So did I.
I don't take any credit for being there opening night. It was a fluke, but a nice fluke as nostalgia goes. I didn't know anything about it. It was my hearthrob at the time that knew about the movie and had us go to see it.

[quote name='myspinonit' timestamp='1429379337' post='11387387'] I promised to Peanuts Daddy (and a couple others) to send photos of my Sry Evo mod White Steel 2 Ball putter. I wasn't planning on posting it to the boards, but since I can't figure out how to add it to a personal message, here they are. The completed putter should be on the way to me soon. Pre- inserts after refurbish and Space Black teflon coating: [attachment=2716875:photo 1 (1).JPG] I was given two insert options today, the carbon fiber I originally considered, and aircraft aluminum. I decided on the aluminum, that adds about 10g of headweight (I had about that amount added down the shaft before the mod, so I'm sure I will like the weight). The discs are a silverish blast finish.

The Darth Putter. I like it.

I like that name too....very appropriate with the new Star Wars release. I saw the original Star Wars on opening night in 1977.

You are the first person I "know" who actually did such! That's pretty cool.

I imagine my sister may dress up as a favorite character when she inevitably sees the new film.

ps......I'm keeping the Darth Putter name. Thanks for that.

It's the space black. Pics looked a bit clearer on my iPad than on my iMac.

I posted pics "as is" now since we will be in transit during some renos soon and will be tied up getting our place sorted around the time I expect it to arrive.

Well I took the day off to do some spring cleaning today but ended up doing some tinkering this morning before getting started lol. I cut 3 straps of lead tape at 2"(7.5g total, my goal was 6g per club to replace the 3pts I lost by cutting 1/2" off) per club and then cut the tape to fit into the back of the muscle in the cavity without going above it. It turned out better than expected feel wise but still didn't get to the d2/d3 I was hoping for. The new grips must be heavier than the old ones is the only thing I can figure why the calculation didn't pan out as expected. Oh well, they feel good and solid as is so I'll try them like this for now.

Also my 5w is a little out so I'll have to tinker with it a bit as well.

". . . they feel good and solid . . . "

Most important statement Pigs.

Let the numbers be a guide only.

Now you can enter the lead tape discussions : )

PD, here's a little bit of classic club porn to hold you over until she gets there

This is before and then after a few rounds of wet sanding and polish

[Golf64]

PD, you can shave with that thing!? Btw, found YOUR golf ball @ the Links on Sat. when I was playing with Rick. I give it to you when I see you next.

Holy Moses Pigs. Look at the profile of that club. It will be interesting to see how this head performs in my hands.

It gives you a bit of appreciation for how far iron technology really has come. Even my CB's looks GI next to this bad boy

Imagine playing a whole set of these in the US Open?? LOL

There is no possible way I could avoid hurting myself with that club.

It was a PD Soft. Brand new.

I never officially signed on. As obsessed with equipment as I am, once I find a setup I like, unless something is not clicking and it's NOT a swing issue, the bag stays the same.

What are you getting fit for LP?

[LittlePoison1980]

It's coming down to the I25s and MP54s "officially." If they have any options, I'd love to throw the FlyZ+ into the mix. The I25s really are the leading candidate at this moment.

Edit:

I forgot to mention wedges, too.

[Gauchograd99]

Man... that thing looks like stamped grooves, plenty of relief on the back of that bad boy, and I would LOVE to hit it. I haven't tried to hit anything that thin since I was in my great uncle's backyard with his old irons (back when I was hitting a little left handed) as a kid. I like the classic choice to use a staff golf ball in the shot too!

... now to COMPLETELY mess with people's minds!! You need to get a Steelfiber shaft (or something graphite at least) for that club and paint the shaft to look like a hickory shaft!
