Forum: Club Making & Components

After many moons of internal debating I finally took the plunge and put my Callaway X-22 3 iron into my shaft puller in the vise. Turned on the propane and pulled the Uniflex shaft out of the head and to my total shock and dismay the shaft came out in one piece with absolutely no slots cut into...

BC. In another post(http://forum.ottawagolf.com/showthread.php?t=12984) you wrote the following: ''If you have a shaft that works well for you, then it would be a good idea to have the shaft profiled, making it easier to find one that matches the first. Tom Wishon now has shaft profiling...

I have a 43" Kombi that I am looking to convert back to its original length of 34". I want to keep the belly length shaft in case I return to it, so I have these questions: What type of double bend offset shaft do I need for this particular putter (0, 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2); and Has anybody had...

Anyone have that little tool to sharpen the grooves on irons and wedges? I think mine need a doing over. Don't seem to be holding greens well on well struck wedge shots. LMK if you can and how much. Thanks.

I'm picking up a couple of sets of Hogan irons in Ottawa this afternoon and would like to have the lies bent to match my 1972 Hogan Apexes. Is there anyone who could do this for me? Of course I would be happy to part with some dough for the work :-)

Was wondering if there was anyone here who could do a re-groove job on a wedge? LMK, thanks.

Just wondering if anyone has ever bent a set of irons OPEN? I figure everything else (lie/loft) would also have to be tweeked as a result. But I'd like to hear how it went if you have any experience. Thanks.

I am thinking that all of the putters I have picked up over the past (*#$ yrs) are ALL too long. Can I have them cut down a tad, or will that screw up something (balance)? I had someone look at my stroke choked down and they said, and I felt and saw, a big difference in my swing path (more on...

I'm sure this topic has been discussed before but I'm hoping for some expertise I've got a set of hybrids with what I believe are .370 diameter tips (what the research has told me on the clubs)....Ideally I would like to have the same shafts I have in my irons installed in my hybrids, even...

I have two sets of irons but can't decide which ones to game. Can someone tell me a bit about each shaft (in plain english)? The other set will just go into my backup set of irons. FST 115 (with vibration control) stiff vs. Rifle 5.5

355 taper tip keeps coming up. Does anybody know if that's correct? & does that mean i'm SOL for 370 shafts? Also, what's the difference between taper & parallel? Thx for any info provided.:thumbsup

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.

Just noticed that Champ sports has released golf grips. http://www.champspikes.com/products/golf/accessories/champ-grips/

Hi, I have a ping cadence putter and I love it. I just need to adjust the lie a little bit. Where I CAN go ? How much ? Thanks

I know ping has a specific "dot" lie system that they use. I was wondering if there would be any problems encountered if you were to have to lie angle altered?

Here is a picture of the new Club Connex Faz Fit system. http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7795/fazfitconnectorof2.jpg He is expecting inventory to arrive early March! I am told by Club Designers that this new system will have minimal effect on playabilty of the head.

I have a mallet putter that I like, but not the feel of the insert. Is there a way to replace the insert? Or to change the feel of the present insert. thx

This may be a dumb question...is it possible to adjust the bounce angle on a wedge? Because I have a 54 degree wedge with 14* of bounce, and I want to lower the bounce to about 10*. I also want to change my 60 degree wedge from 4* bounce to 7 or 8* of bounce. I just find that the 54 degree wedge...

Bought a used set a couple of weeks ago and my misses are fat and to the left. Lie angle seems to upright. Thinking of taking them to Golfworx. Read that 3 to 5 iron should be standard. 6 to 9 should be 1/2 flat, W and G should be 1 degree flat and SW should be a degree and 1/2 flat. Any...

I have a 46 deg pw, matched with my irons. I have currently a 56deg sw hogan riviera, and a 60 lw. I don't have room due to 14 club rule, for a gw. Could I have my sw bent to 53 or 54 to help reduce gaps? Would I still have the same bounce. I posted here for experienced advice, although I am...

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

Just wondering if one can easily convert a putter's length without effecting performance? I find most 35 inch putters too long. I like to see or try one at 34 inches...or maybe shorter at 33 inches. If I buy a 35 inch putter, I would like a local clubmaker to convert it to 33-34 inches without...

Hi; Last year I got a great deal on some used Callaway X14 pro irons. The only problem is that they came with the Rifle 5.5 shafts, and I am more of a regular flex player. (5 iron 160 yards) Now my game doesnt seem to suffer, but if I can get another 10 yards out of that 5 iron, I would be...

Would anyone know if I can have the bounce of my wedges ground from let's say 12 to 6 degrees? Does anyone know where I could get this done? Thanks Patrick

Took TM 425 TP 10.5* (draw mode) with TP RE-AX shaft in X-flex and hit ball lower and straighter. Hit a Callaway X-Tour 10.5* with Fuji Tour Platform 26.3 and hit ball straight with more penetrating flight. Anyone know of shafts with similar characteristics to the TP RE-AX X-flex or Fuji...

Hi: I am looking at maybe buying a very cheap set of graphite clubs which have the option of either regular or stiff. Since I have seen different postings indicating that not all shafts are stiff or regular as indicated and since I currently have regular steel shafts, I was thinking of...

Just reading my copy of Ralph Maltby's Golf Club Design, Fitting, Alteration & Repair. In those days (1974), a set from 3-iron to SW would include lofts of 24 to 56 degrees, in 4 degree increments. The 3-iron had a lie of 58 degrees, each iron thereafter was 1 degree more upright, and 1/2 inch...

I'm having a difficult time getting the shine back on the ferrule. I'm using the cloth belt sander and finding that it just leaves the ferrule really roughed up. I've been using 120 grit fine sanding paper to smooth things out. When I apply the acetone, I'm left with a very matte finish. Anyone...

Apart from soaking in soap and warm water then using elbow grease, is there anyone out there with any ideas how to bring the finish back to old irons (ping 2´s for example) by soaking in anything, likle coke, soda crystals etc. I have always used water, soap, thinners and wire wool, but it is a...

Hi Folks, Just wondering who everyone uses for Club Assembly/Repair/Reshafting/Regripping, etc in the Kanata/Ottawa area? Generally what would one expect to pay to have a shaft extracted, and another shaft installed in the area? Thanks in advance!
