wah lau bro CCC, u mean u and JC after so long already still is instalment one ah... your relationship so deep deep, i thought by now should be joint account already...

just to make things a bit more interesting...

Steelfiber has agreed to produce some 125g putter shaft for us to test. this will make things even more interesting and exclusive.

DGman

WOW ! Steelfiber on Zen ... very interesting indeed. I wonder if the steelfibre will deliver a even more refine feel / feedback.

Ouch ! The Zen-poison getting even deeper ... OUCH !!!

Where is the ANTODOTE ???? So unbearable......

antidote?

dont go bigfish loh.

Like that sure mati one...at least go already use new poison to overcome over poison..hehe

No need steelfibre thanks...jus a good o' stepped shaft tweaked firm w my fav grip.

Was that the shaft that I was testing last Saturday?

Anyway nice job on the re-shaft of the ZA2, the feedback has definitely improve. Took it out for another 18 hole spin today and immediately felt the difference. Got the feel of the club after the 1st hole and I was putting with confidence all through the round. I am sure this prototype can actually be ready for prime time with that shaft that I tested in it.

Folks, I had a chance to try out one of the 6 last Saturday at the den, the mill is not as sharp as the first batch and it is producing quite an awesome feel!!!!

Bro, i regret to inform you that you have fallen out of the "Poison priority member's top 10 leader board". What you expect? You think you still idol status is it? We found new idol liao, if you have not realised go see the TSS thread.Out of sight out of mind lor. Hahhahahahha. And yes, i'm a ingrateful bastard.

Haha...I wouldn't mind being out of the priority list of future items but I paid for it leh!

rex you may have a very big surprise coming.....

how about a bronze plumbers neck?

just like this one except its PN and not MS....







or maybe a normal satin...beach....



let me know your preference....

Dammit DGman, I will need to break out the DD special to know how a beached putter feels like again.

K n N, the boss has spoken, S70B is back on the leaderboard. Ok, S70B you may have lost a few fans, but you still being loved around here.

Wah lau CCC, at least everyone here knows the boss is a man of integrity....not like...


Boss, Bronze looks pretty good man! Can I request that you ask Jeff to tape up the bottom?

Out of curiosity, would you keep these putters as part of a collection or do you game them? They look way too pretty to be gamed but I bet they game darn well.

that is done...Rex...do you want me to ship it to you? 34 inch 69 degree lie, ping man black double wrapped?

btw Icebocc....the shaft you have tested is a special graphite shaft wrapped with 59 miles of steel fiber. it is made by Aerotech and we are doing some joint development to test its feasibility as a putter shaft.

we will complete the frequency testing today and i should have the reading versus a regular steel shaft. the way the putter was performing yesterday, i think the shaft will be a big success. In fact CR came in on friday, putted with the same shaft and asked me if he can have it in his ZO. (he is using that putter on tour).

maybe we can ask Aerotech to make the shafts available in different colours.

anyone wants to test, its available at BM for the next few days.

DGman

DGman, no need to ship. I have more putters here than I can handle already! I will collect it from you (eventually next year ).

That shaft sounds very interesting...I will think about testing it when I come back. Hopefully, there isn't any 'no stock' at all.

Wait till you see my refinished SCs when they come back. I will even post icebocc's before and after too. His baby cost a bomb!

i am sure...SC is making more $$ refurnishing than selling putter...but the guy has everything worked out.

we may go into full production of the shaft once the technical specs is agreed. currently there are only 2 pcs, one is going to UK. hopefully we can produced these by year end.

looking forward to seeing the refurb putters.

TS, never ask a golfer what he does with all his equipment.

Anyway, some will be gamed, some won't. It depends on how desperate I am of saving my golf game.

DGman, I just re-read your post on the special shaft. I sure hope its not really 59 miles of steel fibre per shaft. Thats alot of steel!!!!

yes thats 59 miles of steel fiber per shaft...but the fiber is micron in diameter. but for matching, the shaft will go well with the satin or maybe the black chrome putter (not available yet).

for icebocc we simply turn the shaft to strong, instead of neutral and we were able to increase the frequency on the shaft. if we tip the shaft and use neutral, we may achieve the same. better still tip the shaft and get the shaft on strong...thats the next change i will make to test out this theory.

DGman

I am struggling to the den today .... Very nice bronze putter with slant neck...hehehe

the very nice midslant bronze is now at SFG....i do not have any of those left...

but you can still try the ms slight dot and the ms with the special shaft.

DGman

I' coming soon....
