Forum: Club Making & Components

Installed some MCC +4 Midisized, 1 round and want to get them pulled. My usual club guy is not around so looking for someone to do the work at reasonable cost. PM me. Thanks !

Does this seem right? Just had 4 irons which had loose heads taken apart and put back together by a local dealer. $80 plus tax. I couldn't believe it! Am I out in left field or are they? What would you pay?

I don't know if this question even makes sence, but I'll ask it anyway. I currently playing an original TM R7 that has the stock MAS2 stiff flex shaft in it. The head has a 10.5* loft. Problem is that I hit this puppy a mile high and I'm sure that it is causing me unnecessary distance loss. ...

Last spring I made a terrible mistake...I let someone I didn't know very well hit one of my clubs.:shhh: Buddy and I are at a range hitting some balls with this other guy that I didn't know that well. Golfing season is just starting, grass tees are open at the range, time to go hit some balls...

I want to get a shaft that was pulled from a standard bore and have it installed in a full bore Titleist head. Here is the info on the shaft: Accra T70 M4 3 wood length, plays to 42.5" in a TM smoothie-no grip. Tipped normal 1" for 3 wood--no extra tipping. Can I install this in a 5 wood...

I want to know how stiff is a PX 5.5 compared to DGS 300, are they pretty close in stifness feel. Thanks Claude

Got this from clubmaking Wire. Has anybody tried these irons yet? They claim that these irons are getting rave reviews from golfers and clubmakers and it may be so. Anyway check them out. http://www.clubmakingwire.com/gw_2004_05_28.html

I just had a few clubs re gripped and noticed the 'Golf Pride' might be a little off. With my wedges, at address, my lower hand/thumb is lined up with 'Pride' lettering - with my newly re gripped clubs, they are not - the lettering is off to the Right, enough that it's noticeable and potentially...

Anyone know where I can get red ferrules in 3/4 inch size in Ottawa? I am thinking I will have to order from US from http://www.cell-parts.net Anyone know of other places I can order/buy red ferrules? Thanks :-)

Get a laugh from this one..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bfBQeDqq2A

It worked! 4g of hot melt glue-gun glue in a 260cc titanium driver head. I heated the sole with the face up at a 45* angle so no glue would touch the face, moved the heat gun around every 8-10 min, and the glue was totally melted. Then I let it cool in a slightly toe up position, face still up....

How would define a spine in a golf club? Simply put a poorly made shaft has usually 2 planes 90* to each other. One plane is stiffer than the other. When one plane has 10 more cycles per minute than the other it means one full flex difference between the 2. To make it easy to understand let's take...

If I put the 5 iron head on the 6 iron shaft will this hard step one step since the tip has been cut 1/2" more than recommended? If so I could then butt extend b4 I re grip. Never have done this b4 am I thinking straight? Is there a way to hard step w/o regripping? Remember they are parallel.

Hi all, I was looking into a few of the SMT driver heads on their website, and I noticed that the DB 455 has a lie angle of 56 degrees, while the Spectrum's is 58 degrees. This is not a SMT question, though. I have a natural draw tendancy off the tee, and would not need a driver to add to...

Here is an easy way to put back a loose ferrule in its place. If you ever change your spikes you can use the same tool tool in a vise. After roughening up the shaft where the ferrule originally was ,mix up a bit of 5 minute epoxy.Then heat the ferrule with a heat gun for no more than 5 seconds or...

Does anyone have any info on the difference between a men's undersize grip and a ladies grip? Trying to find a ladies grip similar to the GP Tour Velvet, but without the rib. How do the undersize and the ladies grips compare? Does anyone know? Thanks Garth

Hey, I'm regripping a new set of irons and having trouble getting the old tape off. It seems the manufacturer uses a pretty strong solvent, and the tape was pretty much melted to the shaft (can't be peeled off). I have been able to get it off, but it is taking forever to scrape off...I've...

Is there an easy way to remove the paint from ones irons?

Would anyone know if I can have the bounce of my wedges ground from let's say 12 to 6 degrees? Does anyone know where I could get this done? Thanks Patrick

I just wanted to find out about when changing grips how important is it to keep the same grip weight when it comes to club weight and balance. i want to switch grips but the ones I use now are 64gm and the new ones are 54gm. Doesn't seem like much but when it comes to clubs maybe it it is, you...

I have been doing a lot research online about grip installing with air and grip installing with tape and solvent. I have come a cross a ton of threads on the Golfwrx forum. Some of the most intriguing ones are about using regular masking buildup tape then solvent, as in not using two-sided tape at...

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?

golf works no longer has a clamp to do this. Golf town never did. Is there anywhere in the city to get this done? Thanks

I went to a fitting with the Callaway club van yesterday and we figured out that the Diamana Whiteboard 73 S was the best shaft for my driver. Now I have heard before that you should try to use the same shaft in your woods as in your driver. I am curious to know if this is a rule of thumb or just...

If you shorten the length of a putter from 35" to 31", the weight and feel is now lighter. I know you can add lead tape to the putter head. Are there any other methods to add weight to a shorten putter in order to get the orginal feel back? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

what is the tip size on these if anyone knows???? I am assuming they are .355 tapers Cheers Adam

I'm currently looking at a set of these heads but i play my stuff 2-3 degrees upright. I remember people always saying that you can't bend gunmetal. Is that true?

Ok guys…. remember I am a beginner at this. My 5 iron has 306 cpm in a 5 inch clamp without a grip. I prefer my clubs a little softer than stiff so this should be good for me . I think? Now if I want to match my 4, 3, and 2 hybrids would they then be made to 302, 298,and 294? My 4 hybrid is now...

So I'm thinking of doing some mods to a shaft and want to remove some graphics, but before I attempt such a feat I thought I should tap into the vast knowledge base here. So has anyone successfully removed graphics from a graphite shaft without damaging it? If so, how and what did you use?

Has anyone tried the Infiniti AW Grind wedges?

OK, I know I should be able to sort this one out myself but I simply am stuck. I will explain. I have a 7 wood sonartec, 41 inch, with an accra T 50-M4, (280 cpm) I hit it 230 straight as a die all day long. I have a 5 wood sonartec, 42 inch, but with an accra T60-M3, (270 cpm) I fade it and get...

OK here we go----remember I'm Scottish. GT and Golfworks---14 sticks @13.50 ea plus taxes :hissyfit: I don't think so :-) (GolfPride) Just been checking around on how to do this myself at home------looks like a piece of cake---really :) I have everything without even buying a thing except...

I hear the shaft makes the difference. Just wondering what would be the benefits of changing the shaft in my Driver. CGB R7 Superfast 45g Stiff. I hit it well when I do hit it but spray it on occassion. Don't hit it as far as with my Burner but more consistent. Have a FUJI E380S 65g shaft thinking...

I don't know much about clubmaking etc etc but was wondering if it is possible to pull a shaft out of my current driver and install it on a new head?

you play a set of irons that are way too soft of a flex for you? And I'm not talking going from a 6.0 to a 5.5, I mean what will happen if you go from a 6.0 to a 4 or 4.5?

Hey Club Builders, I know just about nothing about this aspect of the game, so here I am asking away! I just took possession of my new set of irons and they came with an Approach Wedge which is 51.5*. This is perfect for me because I always had trouble hitting blade type wedges with full...

Which gets the thumbs up for outdoors. Based on accurate readings please.

Does anyone know where I can get a .335 adapter sleeve for my R9? I'd need it shipped to Halifax. Plenty of them on ebay but I'm a little concerned about the quality of the overseas models. Thanks.

My dear clubmaking mentors, I finished my first 2 clubs for my son and my wife and now I'm really hooked! Have more shafts and tools on their way to redo my old set of Hagens. Something puzzles me though: to prep the tip, I use a utility knife and scrape the finish off all around the tip until...

Does a flatline frequency matched set produce the same flex across the set? I used to believe so but I am not so sure anymore. According to some in a flatline set the mix produces softer short irons. More later.

Anybody here use one of these yet? I've got some money in my paypal account and am tempted to pick one of these up to play with. If you've tried it, how would you compare it to other shafts you've used.

Anyone have any ideas on what the best way to remove rust from the face of a set of irons would be? My MP33's have taken a beating it would seem and I need to bring them back to a more user friendly appearance. They have the face only a mother would love... Steel wool, lightly dremmel-ed,...

Had a fitting today and they suggested switching my stock graphite shafts in my Big Bertha 06 irons to some Dynamic Gold 370 steel shafts. Should I do this or should I save my money? Scott

Does anyone know how to trim the new NovaTech golf shafts from KZG?

I am thinking that all of the putters I have picked up over the past (*#$ yrs) are ALL too long. Can I have them cut down a tad, or will that screw up something (balance)? I had someone look at my stroke choked down and they said, and I felt and saw, a big difference in my swing path (more on...

I spoke to a few club builders and they told me it was possible to extent a putter 10 inches to turn it into a belly putter. I've always wanted to try one. I bought John's Futura Mallet and am planning to have someone take the grip off, add 10 inches, put a 1pc 21inch grip back on it. I know a...

My question is, how important is it? I got some new clubs matched to my old set (just lies and lofts) and for sh*ts and giggles the guy frequencied all of my clubs. Now, he was applying club length and frequency to a RIFLE chart and gauging the "stiffness" of each club (ex. 7.0 is extra...
