I have started the process of flattening a left handed Hogan Speed slot and wanted to share a neat looking wood ring. The center is directly behind the sweet spot. Can’t wait to hit this beauty!
That is way cool Grux, looks like you have it sanded to perfection! What finishes do you plan on using…?
I just won 2 Persimmon Speed Slots on fleabay Driver and 3 Wood for $40.00 USD…
They are original and look pretty good, but I will likely re finish…
I am working on finishing up a flattened Wilson Staff Tour Block 3 wood that was part of a set I posted while back… like new on the finish !! Had to muster up some courage to take it apart in such prsitine shape! Will post it when I finish it.
good job!

Those were the laminated blocks that were made later. Usually finished in black. While they were made mostly for the mass production public, there were a few tour players that used them. I don’t think they feel as good to hit as solid persimmon, but I would rather hit one than a metal wood personally.
Yes this was finished in black. I am looking forward to comparing my bantam ben to the speed slot.
I will probably use a light stain to show off the ring. I will also post a picture when the refinish job is completed.
Cool!
Always like to see others efforts!,
my damn Staff 3 wood split thru the neck while reboring…
drill bit grabbed a backscrew remant and adios !
Oh well time to look for another victim for flattening! This stuff gets a bit addictive!
