   I started having my clubs pured about 5 years ago and would NEVER consider playing irons, woods, and especially wedges that have not been pured. Consistant feel and ball flight are the most noticeable characteristics to me personally. The only thing holding anyone back should be the cost, $50 being a little high, should be $30-$40 per club. Other than that you should have no excuses. Pay no attention to the bashers on this board, puring is the real deal.

   I played a Tour Edge driver for 4 years until the 3 piece head began separating, had to retire her. Best driver i have ever played. Tour Edge will do well with this campaign if the manufacturing quality control and demand can be met.

   Recently ordered a new accra driver shaft. During the puring process the SST machine numbers were way off according to the build shop, the shaft was matching up to a 3 wood, not driver. New shaft is exactly what i expected. Imagine that?

   I use those machines, I actually use the one in the pictures, every day and I still hand spine my own clubs. If that tells you anything.

   How much will this really help the average or better player? 0-1 yard more distance and as much in accuracy?

     Exactly! This is a gimmick at best.

     Actually it makes a world of difference in feel, accuracy and distance in that order. Real world testing and Iron Byron both show Puring is legit and is very beneficial to most golfers. If you doubt the independent studies, I have 2 identical 4 hybrids (one mine and one my sons) which I will wager you $1000 are like night and day to hit. All my buddies who doubt are completely blown away after hitting both side by side. In bind tests Puring wins 100% of the time.
     For me the feel is the thing that stands out the most but Pured shafts are confidence builders as well because the feel and accuracy is better.
     The cost factor is the holdback on Puring. $50 a club for the most part. I can only afford my driver and hybrid. Most golfers would benefit from the Tour fit of a 44″ driver with a Pured shaft. Solid contact in the center of the face trumps head speed according to Trackman.

       Comparing 2 identical hybrids is meaningless in this context. The 2 clubs may be identical, but shafts hardly ever are. That’s why pros go through so many shafts (of the same model) when they get fit.

       The only test that would be meaningful would be to use the same hybrid and shaft. Hit it with the shaft in its spine-aligned position, then pull the shaft and rotate it some amount and re-epoxy it and then hit the club. I doubt anyone is going to do that.

       But, with adjustable tips on drivers, it would actually be pretty easy to do it with a driver. It would change the loft and face angle of the club, but if you hit on a launch monitor you could get good data on the club head speed.

       Anyone out there have an adjustable tip driver shaft that has been spined and has access to a launch monitor and wants to give this a go?

       If you suck it usually is pure so save 50 because you are purely wasting money. You can not buy a golf game

     How does that work with adjustable heads if you have the spine facing the target and change the loft the spine moves.

   How do you align a spine on a shaft that rotates on an adjustable hosel?

       so then thats like buying the glued hosel, that’s why adjustment is really only good for fitting process. How many people do you know that before each round adjusts there head before play? I know exactly ZERO! I’ve asked the same questions when the first Driver that came out with an adjustable adaptor to glue on shaft, why do we really need all this adjustability, it’s really all BS, but everyone has bought into it. What happened to getting fit, then keeping same head for a couple years? TM developed a new driver every 3 months making claims of 17/ 10/ 15 extra yards every new head over last 5 years. Well if this was in fact true we’s all be driving the ball over 375 yards on average. What ever happened to spine/ Flow pointless unless you keep in same position so then again we don’t need adjustability end of RANT Ty

         I’ve read that none of the different types of spine alignment help at all in terms of distance and accuracy but they do help with feel. As far as adjustable drivers, people do tweak their swings and try new golf balls every once in a while. Swapping out shafts and tweaking settings with a simple click of a torque wrench is worlds easier than blasting the hosel with a heat gun and hoping your $300 shaft doesn’t melt.

         Again another baseless rant. Taylormade never claimed 15,17 or 20 yards between every model just an average of what players were seeing when they switche out of whatever they were playing to the current model. I gained 15 yards when I switched from 07 burner fairway to the RBZ and then 5 more with the SLDR which I didn’t get because my exotic is longer than them all. As far as shafts puring absolutely works although the benefits are not as evident as they would have been 5 years ago as shafts are being designed with adjustibilty in mind and most shafts now have very little to no spine but it is a cool service if a company would check to make sure the spine is aligned in a set of irons to offset any lack of quality control from the shaft company. And last you must still think the earth is flat because I cannot believe I just read your comment dismissing adjustable drivers as valid technology. Adjustability gives options and for me it allows me to adjust to conditions. The conditions I play in range from 45 degrees with rain requiring more loft and spin because my swing also slows down with the cold and extra gear to 115 degrees with lots of wind where my swing speed is about 12 mph faster and I don’t want the ball launching really high. I don’t adjust every time I play but in extreme cases it’s nice to be able to adjust loft. It really works I have tested it thoroughly.

         But taylormade drivers are typically the longest year in and year out. So guess it has all added up over time?

     There is Honma perfect switch clubs, the only system that lets you adjust the loft without moving the shaft around.
