Their joint is not 12.5mm. Obviously that would be the ballpark of the tip. I assume you meant 21.5mm. (Edit: I see someone else already brought this up)

Balance Rite. If they’re still in business. Weighted and balanced. You can easily play your entire life with one if you wanted to.

Ah, thanks.

I think Tommy Kennedy and even Reed Pierce would qualify as Cinderella winners. I remember that Gabe had been on a tear heading into the Open, so I wasn’t surprised he was there in the end his year.

Does this mean I can no longer use my Aramith ball cleaning liquid? Pretty sure it has some wax in it.

Just an interesting add… my grandparents were naturalized citizens. The irony is that they became citizens decades after my parents (and we three siblings) did. My maternal grandparents joined us in the US when they were already senior citizens in the 1980’s.

i guess I’ll hold on to mine as a collector’s item!!!
