After much deliberation on what to pick up next for my sticks, I decided to go scratch AR-1/EZ-1 combo with the KBS Tours. Thanks to the people who helped me with my decision on here a few months back.  The Scratch Sticks were amazing out of the box but I wanted more feel.  I decided to get them refinished, along with the shafts done and these things feel great.  Alot of people think I am hitting fubukis but once they get a hold of them, they are amazed.  I am a loud golfer and some may think these are really out there but I haven't had a nicer looking, better feeing set of clubs.

Those look great. Did BOS do the refinishing for you?

So is your PW 48* and then a 50* and then 53*?

Or are your wedges bent to 52* and 55*?

Wow those look cool. by the step pattern those look like kbs shafts. Can you do that to my shafts? How is the durability? I called BOS to see if they can do them but i was told that they are not releasing the white yet. Set is loud but they do look cool.

I purchased my gauge design putter from GSM Golf and they gave me a deal on their refinishing of it, white with a black face. I posted pictures back in august. I went ahead and purchased my scratch irons from them after getting my putter. After a couple rounds with my scratch sticks, i sent them back for refinishing of the heads. They mentioned doing the shafts and I jumped on it. They are running a holiday special on their shaft refinishing and it was a great deal. I had my KBS TOURS done.

My irons are bent 2 degrees strong for a bit of offset. Wedges are 8620 Scratch. 50, 54, 58.

The durability of them has been great.  After every round, I just wipe the heads and shafts with a wet rag and dry them off well.  Of course, the finish does wear off with use but it's he feel that makes it all worthwhile. Here's some pics of my putter I had done a few months ago!! Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics...

Insane.  I would roll everything but the neon green--not my style, but it looks great.  I love the white shafts.

Those irons are by far the coolest look/color combination I've ever seen.  The white shafts and green ferrels/paint look amazing - well done matching the grips as well!

Thanks everyone for the likes. I was hesitant with the white shafts and weight added but I haven't noticed a thing during my swing. The quality of it is great. I'm amazed at the increased feel that refinishing offers to an already amazing head.
