Usually done as a single step .... 5i shaft into a 6i head etc. Can a dble step be done .... 5i shaft into a 7i head ?? Wasting the shaft ?? Actually I am taking a set of shafts from blind bore heads and wanting to install some of them into a partial set of bore through Callaways. Thus the dble...

Hi, I am in the process to buy a new driver and I am interested by a club maker who makes my new driver ? How much for a new driver custom and where is the best place ? If the club maker speak french, it's a big + for me. THX

So I swing around 85-90mph so I am supposed to have a regular shaft. I have a burner with a stiff shaft and I have learned to use it and it still has a manageable fade. If i reshaft the driver to a regular shaft, what can I expect in terms of ball flight. Longer? Straighter? Will it promote...

Does Golftown fix Sun Mountain golf carts?

I know that there are a few SMT and Wishon users on this site. Mike Tait has designed two new driver heads for 2006 that look interesting, and Tom has added some other choices to his array as well. The INDIO, a 430 cc head, is based on the slightly smaller Babylon's structure, but with some...

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...

Are there performance issues with putting a .335 tip shaft into a .350 hosel? Do you purchase a ferrule for this installation and do you recommend someplace to have this done? Has anyone ever done this before?

I had an entire post written and then the board screwed up and it was deleted.:biting: Anyway. I'll try to sum it up again. Hopefully it gets through this time. My question is how does someone go about getting fitting for shafts in their driver, fairway woods, and hybrids. I know GT...

Just wondering if its a good idea to cut the length of your clubs to suite your height and swing? Is this a common thing to do or should I adjust to my clubs? Where in the city would you get analyzed for something like this?

I thought the short shaft thing was a bit of nonsense but I tried short Driver & 3W last week out of town. Felt very easy to get on plane and definitely didn't lose distance, if anything gained it since more drives in the fairway and more centre/square hits. Has anyone tried short shafts in...

I am in the process of building my first set of clubs and I came to a quick halt. I am trying to remove the shaft on my TM Rac forged and somehow can't do it. So my question is what do you use to remove the head from the shaft. It is a steel shaft. I bought a heat gun good up to 1500 degrees. I...

I bought a set of irons off internet awhile back and the shafts are peculiar in that they say KBS Tour by fst? There is no weight on the badge just an “R” for regular flex. I found a short reference to KBS by fst on the net but could not find any link to determine the weight of these shafts and if...

Does anyone know if there is a way to calibrate a swingweight scale? The one I have is giving me a 2-4pt difference between what the scale reads and what the numbers of the head/shaft/grip weights/lengths indicate the SW should be. I have the Maltby scale (can't post link to it from work :(...

Just looking for someone to hotmelt a driver in east end if possible

I was looking at buying an Aeroburner TP head and putting my old Superfast Burner 2.0 Shaft (Matrix Ozik Xcon 4.8) on it. The AB TP specs indicate a .335 shaft tip diameter and the SF 2.0 specs state a .350 shaft tip diameter. When I physically compare the AB TP Driver to the SF 2.0, the SF 2.0...

I love the Graffalloy Blue, its gives me a nice low flight and low spin that I need with my swing. However I thought with all of the new technology advancements, there must be a shaft out there that gives me the low flight of the Blue, with the added benefits on technology.

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

I say it's bull. I've read the following on many golf grips websites but for some reason I have never saved 3-4 strokes per round'. Perhaps they mean grips that are 10 years old or very slick grips but look elsewhere for shaving strokes off your scores. ...

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

Golfmechanix loft and lie gauge. Almost new and selling for $65 US plus $50 US shipping from Golfmechanix website. Selling it for $50. (010616 Economy desk top lie and loft gauge) This is the number if you go to Golfmechanix website thanks

Anyone tried this? I understand the hosel is .350 diameter but I have read some are larger diameter. I want to install a .335 tipped shaft and am wondering if I can shim it and use a regular ferrule? Or do I need to order the adapter? My plan is to cut the shaft and drill it out rather than...

Has anyone tried these? www.enlowgrips.com They're jumbo grips with, as in the subject line, a reverse taper, that is they're thicker towards the bottom of the club, they start out at the top about the same diameter as regular grips, then get progressively thicker towards the bottom. A...

I was having a look on the GolfSmith Canada website and noticed their prices were cheaper by $20 to $30 per shaft on some pieces. I was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with them and if GolfWorks does price matching.

Should you be overly concerned about he lies of your clubs?? See following post from Tom wishon on Shoptalk. Also keep in mind that you will ever hardly find a perfect even lie on a golf course. RE: ShopTalk: Measuring Lie http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shoptalk/message/75059 Up...

I'm in search of precise measurements for 255 (5 iron) gram frequency weight for a frequency analyzer I built. I've found info on the 205 gram weight (woods) and have a successful build on that, and am waiting for the 1.75" steel rod to build the 454 gram (profiling weight). thanks in...

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?

Assume I use Dynamic shafts, R/S flex, 133gms raw weight, 43" long, with 12.5" tips. I will not tip any shafts, only butt trim to correct length. My grips will weigh 58gms. iron loft lie wgt/gms length 5 28* 59* 254 38.0" 6 32* 60* 261 37.6" 7 36*...

I was recently fit at a Callaway Fitting Centre (At their corporate headquarters actually) and the guy said that I would be better off matching the shaft in my wedges with the shaft in my irons. I am just curious if this is true or is it one of those long standing arguments and it will depend on...

Anyone do wedge sharpening...and if so, what do you use and how often?

i know this has been beaten to death but. i have a question. does anyone have the true specs on the following shaft - Fuji 757 reg - Fuji 757 stiff - Mitsubishi Diamana Blueboard reg - Mitsubishi Diamana Blueboard stiff - Mitsubishi Diamana Blueboard X

I am looking to replace my 3 and 5 wood. However with all the hybrids on the market I am confused on the relative merit between the two. Do similar loft on Wood and Hybrids have similar launch charateristics? Should I use similar shafts in either H or W? Do hybrids hit more like irons?...

Trying to decide on a good game improvment custom club. I'm leaning towards the KZG OC1. I am mainly looking to improve my mistakes and gain a bit of distance. Any suggestions?

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.

Thinking about getting myself a new set of Titleist 716 CB/MBs and was looking to see what people suggest is the best option for getting fit for the right shaft. I'm currently playing KBS Tour V's in my Apex MBs and I'm not all that thrilled with them. I'm mainly just looking to see what...

Went to meet Downhillslider for the first time for a iron fitting. Great guy & a lot of knowledge about fitting. I was mostly concern about lengths, weight & swingweight for my new shafts.What would be the best fit for myself. Les gave me all the info that I should need to make my decision a bit...

Just had my grips done by downhillslider ( Les ). Great job and even took time to measure the lofts of my clubs and weight very impressed. Thanks again Les

This may be one of the prettiest component heads ever. Aside from the obvious references to the TM RACs and the Ping S58s, this is a very nice effort by Golfsmith. :thumbsup:thumbsup

How much yardage is usually lost by shortening a driver by 1 inch? How much does accuracy go up? I swing at 103mph now (can swing it 110 but 103 is under control and focusing on all the things that are needed for a good swing). If I shorten my driver is it also a good idea to shorter my 4w? ...

Best place to adjust lie of irons

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...

Hi, Just got a new set of Ping i10's with AWT reg shafts. Was looking to upgrade to stiff shafts but I don't know what the hosel diameter is for them. Does anyone know?

Having reshafted a Big Bertha steelhead 3-wood with graphite, I need to add about 13g of lead tape to the head to get the SW that I want. What is the best place to add the weight on the head given the hawkeye sole plate? Too much at the toe or heel and I will get undesireable results I imagine. ...

So my Nike Sumo 5000 came at 45.75" and I really don't like it that long plus i am changing the grip this week so is there anything special i have to do it cut it? I guess better question is anything i shouldn't do? can my normal saw do this? I want to take it down to 44.5" Thanks ...

Hi. New here but have seen enough expert advice to know I can find an answer here. I have a hybrid head with a 370 hosel, and am going to get a grafalloy hybrid shaft with a 350 tip. I've seen shims and bushing ferrules at various online retailers, but none seem to be made for this particular...
