Forum: Club Making & Components

Does anybody know if they make sensicore(cork) inserts for shafts? If so where do you get them, I looked at golfworks and didn't see them. Thanks Denny

Anyone know if you can buy local or order in Canada a Re-Grip Air Tool? I mean the kind you use with air compressor to re-grip clubs with air.

I'm replacing my Cleveland wedge shaft and can't seem to find a ferrule to match. Anybody out there know where I could get ferrules that match the ones put in by Cleveland originally?

Anyone tried the Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G grips? I just bought a set for my KZG irons and all the online feedback and reviews talk about how bad they are in the rain. I may exchange them for something else like the new GP VDR grip.

I am a high handicap golfer (19) and think that it may be time to look at my equipment to ensure that they're the right length, type, loft etc. I've gone for lessons several times and am definitely noticing decent improvement in my game, but I have never gotten my clubs fitted to me. I know that...

Hi, Looking to re-shaft a driver for a friend. He needs a driver shaft around 42 inches long and he has about a 90mph clubhead speed. Looking to get him in a regular shaft but not sure if i get a regular shaft cut down will it become stiff? Should I look into getting a senior shaft cut down so...

I spent some time at GT yesterday trying big sticks. I'm in a rebuild since my two sons are starting lessons later this week - hence, quality time with the kids and the wife can't blast me for golfing anymore - insert fist-pump smiley here ;-) My 3 or 4 year hiatus has definitely impacted my...

Hi Guys I have a driver head that I would like to shaft. Now I am not a Shaft Master like a lot of you guys are. To be honest I have never really played around with different shafts in drivers. I basically go with the stock shafts. My current driver has a Grafalloy Pro Lite Elite, Regular flex....

I built a spine finder over the holidays (like a NF2 but cheaper) and sure enough it does a good job of profiling a shaft (steel at least). However, when I attempt to FLO analyze the shafts, things are not so clear cut. I built a cheapo rig where I clamp the butt end and put a ~200g rig on the tip...

Before tinkering and purchasing a new shaft take a look at the shaft replacement guide; OEM REPLACEMENT

Can an offset head on a 3 wood w graphite shaft be adjusted to neutral?

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...

So far I have two kinds of tape that I've unsuccessfullly tried to regrip with. Both materials have not dried/firmed up in 24 hours. The grip could be twisted in my hands and when I removed the grip it was like moist bubblegum. It seems like I'm using the wrong tape or chemical, though I've...

Maybe some of you shaft guru's can help me..... Just picked up a Cleveland Launcher with stock gold stiff shaft. What are the specs for this shaft? Its a little early but I think I'm hitting it quite high. Its a 10.5* head. I am thinking I should try a lower trajectory shaft. My 975J has a...

Not sure how many are aware of this, but GT has a new company wide policy to no longer save grips. Apparently a tech stabbed himself with a needle, hence the new policy. Just giving everyone a heads up who goes in expecting to be able to keep their grip.

Thanks to BC MIST for teaching me this term. My free opinion is that OCD's such as Zevo, Golfsmith, Golfworks, Raven, etc., when matched to the right shaft, and assembled by a professional to my personal specs, will be a better set than anything I can buy off the rack, for $hundreds less. I...

I need to install a shim in my TM burner hybrid as it is a .370 and the shaft I want to put in is .335. I already bought the shim at golfwork but now need help installing it. Do I just push it inside the hosel with the apoxy and then put more apoxy inside the shim and then just put the shaft in it...

I would like to get some opinion / advice on a dilemma. I've been building my clubs for a couple of years. I know I risk to be crucified by some, I've only been measuring and trimming following chart and then spining my shaft, but I never measured swingweights pr checked my lies and lofts. So, all...

It has become a popular notion of late that the MOI (moment of inertia), of a golf club is the determining factor when an individual chooses a particular iron from his entire set of clubs as his favorite. The promulgated theory is that the feel of this particular iron (MOI), during the swing is of...

Hey folks, I bought a set of Wilson Ci7 irons. They are great clubs, but the shafts feels weird. I got used to the smotth feeling of the KBS tours and something bugs me in the stock TX-105. I pulled the head of my 4 iron to try it with the KBS shafts, but big problem : I then realised that...

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get a cheap used or new bender? I would like to play around with one with my clubs. I don’t plan to make money with it. Just something to adjust my clubs. Any idea anyone? Thanks Mike

Hi folks Not sure this is the right section so if not just move me. I have a Wilson Staff RM sand wedge that has a graphite Fat Shaft on it. I hate the shaft but love the wedge so I want to get it set up with a new shaft. Is it possible to replace this? Looks like it should be possible but...

I’m just not hitting the ball as far as I used to ...can you help?” This is probably the single most often asked question by golfers looking for a new shaft. For years, the answer was relatively easy: put the golfer into an ultra-light shaft and they would pick up some of the yards that time...

Here is a head Chieflongtee gave me which had a broken shaft. Club was found in a ditch,rusted and paint peeling. I took it opon myself to restore it to a new luster!

Where can I get one? I looked on GolfSmith and GolfWorks and neither of them carry Ozik. Thanks

How many of you know the face radius roll on your woods mainly your driver?

Not sure this can be done but is there a tool that can shave the tip uniformly from a .350 to a .335 and if so will it affect the properties of the shaft? :book Luc

Any recommendations on a good place to get fitted for clubs? Not looking for an insane set or anything but I also don't want to head into SportChek and get looked at by an 18-year old sales person who just got transferred over from the Hockey section because Winter is now over. I'd like to head...

Has anyone received a 2008 Golfworks catalog yet? Unless mine magically went into the recycle box without my knowledge I don't think mine has arrived yet but I've received both Golfsmith and Wishon.

My wife picked up a Maltby swing weight scale for me today at the Great Glebe Garage Sale for $20. unbelievable!!! I immediately put it to work, what a beauty, now that;s a great wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Saw your post on the Neufinder forum about same length irons. I have always wanted to try a set of irons where all clubs are the same length, so I am going to make a set tomorrow. I have from 4 to PW of a Dynacraft Tour Caliber Forged set that I used several years ago All irons will be the...

I've read here that Sharpro make a cheap alternative to the Golf Pride Decade Mulitcompound grip. What's the verdict on these Sharpro's. Same feel and tackiness as the Golf Pride? Good durability? Anybody ever take a file to expose a new layer of rubber on the Sharpros? I thought I had also...

anyone know if the tip size is different between the R9 and R9 TP? They both use the sleeve but I am wondering if they use the same sleeve or a different one (.350 vs .335). thanks!

With the wealth of knowledge available on this forum could I please have a simple answer to this Question. I currently play a 52 dgr wedge with a DGS300 shaft will I notice a huge difference in "feel" adding to my bag a 56 dgr wedge using a DGS200 (same brand of club head) Feel free to expose my...

Could someone tell me why graphite shafts in irons are usually 0.5 inches longer than the steel shafts. Shouldn't they be the same length?

Hi everyone, here is my situation: I bought a new set of mizuno irons in novembre at GT. Now I tried them out on the screen and decided to go with the classic S300. The feeling was just too smooth with the S300. Distance wise, I wasn't giving up anything. Now that the season is on it's way I...

Any of you guys ever experiment with one? I have a hard time getting my hands comfortable on a regular paddle grip and was holding my father in laws clubs this weekend which are gripped with Winn Oversize grips and though they would feel great on a putter. Any thoughts?

In general should driver/woods shafts be a stiffer flex than the rest of the set because of length? ie if I use a regular flex in my irons would I be advised to hit a slightly stiffer flex with my woods? :confused j

Hey, I am looking at picking up a couple itomic grips to try on my Driver, 3 wood and hybrid this spring. I thought Id try them and see if I like them and then if so, replace my irons as well. I know I could just go to golfworks and have them do it, but assuming I wanted to try it, how...

I am trying to get myself into club making and my first project is to build a 21 degree "driver" for my 8 yr son and a lob wedge for my wife. I've found all the parts from Golfworks, and I have most of the tools to complete my project. The question is, can I use my regular epoxy, or should I...

I am looking at having someone refinish the faces of some irons. Is it possible to do this? How expensive would it be to have done if possible. I am looking at doing this for a set of Cobra Carbon CB Irons. Here is a pic of the 9 iron and PW.

I just called UST Mamiya customer service in Fort Worth, Texas and they were amazingly helpful. I have ordered new shafts for my driver and 3 wood and I called for tipping information and general information and they were really helpful and very informative. For the record they said OEM shafts are...

just picked up a set of golfsmith pro forged iron heads 2-pw with tour cavity forged 2-4 iron off ebay brand new (yes shocking) and need to get some shafts installed. i swing over 90mph with my irons so x-stiff flex will be needed, also im 6'4 and will need them to be over standard length. ...

This is the best article on this subject I have found so far. Leith Anderson is a partner in THE GOLF LAB, in Palo Alto, California. http://www.calgolftech.com/whats_new/driver35.html excerpt: "Since I’m discussing “standards” that don’t work for most players, if you haven’t checked your...

I know I've asked this before, but where is the best place to get fitted? I'm finally ready, I think.:-)

If I was to take a 40" shaft and add a 1" extension, would it play long enough for a 4/5 wd? I don't like adding more than 1" when an extension is needed, so if this is not possible it won't be a route I'll pursue.

I'm re-shafting a Cleveland 588 wedge and I have a few questions #1 is the shaft parallel or taper? I tried a parallel shaft but seems to be to tight... #2 Is the Dynamic Gold a good OEM replacement? #3 The current (OEM) shaft has a bronze tip (very small) does anyone...
