After about 5 years, I’ve finally as one of my Velcro strips start to peel off the past couple of weeks.

I used two red tomato stakes for a long time. Cost me less than the sausage and coke on the way in to Bunnings.

$1.90 parking sticks from Home Depot... plus postage They have a bit of reflector tape around the top, for marking your driveway to easily see the sides when reversing, I bought 5 of them, best hoe purchase ever. Never seen anything like it for sale in Oz.

Criticism doesn't bother me, as it means I am doing something and people are watching.

Can measure loft and lie angle of your clubs by taking a photo of them, from front on and side on, then drawing some lines on the photo and measure the intersection. I use Gimp for that. Plenty of other applications could do the same thing.
Lie angle seems fairly easy, i am getting 1/2 to 1/4 of a degree from what I expected it to be.
Loft angle is hit and miss, up to 6 degrees flatter on a 7 iron, what the hell. Then I have realised that the lens will have to be dead set on the centre axis of the clubface otherwise its the same effect as toe up or down changing the loft.
got motivated to muck about with this as nobody around here has equipment to measure loft/lie on hybrids and woods.

1. If the grips are a bit slippery... use your car key to rough them up. Do it under a tap for added effect, key then dry towel for minty goodness.
2. After putting on sunscreen - Use hand sanitizer on your hands to get rid of the oily residue.

Does 1. only apply to corded crips? Wondering how a car key would help out something like my normal Pure grips.
I wash them every so often and then hit them with some sandpaper.

Pretty much ditto. Give them a quick wipe with a wet rag and them use a sanding block.

Can confirm works on all types of grips. Especially those tour velvets of yesteryear.
