Forum: Club Making & Components

What is the correct way to fit a person for a putter's lie angle? How much of a difference does a degree or two of lie angle make in a putter? My understanding is that if your putter is too upright (i.e. toe up at address), you may tend to pull your putts left (for a right handed golfer).

WTB UST PROFORCE V2 GRAPHITE WOOD SHAFT (STIFF) and perhaps get installed into my 4 wood.

Hi, Looking to re-shaft a driver for a friend. He needs a driver shaft around 42 inches long and he has about a 90mph clubhead speed. Looking to get him in a regular shaft but not sure if i get a regular shaft cut down will it become stiff? Should I look into getting a senior shaft cut down so...

Is there anyone here on the forum that does good work? I need a few things altered and would like to get it done in the next few days. Thanks in advance. Brian

Any thoughts from the following thread? http://forum.OttawaGolf.com/showthread.php?t=47237&referrerid=0

Does anybody know the tip diameter of these irons? Are they taper or parallel? Thanks

Where is the best place to go in or around Ottawa to get fit for a driver? And not one particular brand, it could be anything.What is the newest technology for fitting drivers?

I dented my rifle 5.5 shaft on my PW and brought it to golf town to get it re-shafted. I got a dynamic gold s300 installed because they had no rifles and I was told it would be fairly similar because of the shortness of the club. Possibly a bit lower ball flight. Just like to hear some opinions...

Has anyone tried these? There seems to be quite the hype around them but I haven't actually had my hands on them yet. Can they only be ordered through the Iomic website? I'd like to know a bit more about the feel and performance of them before shell out the cash for them.

For those who did not receive the email yesterday, Wishon is discontinuing the 550 line and has all remaining heads on for $19 a piece. If someone is placing an order, let me know as I may want to jump in and pick up a few spares. GarthM

Hey, Just want to know. Can you add weight to a putter? I have this putter that I like very much but I would like it to weigh just a bit more. How do I do that? cheers, LAL

I'd welcome any information on whether Sharpro grips are good quality, particularly their version of the Golf Pride Decade Multicompound. I'm a relatively low handicap and currently use Golf Pride Tour Velvet. Thanks guys (& gals).

Someone asked me. What is a spineless ahft. well without going into too many details check the following. That video shows a club well oriented. A spineless shaft will behave the same way no matter where you orient it. spineless And here is how a shaft with a spine or not oriented behaves...

I've been playing a Pro Launch Red at 291 CPM which is too stiff for me when I'm not hitting it well. I'm looking for a shaft with tight dispersion and low torque. Mid launch is best. Let me know if you've found a shaft with these specs that you have had some success with. Thanks for the help.

I went to get some grips today, Winn Excel and they had gone from $4.30 to $6.20 since the last time I bought them which was probably late last fall. Anyone see any massive price increases there?

Well, it's finally time for me to regrip my irons. I was wondering if anyone had a little advice on where I might go in the city to try and buy grips. Also, anyone with advice on what kind of grips to go with, i.e. recommendations that would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!

What flex point do I need in my driver shaft to lower ball flight? Currently it has an Aldila NV stiff, mid flex/kick. Ball trajectory is way to high. What should I replace it with to help lower ball flight?

Any reviews on what's the best overall grip to buy (price NOT being an issue). Thanks

Hey guys, the shaft in my ft-5 snapped the other day on the course, and if i cant get the warranty for my driver i was wondering where the best/most reliable place would be to get the existing shaft taken out and replaced by a new one(kingston/ottawa area), and where could i buy a brand new diamana...

I have two sets of irons but can't decide which ones to game. Can someone tell me a bit about each shaft (in plain english)? The other set will just go into my backup set of irons. FST 115 (with vibration control) stiff vs. Rifle 5.5

Hi folks, I'm thinking about getting a set of 4-PW Tour EVOs made... Can anyone tell me how much would that run approximately? Also, what sort of information/options are needed to have it made? There're so many acronyms flying around this forum that it's all a bit confusing... Cheers.

I've read here that Sharpro make a cheap alternative to the Golf Pride Decade Mulitcompound grip. What's the verdict on these Sharpro's. Same feel and tackiness as the Golf Pride? Good durability? Anybody ever take a file to expose a new layer of rubber on the Sharpros? I thought I had also...

I can't seem to find the tip size anywhere for the Taylor Made Rac Pro Combo TP's. Does anyone know?

I am looking at 2 sets of Ping i5's, one with regular graphite shafts and the other with regular steel shafts. What are the pros and cons of going with graphite vs steel (or visa a versa)? thanks

So i was in Golfworks yesterday and it now seems that ALL of there prices have gone up. Golf pride Multicompound grips went from $7.25 to $9.75. They told me that everthing has gone up in price! Looks like i am looking for a new type of grip for a while $143 for 13 is a bit much!

Just wondering how much it would cost to have the lie angles adjusted on 10 irons and how long it would take to be done? Also who do you guys get to do them? Thanks

Comparing the two drivers, would it be correct to assume that the 460 is much more forgiving on the miss hits, but the R9 would be longer on centre hits? I thought I heard that the give up length sometimes to gain forgiveness. Please correct me, I find the 'smaller' heads are longer for me. Love...

Guys, is there anyone in the city of Ottawa who could install 13 grips for me and if so, how much to do that? Rob

I need a quick job done if possible. I just picked up a set of KBS Tours and need them installed into a set of TM 300s. I only really need the 5-pw at the moment, the 3 & 4 can wait. Problem is that I have a qualifying round on Saturday!! If anybody can help me out tomorrow, PM me Please!!

so a friend of mine asked me to find her a set of womens clubs but I want to go component set for her. She hits her drive pretty far. 200 yards. Are the heads on womens clubs different than those on mens (irons and wedges)? If not, then there is no problem. if so, I need some suggestions...

what can people tell me about these shafts? I have looked for reviews online but since not to many people play them i can't find to many reviews. There is a set in the classified i was looking at but never heard a peep about them. I read claims (independent tests) that their 6i at the same speed...

Hi I need to open the face on my driver but I don't know anybody in Montreal to open the face of my driver a couple of degrees (2*) and I DON"T want an R9... So any references would really be appreciated. Cheers Frank

I dont' have time to get fit as I need a new set of irons asap. Chief is putting the set together for me and said he would SW match them. He said he could MOI them as well but I don't see the point as I don't have a fav club to match it to and swing all my clubs equally badly. SO, without seeing...

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

According to the Grafalloy web site is says 1.25 for standard bore but golfworks says not at all! Any ideas? going in an R7 draw http://grafalloy.com/grafalloy/trim_prolaunch65.asp http://golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_TT0014W

Hey Everyone, Has anyone ever had any issues getting a Cobra L4V reshafted? Golftown refused to work on the club, telling me that they couldn't heat the head without damaging the graphite in the head. I read a lot about these being reshafted (pretty much everyone does it). Just curious.

My fellow forum members,I come to you today in time of need(oH,sorry'wrong speach) I have been trying a 15 deg.Nakashima driver with a reg.Taylor Made shaft in it.As you guessed the ball is going very high and not so long.My question to you is; what shaft can i put in this to lower the flight and...

Hi Folks, Just wondering who everyone uses for Club Assembly/Repair/Reshafting/Regripping, etc in the Kanata/Ottawa area? Generally what would one expect to pay to have a shaft extracted, and another shaft installed in the area? Thanks in advance!

OK, so at the beginning of the season I reshafted my two drivers to experiment on the effect of a softer tipped shaft. The two heads in question are Wishon 919s, one at 9.5* and the other at 11*. Both were hand picked so the lofts are accurate. The shaft in question is the Aldila NVS-75s. ...

I currently play a V2 regular flex shaft in my 10.5* driver. It hit it high(for the most part) which is good because I get lots of carry but I wouldn't mind lowering the flight a bit....especially because when I play into the wind I have major problems with ballooning. I have also noticed I get...

I am looking for your recommendations on a club fitter. I am finding some problems with my driver, mostly think I am getting robbed in distance. I have tried a number of drivers and always seem to have a high launch angle and high spin rate(as a result of my steep swing) but have reasonable...

I'd love to hear from all the club builders here freq matching? pured shafts? swing weight matching? MOI matching? how much of a difference does this stuff really make? maybe someone can dumb down exactly what each of these are (for indio) and how they would make a difference

I have an old Spalding TPM Tour Series 16 putter that I'm interesting in restoring to something a little closer to its original glory. It's of little value (to anyone other than me) so I can afford to take some chances. From what I can tell, it's stainless steel with a black finish. It's been...
