Forum: Club Making & Components

Thinking about getting the lofts bent 3* strong on my Mizuno Mp18 MMC Fli-hi 3 and 4i (i.e. 3i goes from 19 deg to 16 deg, and 4i from 22 to 19). I've heard irons are typically only recommended to be bent 2 deg up or down, so curious as to (a) whether or not this would be feasible, and (b) whether...

I'm sure this has been asked before on here but can the loft be bent on a fairway wood? I see that VJ plays with a bent wood and was wondering if this is something a local clubmaker can do or is it specialized.

Hey Club Builders, I know just about nothing about this aspect of the game, so here I am asking away! I just took possession of my new set of irons and they came with an Approach Wedge which is 51.5*. This is perfect for me because I always had trouble hitting blade type wedges with full...

If you have a 56* wedge bent to 58* what if anything does that do to the bounce of the club? Increase, decrease or nothing? Recommended people for this service?...also...is there anywhere in this area that offers loft adjustment and regrooving all in the one place? Thanks, Liam.

Is there anybody in the Ottawa area that is able AND willing to bend woods? I am thinking mainly for loft. Club I would like to get bent is an Ashton x-1 3 wood bent "strong" by >2°. NB - I know that actual loft on a wood is measured based on the relationship between the sole plate and the...

has anyone ever tried bending woods? was surfing through the scotty site and found this (see pic) is it only tour clubs that can be bent? or all clubs?

Can someone please give me a few reasons why someone would do this? I know its only 30g more than a 65g but in the golf world that is a lot. I can't think of any reason other than to slow the swing speed down :S

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...

who is it?

I'm considering purchasing a new non-OEM driver. I'm of the belief that the products from the better component companies are less expensive and at least as good as the OEM (Titleist, Taylor Made, etc.) models. However, I'm finding it very difficult to decide which component company to go with. ...

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?

Hey all, Need to get my irons re-gripped. Just looking for advice on the best place to go and best price. Cheers, Troy

Best place to adjust lie of irons

On the hottest and sweatiest days of this past summer my NDMC's didn't serve me that well so I'm looking to try other grips. Currently, I'm trying a new UST shaft so I thought I'd look at their grips. Has anyone tried the Comp DV or any of the other UST grips? ...

Hi Guys; I was on a web site that was reviewing irons, and the author said that forged irons tend to have tapered shafts because "better players prefer the feel of tapered shafts" I am no expert by any means but is this right? I have read a lot, and have never seen this mentioned before. I...

ok all you clubmakers... If anybody is searching for components, just let me know. I have great deals on True Temper Bi-Matrix shafts as well as other generic graphite shafts. I also have rolls of 2 way tape for a good price. Just send me a PM...

Does anyone know where you can get this service done in Ottawa/Canada. I have a Cameron that i want to get Black Oxided, but don't want to have to ship it to USA and pay the high shipping fees! Any help would be great!

Anybody know a place (in town) or some sort of DIY method in obtaining a black putter shaft? Either PVD or powdercoat or if there is some DIY way...

Alrighty guys, Here's a good deal that I have the opportunity to get in on...however any input regarding these progressive combo set would be much appreciated. Ever hear of Swing Sync irons? they are a blade type set...from appearance they look like a progressive cavity-blade combo set. ...

I was told this can be done. And from what I understand you take the tip from an old shaft to fill in the rest of the bore to the sole of the club. Is this correct?

Hello Anyone ever tried these on any of their clubs? There is also a grip for the putter. Thx

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

" This shaft is from a bore through and is 44.25" with 3" " What does this mean? Can I still put this shaft in a reg driver head (my adams rpm head)

I'm thinking of re-shafting my Callaway Steelhead 7 wood which currently has the Uniflex steel shaft in it with a new/pull-out from a Great Big Bertha II driver. It's not quite stiff enough for my drivers liking, but my other Callaway fairway woods have the stock stiff pro series shafts in them and...

I wanted to know how much a bore-through bore will stiffen a shaft? Approximately how many more CPM's would a shaft play say for each extra half inch (than standard) insertion? Does it behave the same as being tipped that amount? Thanks.

I've got a ping Anser hybrid which I didn't realize was .355 tip and grabbed a Kiyoshi hybrid shaft which is .370, anyway to make this happen within reason and in ottawa?

I bought two maltby putter heads on ebay. I was wondering, do I need some special kind of shaft or will any putt head shaft do? Anything I need to worry about in terms of balance? I want them both to be 34" putters and I'm going to install tiger grips on both of them :) They are heal shafted...

I realize this is more of a board for easteners, but can someone recommend a good builder in Calgary who really knows his stuff and also has some equipment in stock. I might get my own heads and get the shafts/grips locally from whomever I decide to go with here.

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...

So I'm re-gripping my clubs and wanted to build up the bottom of the grip to take away the taper a bit when I choke up. Does 3 wraps, four inches from the bottom seem about right to take away most but not all of the taper, just wanted to double check. Thanks.

by extending the butt end of your driver 1 inch will it change the overall stiffness of the club? i know it will change the swingweight but what about the stiffness. thanks JY

Well, that sounds pretty dodgey together. I was wondering if Butt Flex and frequency (for shafts) refer to the same thing or if they're totally different. The numbers for each seem to be related/close to each other. :scratchch Also, how do you spell dodgey?

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

just took the grip tape off my irons and noticed tiny bits of rust. upon further inspection i noticed that my shafts had been butt trimmed on what seems to be a slight angle. is this normal?

I picked up a set of PING I-10 WRX irons on eBAY that are +1" in length (1/2 " longer than I usually play) and shafted with Project X 5.0 shafts (a little softer than the 5.5 that I usually play). If I were to trim butt trim them 1/2 ". what would be the effect on the overall stiffness? i.e....

Brand new to this forum. I have some questions regarding getting clubs made. I went to have a launch analysis done and discovered that my driver that I bought 2 years ago is completely wrong for my swing. I was given the opportunity to try clubs assembled that better suited my swing. The end...

I ordered my first I-MIX head and shaft from Callaway Pre-Owned yesterday and I am curious as to what peoples experiences have been with them. I ordered an FT-i Neutral driver head 9* and a Fujikura Speeder 686 in Stiff shaft. I got this head to match my 3 wood. I picked up a used I-MIX Wrench...

Thinking of having a new shaft put in my Callaway driver. It will be a 335 shaft so I know a shim will be necessary because the driver is 350. Any recommendations for someone to do this in the Ottawa area. I want to make sure it is done properly and the head is not scratched or damaged at all. ...

My dad broke the shaft on his regular flex Call away X-14 6 iron today right at the top of the hozel. Will golf town and other golf shops locally be able to replace this shaft with the bore through design or will it need to be sent off to be replaced? Anyone have a suggestion where to send it...

I have these shafts on my irons and there was bag wear on the lower end. My clubmaker painted them over and now that paint looks crappy. :grumpy: I want to remove the paint. What is the best product to do this? :listen: Once removed I am sending the clubs back to Callaway, apparently they will...

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...

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?
