Solid bag.  Those mavrik woods are so good and underrated.  Also, raw zipcore wedges have been my favorite wedges I’ve played in years.

Who did the work on the neck?  Looking to find someone to do something kinda similar on a side saddle putter.

Josey over at Mack Made did the neck on the X5.5 and the whole build on the Jewel. He’s the best!

Thank you!  I'm looking for someone to pull a shaft out of a side saddle putter and then add a slant neck kinda thing.  I'll have to reach out to them.

 

Awesome bag!

Holy moly 46.5g driver shaft, must be a smooth swinger with that thing.

Don’t forget to update with the feel putter epoxy change.  Don’t hide the good stuff

Will have to take pictures and update later. Testing JB Weld high heat epoxy on my backup (Newport Classic w/Fujikura MC X-Firm). Supposed to be just as good from a feel perspective as the steel reinforced epoxy, but with the added benefit of a higher heat resistance. Should be great for the hotter temps we see in PA during the summers.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THE ALLFIT ADAPTER

So far so good. We’ve only had one fail at the shop. The threads stripped out on it. 

[Phabs]

What’s the benefit of the all fit?  Gives you Titleist/Callaway adjustment on every driver?

More like TM adjustment. You get +/- 1.5 either way and an upright setting. We use them on our demo shafts at the shop so I have plenty and it allows me to swap in shafts easily if someone wants to try out the head that I am in and doesn't need the ol senior flex shaft. 

[kb7]

Made a couple changes over the past few months. 

• Upgraded the bag to a Vessel Lux Cart 7 way
• Picked up a new RTX 58/6 and hit it with the Triple Plum Brown finish
• Finally got around to paint filling my wedges
• I've been working on hand stamping (still a long way to go)
• Went from Stability Blackout w/Garsen Quad Tour Taper to Stability One Tour Spec w/Garsen Quad Tour Pistol Taper TPE in my Mack Made
• Finally sold my plumber's neck X5 so I can't be tempted to use it

Booted the Pro Force v2 to the curb and giving the KBS TD Wood shaft a try in the heavenwood.

Some updates:

 

Loved the KBS TD in the heavenwood. I am a habitual fader of the ball. Since installing the TD, my shots with the heavenwood are dead straight. I really have to try to cut the ball now. Also, in true club ho fashion I have benched the heavenwood for now in favor of a G430 max 7w with a KBS TD shaft. 

 

Recently swapped out wedge grips as well. Went from my favorite UTX to some NO1 50 Pro grips. We'll see how they perform, but so far i like them a lot. My only concerns with them would be traction in the humid/wet summer months. Time will tell. 

 

A few posts up, you can see some nasty fertilizer staining on my Mack Made neck. That has been roughly polished out for now. I'm debating whether I want to keep going for a nice shiny stainless look, or keep it as is. 

 

I'll update with pictures in the next few days.
