  1. Bore through metal wood reshaft

    I'm reshafting a Callaway metal wood and have the plugs sold by Golfworks to fill in the shaft tip but I am unsure how to install them. Do I use epoxy? How do you finish the sole plate afterwards? Any help is appreciated. GarthM

I normally use a midsize grip. My question is ...would building...

  4. Shaft truth.

    Is your golf shaft tip stiff or tip soft. Chuck Silco Jr has posted on his web site the profile of 9 different shafts measured at different points along the shaft length. Take a look if interested. http://home.att.net/~fsmatching/wsb/html/view.cgi-image.html--SiteID-765933.html
