    After all that, like an idiot, I accidently ordered the midsized grips. After I had decided to go standard. Frigging hell....

    The mistake was ordering the Pure grip in the first place, Pecker.Love, Uncle Zig.

    Use the Mids with NO WRAPS under, and if needed a little thinner, stretch them a little more down the shaft.

    Thanks for that TourFit. I will do that to try them out. Just a little annoyed at myself but who knows. Maybe I will like them?

    Same size as Peppas (7.25 and 3.25) and not very dextrous. I do exactly that with Lamkin Midsize (Redcaps).

    The Lamkin Crossline Midsize give slightly thicker grip.

    Do you wear a medium glove too?

    I've never worn a glove. (I have a righty Wilson ProSoft in ML, that I used when coming back from a broken hand in 2006, when I used to use 2 papers under the grips.)

    With the midsize, the middle and ring finger of the left hand rest against the thumb-pad, without being able to press the muscle.

    I suggest try one on a wedge or a hybrid/wood, and see how they work for you, before doing the complete kit.

    These are actually for my spare set, a practice set of blades. They currently have a set of sharpro grips that are ripping up my right thumb so thought I'd change them. I'll probably do 7i and PW and see how it goes first.

    So when you say middle and ring finger rest, what grip pressure are you applying?

    I do hold thew club quite firmly (on a 10 scale, Nicklaus recommends a 3, and I probably use a 6.)

    What I was trying to say ... if I try to squeeze it as tightly as possible, the fingertips of those two fingers can't dig into the thumbpad muscle (I can do this on original grips, esp. Cobra or TM).

    Cheers Dotty, I get exactly what you mean now. Mine did in when I squeeze...

    Also, any recommendations for a cheap air compressor to use with the Pure grip gun thingy?

    I got mine from Super Cheap Auto, it was $90 something on special with bonus hose and attachments. They have it by itself on special at the moment for $75.

    Shafting beads are great, especially if you are a hobbyist or beginner.

    Personally, I use ground garnet (sandblaster sand!) and it lasts forever...and SO cheap. Just a sprinkle in the glue to add some grittiness and voila! same thing as glass beads!

    Ok, couple of questions in relation to 910 adapters and shafts.

    Similarly to the I-Mix adapters in the past where you had to tip trim about 1/2 an inch or more to get them to play to flex with the adapter on, what's the deal with the 910's?

    I ask because I'm going to grab an adapter and put it on the Nunchuk that I'm pulling from my SuperFast and whack into my 15.5* 910F. Or is it just a case of put the adapter on and butt trim to length?

    And then conversely, if I was to pull an adapter off an existing 910 shaft what would I need to do to that shaft to get it to play true to flex in a normal head?
    Cheers guys

    Not essential, but worth it.
    Just squares the shaft up a little more inside the hosel if three is a little more room than there should be.

    Just find a bead blasting shop & ask them for a small jar of fine beads from one of their tanks. You'll never use it all.

    It's great for holding the shaft & head firm while the glue dries so you can wipe ferrules down & so the shafts don't move if you spine/flo etc.

    Thanks for the replies all.

    I am just starting to accumulate fitting gear and working through what I need to stock. Any must read fitting books or vids out there for a hobbyist?
