Our friends at Feel Golf are running a free wedge deal.

73 deg wedge, Gun Metal Wedge, or Dart Thrower and

Royal Sand Grip-Special Japanese Version ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Picked up a special Japanese version Royal Sand
wrap. Same grip as US version that you're probably
familiar with, just has classy looking gold paint fill logo.
$2.25 for these. I'm told they'll only be available for a
short time, I've got about 300 of them.

|
Star Tour Grip ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New Star Tour model is made of Duralast 501 rubber.
According to Star it will never get hard or slick, crack,
splite, unravel or absorb moisture.
Seamless molds, exact weight (55g) for consistent feel
and performance from club to club. Perfect center
construction. Doesn't have a real exaggerated taper.
VERY tacky feel.

Grafalloy Epic-.350 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Received a batch of R and S flex Epic shafts in .350 tip
to reshaft your Callaway, Ping, Taylormade drivers.
Here's info from Grafalloy: In a time when most shafts are primarily improvements upon existing designs, Epic featuring Nanofuse technology is a revolution in materials, design, and performance. Our engineeres set out to utilize the full design opportunities provided by nanotechnology to create a shaft material combining the consistency and accuracy of a steel shaft with the distance and feel advantages of graphite. The result is Epic. |

Short Shots ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New Ozik 8m2 from Matrix, 87g, 2.4t, SUPER low
spin and launch. As my Matrix rep put it, only Manly
Men need apply with this one.
Nakashima has a new adjustable hosel for their H-
Tec driver. Set face angle on your driver from -1
closed to square to +1 deg open with this unique new
design. I've got about a dozen shaft/hosel
combinations and the design allows you to quickly
change shafts with the turn of a screw . No
component sales with the Nak head, assembled only.
Email for special shaft/hosel pricing with the HTech
head.
Finalizing my 2007 shaft shootout. I've been using the Nakashima HTech head and so far the winner for me is the new Accra XC65 AXIV shaft. All the top shafts are about the same distance-wise, the new AXIV material and XC 65 design seems to help me hit it STRAIGHT! Great smooth feel, too. Install only item, I'm afraid. The XT60 AXIV shaft from Accra is a great choice for slower/smoother swingers. Send me a note for more info, you'll want to try this one! Others that are right with the new Accra are the Mitsubishi White Board, Matrix XCon, and Accuflex Creation. Haven't tried all the new shafts yet and will get on the launch monitor to confirm what I'm seeing outdoors at the range. The shaft manufacturers have outdone themselves this year. Finally, The Gripmaster has added more to their exotic line http://www.thegripmasterusa.com/? xtr=clubmaker for info. |
