Re: ShopTalk: Bad habit!

This is something I mentioned a few months ago. A customer came in and actually asked me to pull the head from his driver and reset it 2° closed because he was slicing the ball. It was all I could do to keep from laughing.   What I did was sell him a new grip with a "reminder" bump set so the clubhead would be closed when the club was gripped normally. The problem then of course was that the club became de-lofted as well as closed which in turn could cause even worse slices. However, the guy was happy.   TFlan   Solution suggested by one of my customers that had the same problem: Turn the head on the shaft to straighten the ball direction! I took a shortcut and twisted the grips, removed and realigned the shaft bands. He has not come back to say "it didn't work" so I guess we found the solution! Or the end of the playing season arrived?
