- leftygolfer15: “I’ve tried the OLYSS as well as another profile. It’s absolutely incredible stuff. I’m currently in search of a new driver with a bit more loft, and I’ll be dialed in. Excited to try the new AXS, PTAD and TPOC ZW models soon!”
- dokodiy: “(Ozik) printed in the graph! nice!”
- BottleCap: “The graphics look like Matrix, which is no surprise.”

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

So, how do you decide which shaft is for you? The USGA doesn’t test shafts, and there are hundreds to choose from. I was at Mits a few years ago in Carlsbad and saw thousands of shafts in the warehouse. Of course, the heavier the shaft the lower the trajectory and lower spin, so figuring out whether a 50-60-70 series is right isn’t so hard in matching your required firmness and desired trajectory, but how do you figure out which BRAND and model to use? Mits-Project X-UST-LA…on and on…which one is the right one? I guess Club Champion or a PGA Pro are the ones to see, as Golf Galaxy Hamburger Flippers are definitely not qualified. I wish there was a PGA website that could give you solid suggestions for shafts.
