s more about elongating cavities and making them taller and the putter head is slightly larger because you have to you have to make it because it’s

Carbon right you have to put some weight in there in between because they’ve got weight plates in there to drive down the drive it down now I would say that their m is out out of this roof High uh and that they have it so it’s probably

Designed because of it it they can say that because of the design if you make the putter bigger this the area of forgiveness around it which most manufacturers would say is The Sweet Spot not just the exact center around that and that’s by design for for

Instance to make it even more simpler if you had a bladed iron and you and you did this and the the area of forgiveness around it would probably be about this big you get into a a player’s cavity back or a perimeter weighted Club you

Still have that as the as the center of gravity but now it might be the size of a golf ball instead of something the size of a p size of a golf ball then you get these really big super game improvement ones where they’re they’re bigger the longer see the the you know

The correlation bigger Longer taller and now in that area is bigger the for area of forgiveness is more if that’s the case then yeah they’re probably right on uh again in any case if you’re going to go through and actually entertain the idea of this putter uh I would certainly

Get fit first to make sure you’re getting the right one Wayne says Tuesday we be in Orlando uh we have a one day uh I have a we have a one- day window that we’re only coming down for one day but uh we’re flying in we’re going to do

Our thing and we’re turn around flying right back out I believe it’s Thursday Mike delvesco there’s another new name Mike what do you say dude as a senior golfer with swing speed 85 to 90 with a strong three-wood be too hard for me to get any

Benefits well you know what for a senior golfer if you’re swinging a driver at 85 to 90 you’re not doing too bad dude they actually that’s really good and so the the strong three-wood Loft let’s talk about this one a strong three-wood Loft uh it’s not necessarily so much of this

Loft per se as it would be the design of the head okay so if we talk about three Woods in in a good modern three-wood is literally 14 to 15 degrees so you’re about a half a degree which really isn’t going to be a big deal to a degree and a

Half which could make some change now when you get into these normal clubs they have high moi they might have all their different design parameters in them right when you get to 13 and a half and it becomes the strong 3w normally they get into what they would call

Players design and when they get into the players design that means that uh it’s not nearly as forgiving it’s not nearly as big or bulky it’s actually a smaller style head and and so you can’t be off center now even as a senior golfer you can be an amazing ball

Striker and this thing could be a rocket sled for you I just want to inform you that when you get into there you want to make sure if you’re going to go to this 13 and a half that it is of a design that is very similar to what would be

Their stock offering which is probably going to be way more forgiving and is it too hard for you to get off to get any benefit no if you’re going to use it off the I think the thing would be awesome off the te te that thing low watch it

Turn into you know it could be quite the utility Club again if it has the right shaft set the right length all that stuff alrighty Todd Klein what do you say dude got a new Forwood head and shaft any tips for putting in a 355 iron

Feral oh whoa whoa whoa whoa what are we doing here any tips for putting a 355 iron fer F on a 355 wood shaft and how to hand finish the feral o well as you can tell there’s a there’s going to be a decimal point it’s going to be

Sloppy right it’s going to be sloppy in this particular instance I’d also be wary of whether or not your Forwood head has a shoulder in it if it has a shoulder in it you’re going to want to have to have a a FAL with a shoulder

That adapts into it and the 355 iron feral isn’t going to cut it now if you have one that doesn’t require one and the top of the top of the club head is chamfered right in order to get that and you’re just sticking it

On uh you run the risk of making it look sloppy can you do it yes yes you can you just run the risk of making it look sloppy uh and for the you can buy a 335 feral for a grand total of about 50 cents uh if you’re if you’re really

Serious about making it look really nice pay the pay the 50 cents but if you can’t then what I might suggest to hold it into place and it’s going to make it sound a bit offset but if you’re going to do it by hand you can get away with

It you could probably take a very very small amount of fish in line and shove it up in there to take up that slack so that it sits there now what it’s going to do it’s going to be an oval okay so if you have your shaft and you’re going

To do like this it’s going to set like that because you’ve just put in the fishing lines here right it’s going to push it down and it’s going to make it it’s going to make one side stick out the other side will be flat all right

That’s how that’s going to work uh or you just put a ginormous amount of glue and I’m not a fan of that but you got your those two options when you get it all dry and let it dry for Real about a whole day then what you do is you put

Two strips of tape one on the shaft side and then one on the one on the hosle side and just take your time with a piece of sandpaper and just shoe shine it until it gets done I’ve got a video on there on how to finish ferals and I

Talk about it with with stuff you’ve got in the house and you basically take your sandpaper and you you you you get yourself a strip the width of that feral and and you just pull it back and forth until it gets rid of it and then a

Little bit of acetone and you’re you’re good as gold alrighty golf dog good trip well glad you liked it dude all right what does Shear point mean when a poxing a club you have mentioned it a few times yes I have well so we were just talking about uh

The three 355 feral into a 3 into a 335 Club so where the top of the feral and the bottom or the I’m sorry the top of the hosle and the bottom of the feral meat is where you would cause a Shear Point okay a Shear Point what that is is

Wherever this wherever Club is assembled whether it be at the bottom when you’re putting a club in or at the top when you’re trying to put in a an extension where those pieces meet that through vibration use the bending all that stuff something in there is

Going to act like a saw and try and cut through there and it shears off the shears off that shaft and then your club’s broken okay now the the worst time we used to have of it in the day here’s my age see gray hair all right in the day when they made

Hles h hand me uh uh hand me one of those driver heads please yeah that’ll work perfect thank you so oh man this is just right this perfect so in the day the the top of the hosle used to be straight all right it would be straight and and you put glue

In there and that glue would get in there and it’ be on the the feral would sit on the top and all that together right there that would that glue would literally act as a saw so what you did is we had these stones that were at like

45s and you would shove them in there and it would cause that chamfer and when you had this chamfer that glue would sit in there and it would act instead of acting as a saw would act as a buffer and then then what you did that is now

What they have is these ferals or these designs where they have a shoulder in here where it takes a collared feral and it tries to absorb that that’s what I’m talking about all right very cool all right if you want put that thank you I have an assistant today how about

That okay Robin talking back John Blake man what’s up my wife gave me a binshot golf ball 11 o glass for Christmas and a n and a 9 by7 practice net well dude that’s awesome all right right I mean that’s really cool so now you can sit there hit G falls into that

Practice net drink out of that let this ain’t it but and drank your favorite beverage out of that thing and enjoy both that’s perfect well done my wife and I want to go on that Distillery tour I tell you what there is it is no joke man it it’s starting to get serious

There’s lines you know I have to give my uh my other brother brother-in-law some credit cuz he’s gone through and he’s he’s got the scars and the experience of going through the Buffalo Trace line and going through the wild turkey that uh and he has the most amazing luck by the way but

The the ins and outs of what to do when you go you know i’ I’ve almost got it in my mind that the first time that you go through that when you go to go there your very first time it may be a fail in in your objective but you’ll know

Exactly what it is you need to do to make it not SE the next time you go back it it’s just it’s crazy the the stories I’m being told are almost unimaginable about the sheer the wave of humanity that goes down there to see this stuff I I I’m taken

Back if you like Fried Green Tomatoes The Talbots are excellent oh I do like Fried Green Tomatoes dude really well we’ll have to try some of that Monday or Tuesday what do you say Mr MLF which one John Blake Jim put that truck cop you know that’s you’re the second

Guy to tell me that you know you’re that’s the second one that’s a good one dude uh that that’s probably that’d be a heck of a running bat you know we could check on it each week and see what’s going on [Laughter] I tell you what I’ll even sweeten the

Deal if you guys do this and whoever wins I’ll send him a golf towel hopefully I don’t send him one for a whole entire year alrighty number of rounds there you guys figure it out that’s pretty cool Drew my Rangefinder stays in that top pocket with the magnetic closure

That the 130 has that’s exactly what I’m looking at right here man I take it out shoot the pin put it right back in this is a result of leaving mine on the pillar there you go yep that’s you’re right you and I are

In the same you and I are in the same thought bracket now what I did is I thought I was going to shortcut it because there another Rangefinder company made this metal plate that doubled as a bottle opener and it hung from the side of the bag right next to

That open place and I just slap it on the side I thought well certainly as long as it sits there I’d be good to go and it worked fine until one day we are on a very very rough road and boink off it goes so there you

Go uh oh we’re looking at number of rounds now what be the recommendation for an entrylevel launch monitor to do Club Fitting there are a lot out there it depends on what I would look at dude is if you were depends on what you are interested in in your fitting what are you going to use as your justifications what what information are you do you need in order to provide the justification for the

Product that you select okay some people will use just total distance and that’s what it is okay some people will use quality of hit which I do a lot of cases some people use acceleration profiles which the flight scope gives and I like flight scope so get ready because I’m

Going to be completely biased to this side of the stuff but uh so it depends so you got to really look pretty hard because these these these launch monitors are getting better okay they’re getting really really good now the idea here is how good are how precise are

They that’s the second question now if you’re looking for just some basic information Club speed ball speed path that kind of stuff right those the basics of it uh personally my favorite is the MEO plus it’s very innocuous it’s only about this big has a lot going on

In it and it can double as a thing if you wanted to use it as a simulator uh it does very very good that would be my number one choice I told you I like flight scope uh the other one that I see doing very very well out

There right this very moment is there was a vertical one and I for life of me I think it’s a is it a rap SoDo I believe it’s a rapto got a lot of love out there those would be the only two that I go with on a basic now there are

Other ones out there you’ll hear guys talk about op shot and sky track and all these other ones and they’re great for what they do but they don’t cap I think you need to capture the ball all right you need to capture the ball you need to

Capture the club I don’t know if those other ones do that I know one only captures the club I’m pretty sure Sky trck only captures the club as well and once you have those two pieces of information a lot will open up to you okay once you get better then then you

Have your choice you have the X3 you’ll have the uh oh my goodness gracious I just drew a blank you have the one that everybody likes on YouTube uh and then there’s the one that’s just like the flight scope that oh Pro something or another anyway those would

Be the those are the three top dogs that you want to deal with John L Mike dco if you’re using it as a driver it would help with launch dispersion possibly even distance hard hard off the deck to get airborn need a little bit of speed to an extent this

Depends on his angle of attack too that’s the reason why I kind of left that one alone three rounds dude I oh come on Charlie give me a little bit more credit than that I have one in my bag 13 and 12 ball comes off like a rocket either off the

Deck or the te I’m 70 with a 96 Club head speed you will love Callaway’s Triple Diamond the Titus TSR is top of the list there you go now 96 is actually kind of significant when you’re talking between 85 and 90 but the same idea applies Charlie’s Got Me A or Christ’s

Got me a five come on guys give me a little bit of credit five rounds that’s not even a that’s just a little over a month if it wanted a week oh man you got now now it’s a challenge all right Todd’s got a colored

Feral was thinking of using I do have a bunch of the black Todd honestly the colored ferals are cool but for fit finish and the way it should work i’ I just go with the black it can be a classic if it’s if it’s finished off

Well got the nice shine to a lot of protection it’ll be a much better look in the long run hit those thumbs up please since Charlie led me into it again hey like subscribe hit that thumbs up down there if you would please uh just so that

YouTube knows that we’re here and that when it gets re uh sent to them that maybe they’ll put it up to everybody else thanks Charlie Jason how you doing buddy uh late to the party but had a great Christmas my kids finally listened and bought me three dozen of my favorite

Golf balls now I’m set for the next season dude three dozen golf balls set for the next season you are the man most people would think that they got three dozen they’re set for the first quarter of the Year hope everybody had a great Christmas so do

We all right Faz 889 thanks for the kind of got me wor oh man things kind of got me worried I’ve done epoxying three shafts in my wedges an hour ago and there was a shoulder in the hosle I didn’t use a collar feral that my in trouble

So uh I’m done three shafts into my wedges an hour ago there was a shoulder in the hosle but I didn’t use a collared feral so if you use steel shafts probably not all right Steel’s pretty tough and wedge shafts are made to take some abuse right specifically if you had

A specific wedge shaft now uh if you got it in a graphite one is it going to happen overnight no no it is not it’s not but uh I would have much rather you used a a a feral or a collared feral just to get that now if

You got if it if it’s filled with the epoxy and you got a nice even fit dude it could so you know these things could go uh its entire lifetime and never worry about it but it could also happen in the span of one season if you’re

Playing a lot of golf so it just depends but uh I mean if you’re using steel go with it have some fun with it see what happens all righty Phil K Santa sent me reverse sear a prime rip three three rib roast highly recommend that method oh there you go that was nummy

Okay alrighty so look at that with Phil K we got down to the very end and only six minutes over normally we go a little bit longer but that’s fine so again guys like And subscribe if you would I appreciate it very very much uh keep an

Eye out it’ll be kind of a year in review video that will show up and then when we come back we’ll talk about where we went how we did it and we’ll put that out there for folks to see I know it’s not a golfy thing but

You know hey let’s have a little fun with it okay guys so again Merry Christmas very I appreciate everything you guys have been on here with me taking this time toh share your share what you guys got that’s impressive as I’ll get out uh Merry Christmas Happy

New Year and again to miss MC golf thank you for 40 wonderful years and let’s see your scores go low
