Forum: Club Making & Components

how do you pick? with stuff sold at golftown you can go in and hit the clubs. what do you do for irons you are building yourself (or paying someone to build them for you). Anyway, I was looking at the Ke4 and the kzg... any suggestions? reviews?

Hmm, funny title, (insert joke here).. Anyways, I am wondering what shaft to put in my wifes new driver. She has used reg flex and ladies before, and I did not see much difference, maybe a little more consistent with the ladies, though. She hits the ball around 200 when hit well. I am not sure...

In a swingweight matched set of of clubs we are swinging 8 clubs(3-PW) with 8 different total weight and 8 different balance points .The 3 iron is in the 427 grams range total weight while the pitching wedge is in the 480g range.

Anyone know. I'm trying to find it but can't. I'm reshafting mine with a little somethin.

In response to my ongoing love-hate relationship with my Hogan hybrid, I'm considering reshafting with a 3 iron shaft. Has anyone tried this? Did you like the way it played? I haven't looked at the hosel bore yet but I'm assuming that I'll be able to fit it with a pull from my "collection". ...

Hi, I'm going through website(golfsmith, golfwork) looking for a new hybrid... What I'm looking right now is something similar to the Mizuno MP FLI-HI Hybrid. That club look more like an Iron, than the usual hybrid. Problem is that I dont find somthing for a left hand player... Anyone...

I just bought a 6-pw KZG evolution head set. I'm going to spine them, grip them, and do whatever else needs to be done. Any pointers? What is the dif between MOI matching and freq matching? Is this something I need to worry about? What about progressively heavier shafts? any info would be...

I must say I am very impressed with the site of myOstrich golf. In addition to all of the goodies, they have spreadsheets which you can use to choose a shaft, to calculate swingweight, or to chart a cpm frequency profile. If I lived in the States, I would buy a set of iMatch SL - Single...

I have a question for the formally trained and self taught clubmakers in this forum. I am thinking about learning to build my own clubs. I'm not sure I want to take a formal course, but I am not opposed to the idea. Here's my question(s): When you first decided to learn this skill, how did...

I just read on another forum that Don Irving from AG was awarded the Regional Clubmaker of the Year from the PCS. I would say, congrats are in order. No small feat...I imagine some of you know him...I'm from T.O. , so I just thought I'd pass along the info.

I have a Dia blue board 83 in an SQ head. Everytime during my downswing, I hear a click, or a series of noises, just prior to impact. I have checked the head, shaft and even looked under the grip for loose epoxy but everything seems fine. I have stood the club both ways up and stressed it, but...

thinking about doing a little bending job on my rac wedges. this can be done on these wedges right? and does anybody know if golf town does this, and what they charge per club/degree etc.. ? (junior) thanks alot.

I'm re-shafting a Cleveland 588 wedge and I have a few questions #1 is the shaft parallel or taper? I tried a parallel shaft but seems to be to tight... #2 Is the Dynamic Gold a good OEM replacement? #3 The current (OEM) shaft has a bronze tip (very small) does anyone...

Any ideas why this would happen. It went on the backswing, not the downswing.

Anyone have that little tool to sharpen the grooves on irons and wedges? I think mine need a doing over. Don't seem to be holding greens well on well struck wedge shots. LMK if you can and how much. Thanks.

Hey guys so after a few issues at the start of the season i have finally gotten rid of my slice with my driver and have been hitting it consistenly straight if not a little pull to the right (Lefty) for the last 4 rounds. My Currrent set up is a Nike SQ 10.5 with a Mercury Pro Kevlar shaft in...

Hello, I need some re gripping done at a reasonable price. Does anyone recommend a place or someone who does this. I need to do this soon too! THANKS!!! :)

going to pull a shaft from a callaway driver. Install it in a TM driver. The shaft is an accra T70 and i just want to there be a lot of tip prep showing. Also, not sure if the shaft is a .335 or a .350 so if its a .335 and I have to use a shim (is that right?) will that coupled with the fact...

They are very nice and accommodating re my inquiry a week ago. My irons were lengthened at callaway by a half inch using extensions as i had already purchased a std set prior to coming to them (2 yrs ago). My question? They have always felt a little 'funny' compared to the off the rack sets....

I need someone to "clock" a hosel on a Ashton hybrid for me. It sits a bit too closed for me. 1-2º max. The hosel is made of 304 stainless, so it can take the force no problem. Ashtons are made to be adjusted up to 3º. Who here can do this for me? Thanks. :-)

I am playing Nakashima NP-1 irons, and of all the stupid things I pulled my Nippon shafts and put in PX 5.5's based on my club fitters reccomendation. Sometimes we should just leave well enough alone. Every iron that I have the px 5.5 (3-PW) I constantly hit left. My driver and wedges are as...

I have a couple wedges that have the black finish on them, and i have been trying to get the finish off so it can rust. Anybody have any good ideas to get the finish off? thanks for any input

Just looking into regripping all of my irons, possibly my woods as well, just looking into how much the cost were? I would add the higher branded grip

what would be the drawback of a toe shafted putter? They have heel shafted so why not toe? Would you be more likely to have a closed face at impact?

Hi All, Do any of you have any experience with Bang Golf Components? If so, what is your opinion of the product (s) ? Regards

Hi folks, I have a TM Tour Burner 9.5" (07, non-TP) driver with Pershing 65g R shaft in it. It's a nice stick, very reliable, pretty long on solid hits. The only trouble is that it feels quite a bit heavier than my old Nike Sumo (the original one) with V2 shaft. So, after some digging, I've...

Where do I get a roll (assuming it comes in a roll), of lead tape, from an Ottawa retailer? Golfworks? Might GT sell some, or give me a small bit?

Is a heat gun with these temperature settings ok to use for removing driver, iron and hybrid heads? Two position heat switch; 250 °C and 450 °C Thanks Break68

Hey, I was thinking about reshafting my driver but...its 100+$ at Golft town for anything decent. Golf Works seems to have decent prices but I need to get it put together after I buy it. So does anyone have an idea of what the best way is? I was thinking of buying the shaft at Golf Works but then...

Hello folks I see that there are some differences between callaway clubs and other brand clubs for shafts installations and removing shafts. How can I remove shafts from callaway woods ? Thanks :P

Any recommendations on a good place to get fitted for clubs? Not looking for an insane set or anything but I also don't want to head into SportChek and get looked at by an 18-year old sales person who just got transferred over from the Hockey section because Winter is now over. I'd like to head...

I took a Ping fitting and was told that I should play green dot (2.25 degrees upright) in my irons. Should I also get my wedges bent 2.25 degrees upright? It seems logical but I read that many players play "standard" lie in the their wedges even though they may play flat or upright irons. Opinions?

I have been looking to replace my current set of wedges and have been looking into component brands... basically what got me looking is how sharp the maltby CER wedges at golftown look. After unsuccessfully looking online to determine if left handed CER wedges are made, I started looking into other...

Anyone know if Golfworks has a boxing week sale on grips or any sale anytime???:book

So I've "changed" (removed and reinstalled) the shaft in one of my drivers twice now and each time it has only lasted for 4 drives. I can't figure out what I might be doing wrong. Help please. Here's my steps: 1. remove old shaft (heat ferrule, remove. heat hosel, use club puller to remove)....

Well, long story short.... I was in a rush to get my 5 iron reshafted before going to Florida, I picked it up and only realised once in Florida that the shaft they put in is the same lenght as the shaft in my 6 iron. - Can I add a plug to the shaft to make it a little longer - Should I add...

I am currently on vacation in the sun and played with a guy who was using a 5 Wood with a 3 wood shaft. He really hit it well Would appreciate opinions, like this guy I have trouble hitting a 3 wood and am thinking of giving it a try. Thanks

I had to pick up some grips today at Golfworks and lo and behold, they have a pretty good selection of grips that are buy 6 get 6 free! I think all of the Lamkin grips were part of the deal, which is good for me since that's what I use. If you need to stock up, nows the time.

Other than Golfworks, is there other components distributors in Ottawa? I am looking to pick up a Diamana W+ series shaft, but Golfworks doesn't have them and Golftown (at least in Kanata) doesn't seem to carry that kind of stuff anymore. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Watch this and see the results , you'll be surprised https://youtu.be/V8VbtElCnD0

Hello, I'm a taller golfer with a set of Wilson Staff Di9 irons. I had a fitting at Golf Town that suggested I need my lie adjusted 2 deg. upright. I'd also like some lofts adjusted. The Di9s have such a tiny hosel that Golf Town and Golf Works won't touch them. Is anybody out there creative and...

Well after many years of fighting it, i have crossed over to the 'dark' side. LOL.I had a set of Tensei light shafts installed in my AP2 irons. I look forward to hitting them and see what all the hype is about. i expect to gain a yard or two and a bit higher ball flight or at least maintain the...
