My little boys Christmas gift (from Me)

[cloran]

When my son turned 2 years old I spent way too much money on a set of right handed junior clubs and a bag from golfsmith... now that he's 4.5 years old it turns out he's lefty. DOH!

When I'm chipping around in the back yard my daughter (3 yrs old and a righty like dad) uses one of my son's old clubs, and my son hits balls with the back of the other iron... he does quite well all things considered.

I promised him I'd get him a lefty set, but being so busy I just let it slip.

As fate would have it I got an email from the Wishon company last week. They were having a blowout sale of many of their heads trying to just get rid of the loose pieces, etc. They were selling their forged blade heads for $4.00... wedge heads for $2.00 etc. I was working so it took me 2 hours to get to the website from the time I opened the email. 99% of everything was gone, lol.

Except for the lefty stuff!! PERFECT! Christmas was 2 weeks away. I'll make my boy a set of irons for Christmas. My heart was warmed, lol. (I was able to grab myself an 8i and 5i to try out in the 555m forged muscleback blades. I shafted them with a couple of spine aligned, TTDG X200 shafts... I can't wait to hit them)

I picked up a lefty 2i hybrid head, a 4i hybrid head, and a wedge head. I grabbed a putter from PIAS for $9.99, and I got some misc. junior grips at golfsmith for $.77 a piece. I took the heads off a few clubs I had lying around and they fit perfectly in the 4h and the wedge. I butt trimmed the putter and regripped all three clubs. The 2i hybrid has a .335 hosel and as of this moment I can't find anything in that size. At least not for a price I'm willing to pay.

Long story short, I built my boy's set tonight. His first set of lefty irons will consist of a 4i hybrid, a forged wedge, and an anser style putter... with STIFF steel shafts, lol!!!I'm thinking about bending them 6* flat

I can't wait to give them to him. Here's some pics:

EDIT: OOPS WRONG PIC, LOL!!!

You should read Whole Brain Power. If you can get your son to work on being somewhat ambidextrous it would be greatly beneficial for him in all phases of life. The other day I was talking to a friend of mine who is an assistant coach for a college football team about the book and he was raving how great it would be to have a team filled with ambidextrous players because it would make them much better technique wise. Right hand dominant O-Linemen would now have equal punching power from both sides. A right handed QB could possiblely roll out to the left and throw it left handed more accurately than if they had to throw it across their body. It was a pretty interesting conversation.
