Forum: Club Making & Components

I was going to regroove the faces of a few of my irons (I only use 5 besides my wedges) but I found out that the titanium faces must not be regrooved. I emailed Callaway and they confirmed this. :irked:They also said as long the grooves are not smoothed out they should be fine. Well the grooves...

Just in case : GW closed this coming Thursday and Friday closed for Inventory

hey question for all you guys, can an experienced person remove a grip from one club and install on another? i have never found this out before. thanks

Hey guys, i'm thinking of grabbing two Bobby Jones hybrids for next year and I can get em fairly cheap but they have a few chips on the top line. Is there anyone in Ottawa that will refinish a golf club? Sandblast the existing finish off and put another one on?

I think I saw a thread on this some time ago but will ask anyways. Does anyone know of a good component manufacturer who makes left handed forged heads? Cheers. Garth

How much does making the lofts 2 degrees strong affect the rest of the club, ie bounce, lie? is this somethink i will notice? Thanks

I know there were many discussing about this in the past, just wondering if anybody had found a place in Canada that would do it. I know that people say just go to an automotive shop, etc. but was curious if anybody has actually gone ahead and done it?? I have a set of Bridgestone J33 blades...

On a set of X100's which are .600 at the butt end will a .580 grip or a .600 grip feel smaller?

Hey guys, received a pulled VS proto Hybrid shaft today but i think it might be to short. What is the length i need for a 20 Degree hybrid 3 iron? The shaft i got is only 38". Also how will it act diffrent if i extend it? It appears to have been tip trimmed 2" and i read that you are not...

Sticky suggestion-shaft replacement guide http://golfworks.com/article.asp_Q_ai_E_376 http://www.golfsmith.com/pdf/oem_replacement.pdf

What approximate lengths would i need in rough form to reach a std length in finished form? In other words if i was using shaft pulls for heads, I had one seller contact me saying his pulls range from 38" to 33.75". I believe that a std 3 iron is about 39", so would 38" length shaft plus the head...

If i have hybrid shaft that is .355 can i shim it to fit a .370? and if so any diffrence in the way the shaft might play? THanks

I'm looking for someone who can assess and possibly refurbish some old hickory stick clubs... anyone in the Nat'l Capital Region who does that??

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

The beginning of last year I put a Proto By U shaft in my driver and I love the my new ball flight with that shaft. I bought a matching 3 wood recently (I play a Nike SQ and now have the matching 3 wood) and would like to replace the shaft in the 3 wood. I don't know the first thing about club...

I'm looking for someone in the Orleans area that can put together a club for me. I have a 2008 Taylormade Tour Burner TP head, and a brand new, uncut GD Pershing stiff shaft that I would like installed. I'm looking for the shaft to be tipped perhaps 1/2 an inch to play S/X ish... I don't have a...

I'd like to bend my 3 wood and hybrid open a degree or 2. is this possible? anything to worry about. I've got a TM R7 Ti 3 wood and a Rescue Dual TP hybrid if that helps.

Any of you guys ever experiment with one? I have a hard time getting my hands comfortable on a regular paddle grip and was holding my father in laws clubs this weekend which are gripped with Winn Oversize grips and though they would feel great on a putter. Any thoughts?

I am just wondering if anyone had information on the effect of weight configuration on ball spin rate for any TM drivers, in particular the Superquad. Right now, I have a 10.5 Superquad with the Proforce V2 High Launch 65S and I find that my launch angle seems to be fine and the ball takes off...

looking to pull the s300s and drop in nippons or another set of PX but dont have a club what size the hosels are anyone know? sooner the better

Just wondering if it might be useful to have a sticky thread in this section with links to tip diameter listings. Seems like the question about tip diameter for irons or woods gets asked a lot and a sticky with links might help direct people to the right place. Here are some links I use, and if...

Chris?? Anyone else?

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

Do any local club technicians offer the "hotmelt" treatment for clubs ? I've got a few tour issue clubs i'd like to reshaft and I want to holtmelt them to the proper swingweight and bias. Thanks !

Hey guys, so i'm thinking of going back to 1" over standard irons next year as playing at a half inch over still feels fairly short to me. Thing is that I rememember a set I had which played at an inch over in x and they felt like they weighed a ton in my hands. Am I correct to assume that if I...

When building a Hybrid (steel-shafted), is it treated just like the equivalent Iron, in terms of shaft selection and tip-trimming? Tip weighting options: lead plug weights (have used these, but need to add more weight than they offer) powder & cork (anyone know of a cheap alternative to a $16...

Soft stepping is taking a 3 iron shaft and putting in the 4 iron, 4 iron in the 5 and so on, correct? Hard stepping is doing the oppostie, correct? My question is, for a taper set of iron shafts, if you soft step, would the irons not be longer in length? And if you were then to butt trim...

Hey guys, i'm grabbing a couple of Bobby Jones hybrids to work on over the winter and just found out they are a .350 tip hybrid which limits my hybrid shaft options as I find most of the good ones are a .370. Is there a shim for this difference or do I need a clubmaker to bore the hosel out on the...

Hey peeps. I'm looking at grabbing two pretty banged up Bobby Jones hybrids for a winter experiment. Anyone know the best way/route to remove the existing finish on top of them or any business in Ottawa that would offer sandblasting or removal? Then i'm wondering what would be the best type...

If You Already Know The Basics To Club Making,, Knowing Your Own Club Length, Lie, Etc..etc.... And You Want To Find Out Your Exact Shaft Flex To Match Your Swing Try This.........go To Any Club Shop Or Store, I Prefer Going To Golfsmith Since I Live Nearby...but Make Sure They Have A Frequency...

I was researching the cost of reshafting. I found great deal on shafts, and I wanted to reshaft my driver. Golftown is charging upwards of 25 dollars to reshaft, which is going to end up being more expensive than the shaft itself. I was just wondering if there were other places in Ottawa that do a...

Any know the tip trimming instructions? Golfsmith says 1.25" for standard. Other sites say butt trim only. Graffalloy site doesn't have trimming instructions for Platinum. Their website sucks! I think it is 4" P.t.s.. Thanks for your help. :not-worth

I bought my TM OS Rac clubs three years ago. At that time I had a severe slice, but mostly with the driver. When I was fitted the pro recommended the above club. Over the years I have learned more about set-up, and grip and I have all but eliminated my slice. However now the draw is working and...

I bought a Titleist 585h 19 degrees and I would like to put a new shaft in it. Just wondering what some of the good hybrid shafts are, and would it affect the how it plays if I put a fairway wood shaft in it? Thanks

I just got a set of these and may want to re-shaft does anyone know for sure if these have parallel or taper tip shafts. Note these are the tour version not the regular ones.

Does anyone know approx. how much does it cost to re-shaft & re-grip clubs?... i'd be looking at doing 11 irons. I'm just talking about the labour cost, not the cost of the shafts or grips themselves. Thanks! Dean

Anyone one know which ferrule to use on an SMT Nemesis Driver? I know it's .335. Anyone have a golfsmith code? Thanking you in advance!:wallbash

I know I've asked this before, but where is the best place to get fitted? I'm finally ready, I think.:-)

I got my Acer XDS2 heads, that had the Grafalloy Pro-Logic's in them stolen outta my car! :grumpy: I bought a set of Callaway X-14 (3-PW) and would like to install some *firmer* shafts in them, as the regular shafts that are in them right now aren't doing it for me .. The Pro-Logic's aren't...

Alot of belly putters out there are converted 35 inch putters to belly putters. The issue here is that the heads on a regular putter is lighter and/or smaller then Belly putters? I know that SC has custom belly putters. If this is all true does anyone know the weight the custom setup should be?...
