Any here know the specs on these? I have a mint set I want to reshaft but do not know if they are 355 tt or 370 p Thanks

I was just wondering what everyone's opinion was on using shaft extensions rather then buying new shafts and them cutting them to desired length? Thanks in advance for any input.

I've heard all sorts of rumors that you should never lengthen your clubs b/c it changes the head technology and the manufacturers build their clubs to work at that length. I currently hit Taylormade RAC OS2 and I have an inch and 1/4 added to every club as I'm 6'4" and standard length feels a...

If anyone has david tuttel's site for all his note's on club building, i'd like to have please, my comp crashed and i lost everything i had on him. "thanks"

Hey boys, i'm at it again. I gonig forward with moving to a all comp set. What is a good set of iron heads? I don't really care about the price. I did enjoy playing with my G2s but I really want to build my own set. I'm still looking for something forgiving, maybe forged but doesn't have to...

My bro-in-law has an FT-5 with a stock shaft and brought it to a reputable clubmaker in a store to have the shaft replaced with a Aldila By You Proto. He was suggested this shaft at a Callaway fitting. The club fitter told him that he could not remove the shaft as the heat to remove the shaft...

I have a club head speed of over 100mph... i'm looking at a driver with a Accra T-50 M4 shaft ... i'm told its "stiff flex" and it weighs 52grams... is this a good choice for me? Thanks!

I am interested in purchasing a lie/loft bending machine as there is not a single person who does this in my area. I have looked at the ones at golfsmith and golfworks, but I just cannot find anywhere that lets me know which is the better deal or superior machine. Any help is much...

The club I want says it has this shaft STIFF Flex Pershing Shaft by Graphite design Factory installed upgraded High Performance shaft But it seems kind of cheap, even though it is brand new.... so my question is, is this a good quality shaft? thanks

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

What is your opinion on regripping putters? Should you treat it like every other club in the bag when it comes to grips? To regrip or not? that is the question....

Adams Insight XTD Pro 10.5° just waiting to be shafted! SWEEEEEEET!!! Look out 300 yards, here I come again! :-)

I'm looking to replace the set of irons I currently have with a new set. I've got my eyes on a set of TM CGB MAX irons but am wondering if a custom set would be just as good maybe even better if they're made just for me and my height (6-2) and swing speed (slow). I'm recently retired and would...

Hi everyone, I need to get a new shaft installed in my Tour Edge Exotics driver. I will be supplying the shaft and grip. Anyone out there want the job? I am looking for someone who obviously knows what they are doing. This is my tournament driver, so it needs to be done properly. How much...

In case any of you haven't tried these shafts out yet, you should. I replaced my bent at the hosel Project Xs with a set of these tip trimmed in 0.5" increments starting at 6" in the wedges, which is right between S and X, and I have to say I am very impressed. Very solid feel, good...

Got my iron heads in last night and they are beeeautiful. Grabbed 4-w in the new MacGregor MT Cavity forged Gunmetal irons. I almost don't want to shaft them up and hit em they are so puuurdy!! I'll post some pics shortly!

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...

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?

Who can do custom engraving in putters in the region? I'd like to get a sightline (or dots) for my Ping G2 Tess.

I have a set of irons pruchsed from geoff and its amazing how much these wedges spin the balls. I hit shots into the green with them its it just sticks and even comes back sometimes. He told me that the wedges had been sharpened... what does it mean and how is it done?

Hi, To all Clubmkaers: I need a shaft put in my driver. It needs to be done by tomorrow afternoon. I know there is not much time between now and then.. but is there any Superman's out there???? LMK.

I've heard that the orange shaft is not as stiff as the green shaft .. Any feedback from you guys? Thanks ..

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 want to reshaft my Taylor made R5 Driver 10.5 from the stock stiff shaft to the Fujuikara 360 reg. I am thinking of going 44.5 inches long. Any comments on the length.

A question for the other clubmakers out there. How many of you have seen shafts bent just above the hosel through regular use? I have been stinking it up with my irons this year, so I pulled them apart to add some weight to see if it would help and when I was putting them back together as I was...

Hi, Looking to try one of these drivers out. I have heard great things about both brands. The Gemini and Deep Bore, especially. I would love to hear some feedback on each. What do you prefer? Which club is longer? More forgiving? All feedback is welcome! Thanks.

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...

Just wondering if anyone had them ? What are your impressions of them - are they very forgiving ? I'm considering them for next yr .... Thanks.

Firstly, aloha from Hawaii! I have a question regarding a set of iron heads I recently acquired. They are Macgregor CF-4000 PT-2's, and I'd like to begin reassembling them for play (they've been refinished, so I don't think they're worth much as a collectible). However, the hosels have holes...

Can any one tell me if the DG S300 iron shafts are extremely "butt stiff" as compared to other shafts (ie. PX, FS ProWhites, DGSL etc)? Does the overall frequency profile of the DGS300 establish it as a true S-Flex shaft? Thanks in advance

True Temper Dynamic Gold Ultra lite (97 grams) I'm a 19 cap, I hit my 7iron about 155-160 usually. Ball flight is pretty average. These re a firm flex. They have been spined, Freq. matched..

Looking for some advice... I have a smooth swing and relaxed tempo. I hit a 7 iron around 155-160 max. I hit my irons with a med ball flight. I swing around 95-100mph with a driver and can count on 250 yards or more. I am looking for a shaft to put in my NEW exotics XCG driver.

I was wondering what effect, if any could be noticable if I went from a 90g iron shaft to a 115g shaft, discounting any shaft variations. Currently I have the T-step 90g shaft in my irons and am thinking about replacing them with some rifle 5.0s. What can I expect? As an aside, I have a...

Wondering if anyone knows the tip size for shafts in these, are Mizuno's all the same? I have TP-9's and they are .355. I have been given a set of lefties and they are stocked with R shafts (which I have not yet pulled) and wanted to know what size tips I should be looking at throwing in. Itchy

http://www.golfsmith.com/email/FFSS08 Above is the code for the Golfsmith Friends and Family sale. They went back up to 40% on heads, grips are included in the sale as are all shafts... I wonder what Golfworks will do to counter... In the past when GW offered similar sales, did their...

Just wondering if any other clubmakers out there have experienced anything like this before? 3 times now I have purchased Rifle Spinner wedge shafts and every one of those shafts has been way out of spec. According to the spec they should be 124g, but get it home and weigh it and its barely...

Are the moi club scales (Golfsmith) worth the money in building an moi matched set vs the mathematics Tutelman entailes? It seems you still have to trim to .1 of an inch and add lead tape and possibly shave metal off iron heads. Am willing to spend the money but need feedback from users to...

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

I know to truly profile a shaft, taking a reading along many points of the shaft is required. But in general, shafts can be categorized based on butt stiffness, mid stiffnes and tip stiffness, no? With that being said, what type of shaft would be best suited for someone with an aggresive...

Hi, I am shorter than average (5'6'') and was looking to get my irons cut down. Probably atleast an inch. I have a couple of questions. How will this affect my shaft stiffness after they are cut? Will I lose a considerable amount of distance by doing this? Hope you lads can help me out!

Hey guys. I was wondering if someone could help me out with the diametre of the Ping G10 Fairway. I'm fairly certain it's .350, but I need to make sure. Thanks in advance.:)

I'm thinking about replacing my Callaway X-18 uniflex steel shafts with graphite. Since they are bore-thru, would it be a problem saving the steel shafts for future use or would the steel shafts be ruin in the process?
