I have one called the “Shrivot”, that I got back in the 80s, and I knew the guy that patented and sold them.
It attaches to the putter shaft easily, sliding it off when needed. It was a cool idea, just never seemed to catch on.

Anyone know how to make a 3D print design of this? Guess it'll add "less" weight to the shaft.

Nice, you and your group will love it. I would flip Day 1 so that Preserve is first to get used to greens. Also make sure you visit the Punch bowl which is a giant putting green with a bar.

Looks like a great schedule. I will be there as part of a foursome in a month. June 4 - 8, 2026
 
Very cool! But somehow, when you put the clubhead back on, something went wrong. It's facing the wrong direction...
I prefer have logos not showing when I'm hitting the ball. The same goes with grips (if it's the same pattern all round grip) and shafts. I have them facing down when I assemble as I find it distracting with logos, designs, and letters. If I bought it assembled, it's whatever and not worth the trouble. I definitely do not want something distracting close to the ball such as a ferrule logo. Minimal designs like ventus shafts are okay at times.

Plus most of the design is on the back of the club head anyways, hence why the spade is "upside down." When it sits in your bag you see the back of the club head design and ferrule design oriented the same direction.

It's mostly distracting part for me. I probably should have went with a black ferrule as it's somewhat less distracting for me and not the same color as a golf ball.

I have a question if there are any graphite expert on here. I have success pulling with a heat gun on graphite, but have some questions. *The heat gun does have an attachment for smaller nozzle concentration and temperature adjusting settings.

With some brief research, epoxy breaks down around 250°F (give or take the brand) and graphite around 300°F (give or take on brand). Does limiting the heat at 250° prevent any alterations to the graphite shaft in performance or damage that's not visible to the eye? I would say it takes around 3 minutes with a heat gun. Maybe less if I give it proper time to heat up to desired temperature before applying heat and more pulling force. I haven't had any shafts break on me so far.

Or should the approach should be like a torch? Heat higher than what is need for less time exposed?

As I get into more expensive shafts, I would probably eventually get a torch.

So close. I've only broke 80 twice before, and both times were on a par 71 course. I had this too - GIR on 18, but I misread the birdie putt badly, leaving a 5 footer that just slid by the cup. :( Also missed short putts for par on 9 and for bogey on 10. Really proud of how I scrambled for four pars on the front 9. Don't think I've ever shot 41 before with no GIRs.

Thanks! They fit the theme of this here forum. So, I thought appropriate to post. :cool
Yeah, I was wondering when I saw that pic where you get covers like that? I see some on eBay and Amazon, but don't know which brands are nice and which are crap. Enlighten me if you would.

I’m partial to Pins & Aces. I think these were limited and part of a mystery box, but they have a ton of others.

Bogey Bros and Birdie Boss are other decent ones.

Slightly more expensive, look at Rose & Fire.

For premium, Dormie Workshop.

New rabbit hole unlocked. See you in about a week.
 
Does anyone know a good place to buy/sell/trade clubs with others? I’m considering getting rid of my Qi10 3W and 3H.

I’ve never used it, but have heard good things from buddies about 2nd Swing.

MyGolfSpy has an extensive forum. Could be worth searching if they have a marketplace on there.

+1 for Dormie.

They are expensive, but very nice. They have many fun designs but many classic designs as well. I own a few but only bought them on sale for 1/3 price, old stock, but I love them!

Also, Swag golf and CMC Designs has a bunch of nice head covers.

Yep. Pins & Aces it is. I have these on the way - should be delivered tomorrow.
