Off We Go - AGCP Roundtable 5!!

The AGCP Roundtable 5 starts on Wednesday with a Demo Day. Followed by 3 days of terrific presentations on topics like MOI matching, tips and tricks for clubbuilding, how to handle business finances, marketing, and a lot of others. More than 60 of the best clubfitters in the world will again attend, and it is my favorite time of the year. Tom Wishon will be giving the Keynote Address for the Conference on Saturday and it should be great.


I will do a couple of extra blog posts this week to note some of the highlights of the conference. Off we go!

More AGCP Roundtable 4 Goodies....

There are a few specific tips and thoughts that I picked up from the RT4 clubfittting week. I thought some of you might be interested in them....


1. One of the big hits of the week was the "Swingrite" trainer available from Swingrite, an AGCP sponsor. I think everyone there who picked one up bought one! It helps you to learn the feel of a late release, a key to getting as much swing speed as you are capable of. I bought one too, I use it every morning before I go to work, and I think it works.


2. How to get hard-to-remove grip tape off shafts.........? Well I asked Keith Chatham from Precision Fit golf this and he immediately said Goo Gone. A citrus based cleaner that he uses to do this. Cannot wait to buy a bottle and try it.


3. There was a discussion about using tungsten powder down graphite shafts to increase club weight / MOI. Everyone said to not be afraid to do this with graphite, it does not create a problem.


4. Another AGCP sponsor sells the Silencer System....a system to allow you to put "rat glue" into a driver head to increase swing weight. I learned how to easily drill into the present hosel plug in a driver head and use the Silencer.


These are a couple of the best goodies I learned from the RT4................as usual, a week well spent!
