I did not. The pins on the connector were so corroded that I could not get any continuity on 2.5' of wire. When it went to .001 after the cleanup, I figured that had to have been the issue, so I didnt bother checking any more of the points.

I should add that before this, I took the inertia switch out and it had pretty much no resistance.

Speaking of Bullseyes...
You got any anser style? I ask cause thats all Ive ever used since I started. Though still popular today, thats a pretty old design as well.

I think it is very cool that your grandpap had the plantation and that it went to the descendants. That is how it should be. My parents moved off the family farms and now my cousins have all the property.
Thats an odd topic between my sister and I. Not in an overly dramatic way, but its, uh, yeah. I asked her once, "I wonder who they will leave the house to?" We both kinda looked at each other for a couple secs, didnt say anything, and it hasnt been discussed since, haha.


Have a wonderful Rovering Day.
indeed!

I have tried a variety, but I love the way the Bullseye is basically center shafted and when you put the ball right at the end of the shaft, it is truly lined up and you get great roll with great feel.

Some of the Pings are really great, but I never had the money for a nice new one, I do see some available reasonably at times. Other than that, I have a few excellent TP Mills both Spaulding and a newer Mizuno forged and milled version.

The brass Bullseyes were sand cast from yellow brass which is super soft. That gives them a unique feel. The new Scotty Cameron ones are mostly a steel alloy that is machined then Platinum Plated. I had one of those originally but the older ones outdo them. That is why I get almost any of them I can reasonably.

That old MacGregor wedge I got is awesome and it is late 60's vintage likje Jack actually played with. He fell in love with MacGregor andbought the company but later sold it and they moved from Columbus Ohio to Albany Ga and lost all their true craftsmen and women.

I think the center shaft is what gets me. Any center shaft just looks/feels odd to me cause Ive always had heel shafted. Also, every single other club in the bag is heel shafted so you kinda get used to that

Ever hit a Bullseye? It is so simple to line up. And you merely rock your shoulders smoothly.

One elderly guy I golfed with last year saw me sink a 50footer downhill putt with mine. He told me " I have been playing over 50 years and that was the prettiest putt I have ever seen in person."

I said "Thank you, tht's the nicest compliment I have ever had." At the end of the round, he told me " You don't miss many putts!"

The brass is amazing.

But you swing them, you don't putt with them do you? Big difference between an iron shot and a putt.

No difference for me - neither goes in the hole. I played at local contry club last week, shot a 72... got so excited I couldn't play the second hole!

This is true.

how-EH-vuh...

I forgot my putter one day. First couple holes I tried the driver, hybrid and 3 iron. Not workin well. Third hole, start using the blade of the lob wedge. Wow! Real long ones are tough, but would probably be surprised how straight and true you can putt from 15' and in like that. Ill actually do that for practice once in a while as it kinda forces you into a nice stroke.

Fast forward a month or two, and a friend of mine gets one of this style:



As I said before Im not a big fan of "weird" clubs, and I always wondered where that design came from. I gave it a few strokes on the practice green, then the light bulb goes on. Ding!

What does this look like?



Yes, it is very similar to the view of a wedge at address...


Not totally sure what my point is, haha. I guess that putters can be more like regular clubs than you think.

And yeah, I have dabbled with a bullseye. They are hard to use cause the weighting gives you so much freedom in your stroke, if that makes sense.
