    From everything I’ve seen, I gather they are great irons. However, you can pick up an excellent set of pre-owned irons for even less… which, if you’re not going down the custom fit route, is an equivalent ‘gamble’. Pre-owned irons, particularly if a better known brand, would also retain more...

    FS PXG RH Closer Putter 34"

    Can you provide details like length, head weight, hosel type, shaft and grip, etc. please? (photo links aren’t working for me, so apologies if it’s included within those)

    Fujikura Atmos 7R Shaft - Seven Wood Length, Regular

    You butt trim to length - butt trimming does not influence flex or the playing characteristics of the shaft. Tip trimming is different - keeeping it simple, it can stiffen up the shaft and change its playing characteristics. The weight of the head also influences flex, in that a heavier head...

    It’s a rather different price point…

    You’re absolutely right. I downloaded the demo iOS version and have given it a whirl. Pretty good, although shots were reading shorter than on the SkyTrak range for some reason… and shorter than I see on the course. I’d like to try WGT as a demo too, but can’t find out how to do that. Happy...

    To play E6, TCG, etc. I believe you need a gaming PC. That’s a step further than I want to go at this stage. WGT is on iOS, so I’m going to try that one out first - it certainly doesn’t have any local Glaswegian courses, moreso courses like Pebble Beach. iOS is easier for me, but I’m led to...

    Those cabinets are a bit of a sore point. They weren’t part of the design… until half way through building everything on Saturday my wife explained she’d quite like all three of them to go along that wall. :eek: I’d have brought the screen out a few more inches from that wall had I known…

    Long day today, but managed to get the majority done. Carrying upstairs and then cutting the 20mm gym mats was by far the most time consuming part, particularly as there were some fairly intricate cuts. However, it’s now up and running although I’m too knackered to use it tonight…

    what should be in the bag.....

    I’m down to 11 clubs. As long as you know your yardages and your gapping is sound, then you’re good. I’ve gone to c.15 yard gaps between clubs (from c.10-12 yards previously) and I’ve felt no discernible difference in my ability to cover different yardages. As others have said above, 14 is the...

    This will be the first time I’ve built a golf net and the first time I’ve used this galvanised steel tubing with clamps. I’m fairly handy with timber but still felt the steel tubing would be simpler and easier. I will know for certain by the end of Saturday…

    10mm has the advantage of potentially getting away with not having to shave and re-hang your door! If it’s of any use to you or anyone else, this is the frame design I’ll be building this weekend. I’ll post a couple of photos when it’s done - I expect the room to be functional by the end of...

    if you need 18… they do an 11mm sprung heavy duty rubber tile (the 11mm version of the 20mm version I’m getting), which you’d get for about £400 delivered. Pop it in your basket and you’ll get a slight volume discount, then use ‘gym10’ to get an extra 10% off.

    It is indeed, but not that product. I’ve bought the ‘sprung rubber heavy duty floor tile’, which they sell in various thicknesses. They’ll send you a sample if you’d like to try before you buy.

    I’m in the process of building a gym / golf sim room and spent quite a while researching options, which may or may not help you. Hoping to have it up and running this weekend. The room is approx 4m x 4.2m, with an exceptionally high ceiling. It will also be used as a gym room, meaning golf...
