Not yet, still need to buy the putty and fix the 3rd piece before painting. Should be able to do that tomorrow and then paint shortly after. Hoping for install this coming weekend. :excited:

When I played golf on Friday, I actually unwrapped the plastic and removed price tags from a lob wedge that I purchased for myself in Dec 2011 (that tells you how long it's been since I last played). This weekend I tried to remove the gunk from the stickers that were on the shaft, but the stuff I have just wasn't getting it done. I'll try this stuff on it :tup:

I can't wait until I get new clubs!

Summer is going to be testing each brand/style, then Xmas my parents are going to be buying me a new set.

Yep, still a spoiled, only child 'til this day! :tup: :D

only downside i know of is that it stinks, and the rag could suddenly burst into flames on a hot day. so i usually douce such rags with water, then seal them up in plastic bags before disposal. :D

Gasoline is notoriously difficult to light without precise AFR. I've been doing it in the Texas summer for a few years now, and my father did the same most of his lifetime without any problems.

:icon18: See if you can get Honda to install one of their ESCL that won't crap out on you :icon17:

It's not installed yet. There was a scratch in one of the side pieces, and when I ran my thumb over it, a piece fell off leaving a hole. She is getting some of that putty you recommended so we can fill the hole before painting that piece. The install will then follow :tup:
