- Boxes to builds , vokey wedges of different sole grinds. We are installing a true temper X7 wedge shaft and golf pride mcc4+ align grips. Watch while we figure how to make these play to the specs requested.

These are my wedges. So cool to see them being built and the heaviness of them are incredible! Played baseball forever and found that really heavy clubs give me a much better feel. And such a high quality build, awesome all around!
That's really special then Billy. You get to see the love, skill and attention to detail that went into your build.
A very cool Christmas gift for you from Jim and Robin 😉😉😉
how they playing bud?
@@John_Wood_ They are playing great for me. Took me from a horrible short game to just a bad short game. So we’re moving in the right direction!
No one here gunna mention the “Mike Honcho” stamped on the heads?! That’s a cultured man there! 😂👍🏽
Lol
I rewinded I thought I read Modano
Excellent build Jim. Thanks for sharing this quality video!
Good vlog again there Jim 👍👍👍
Adding a hair of length helps too. I tried mid size 70g, then realized the SW issue. Then found light 55g midsize grips to balance it out.
Hate having to wait for the glue to set to know for sure
Learned something new today thanks!! I play the SM8s and they are shot makers clubs. Look forward to WIMD later today.
When I have customers want builds to swingweight, I usually do a dry run. Fit it all together cut them to length and rubber band a grip on the shaft and put it on the scale and see how much weight needs to be added or taken away.
Normal I do too and I was close then too
Great video Jim, good job you are good at maths👍👍Merry Christmas to you and your family. Chris
Excellent video. Merry Xmas and a very happy new year. You did a video on the Wilson D9 irons. What did you think of the wedges. Would you suggest a different set of wedges? Thanks
I’ve used Nippon NS Pro 1150 shafts a few times. 4-LW and with the exception of one shaft they were all 116g the other was 115g. For less money you can’t beat their quality. True Temper Tour issue should be +/- .5g. I’d send them back. I’ve also been lucky enough to get tour issue z cord from GP. All were 52g. Can’t beat the tour weight sorting process. Sad we pay extra for stuff and it’s still not right. I’ve seen sets of TT tour issue with one iron being way off. Quality control I guess. Great video.
Hi Jim. I’m only 1 minute in and noticed VOKEY Is misspelled 2x. Also it’s On your whiteboard which can’t be edited out. Nonetheless this is a Great build.
Haha good catch!
nice catch, Ive always called the vollllkeys but you are correct and it is corrected every where but the video. LOL
@@golfermanjim5622 I disagree, Jim can have his scotch whenever he wants....he's earned it! Lol!🤣
Where can you purchase the extra weights that you added to the shafts. Great video
Couldn’t you have fitted the grips then checked what additional weight was required and fit accordingly?
Do you ever measure the bore insertion depth? I've found, even on relatively new clubs (718 tip taper Titleist irons), that the bore insertion depth was not consistent. There was a .1" difference between the least and most insertion depth. That will affect the swing weight, and length, too.
Great build Jim. Question: How much length can you add to putter with an extension? Cheers.
Preferably only an inch, 1.5 max. To prevent breakage.
Amazing how many people are fixated by swing weight. Static weight and feel are more important to me.
What size ferrule did you use and do you need a collard ferrule?
Hi Jim could the swingweight have been achieved with a tiny bit of added length to each wedge ? He sounds like a big guy so maybe a quarter inch more wouldn't be noticed but would get the swingweight nearer D5-6 ?
In my experience, He’d need those wedges about 1/2” over what they’re at now. Every 1/2” is about 3 points
@@nickkouchoukos agreed but what was he 2 swingweights light ? I think Vokey lob wedges are listed at 35 inches, so maybe go 35.25 to get nearer. Then 35.5 for the SW then 35.75 for the gap wedge.
In a lot of cases yes, however length it crucial for consistency, I’d check first before modifying
What were the static weights?
What kind of epoxy are you using?
Do you use more epoxy on graphite shafts? The amount of epoxy you're using on the wedges is sparingly. I think I've been using too much. oops
Same amount on each one. I like to ensure the inside hosel area is coated with the epoxy, most time I have some squeeze out. That’s why I have paper towel squares
You're a nuclear scientist or something close. You should be able to do the math instantly. I guess measuring warheads and iron heads are different. LOL
Radiation protection too. I had brain fade going from the GW to the Sw
Tip weight off the foot , under the bench 😤
Fortunately I found it on the first go
