Forum: Club Making & Components

Looking for some opinions/advice here guys. I recently tried the new XRs by Callaway with the recoil shaft(f4)ithink they were 460 but can't say for sure, and really liked the feel and distance. Here lies my dilemma. I don't want to pay the kind of money GT wants for the set, so i thought that...

I was considering putting an oversized grip on my driver. Was wondering if anyone has done this? John Daly and Bubba Watson use oversized grips. Is there anywhere in Ottawa that you can test different grip sizes?

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...

Looking for recommendations for places that do shaft fitting for Drivers, Fairways & Hybrids. I don't want to change clubs, just looking for right shafts

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

I have a 2016 M2 Driver and was thinking of adding weight to it to increase distance and accuracy. I have a 90-95 mph swing with a slight slice. The head feels a little light. Will adding weight help? If so, do I use lead tape or change the club weight (now 4 gm) to a higher weight (6, 8,...

I was at Golfworks yesterday and the sales guy had a new Adams Speedline 9064LS driver at the cash that he bought off of ebay. I was surprised that he didn't buy Maltby clubs as he works at Golfworks and I assumed he would get a discount. He said got the Adams Speedline 9064LS driver head off of...

I have a Scotty Cameron Newport Detour 2.5 putter in a 34 inch shaft length. What would happen if I shorten it to 33 inches? Will it affect swing weight or feel or head weight? Does swing weight even matter for putters? I assume the head weight would feel heavier with a 1 inch trim of the shaft? It...

Can anyone tell me information about the shaft that came with my Adams Speedline Fast 10 driver; the Matrix HD 60g shaft mid-low launch shaft?? I know it is 60 grams and 46.125 inches long and in some reviews I have read it is supposed to be a mid-low launch shaft. Mid to Low launch is perfect...

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.

Grip Installing! So easy peasy. :lmfao Why didn't I ever do this before?? :rolleyes Tape and solvent rocks, it's easier than air compressor install in my opinion. All that $$$ I have spent on grip installs over the years. :wallbash :lmfao

I have been doing a lot research online about grip installing with air and grip installing with tape and solvent. I have come a cross a ton of threads on the Golfwrx forum. Some of the most intriguing ones are about using regular masking buildup tape then solvent, as in not using two-sided tape at...

Anyone ever use this shaft in their driver? UST Mamiya Proforce V2 Tour Flight Wood Shaft

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...

I am getting fed-up with OEM drivers. :irked: I am thinking of going with a Maltby driver next time I purchase, this way I can get the exact shaft I want and customize everything. If money was not a concern I would go see Don at Artisan Golf and get him to build me a KZG driver. But alas...

I called these guys yesterday and I may just get this finish on my Callaway Tour Blue TT3 putter. I am tired of the blue and gold colour of my putter. http://www.putterlounge.com/tuxedo The black polymer finish looks very cool and it's the only finish that will work on a titanium putter. I am...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDWHoaFum-I I started reading a lot about Spining and FLO Alignment online and I found this video. It seems to show instant results. This guy says to align the spine towards the target before starting the FLO process, as in the spine at the 9 o'clock position when at...

I am trying to PM you a club making question. Please clean out your Inbox. Thanks Break68

I hate Thru Bore irons and Uniflex shafts. Such a pain in the ass to get new shafts installed in them. Uniflex shafts are the bain of my existence; total crap. I am on my second set of these irons, X-16 and now X-22. My son has 2004 Big Berthas with thru bore as well. I have to send them to...

If you have been trying to get a hold of Robin Arthur at Xcaliber Shafts by phone or email the last 4 weeks to ask about about the shafts he makes, apparently the phone has been disconnected and he hasn't been answering emails. I just heard today that Robin has been battling some very serious...

I bought a shaft extractor and a heat gun last week. Today I pulled my first shaft, my driver shaft. It took a very long time to get head it off the shaft. I used the Golfworks intructions. Found here: http://www.golfworks.com/images/art/2008ReshaftGraphite.pdf STEP 3. While wearing...

I just bought a set of Rifle 6.0 iron shafts and I was wondering what you all think of them? I assume some of you have tried them over the years.

Anyone ever tried turning ferrules with a rotary tool?

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...

Has anyone ever tried the Avon chamois grips? And has anyone ever tried to install them with air? I love my Pure grips but I am thinking of trying these ones. http://www.golfworks.ca/product.asp_Q_pn_E_CHMS_A_cn_E_3

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...

Is it possible to soft step Rifle 6.0 FCM shafts? Is there any point in doing it? Trying it?

What cheap shaft could I put in a Sonartec SS07 4 wood head? I'm looking for either a steel or graphite shaft, regular flex, below 50$ that I could find at Golfworks or Golftown. I want medium boring ball flight. Let me know. Thanks

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...

I may be picking up a set of TM Rsi2 irons. They come with KBS 105 Tour in regular. I'm enjoying less and less swinging S300's, and according to the guy at GT, I'm borderline reg anyway: 85mph 7i ss Slow side of Moderate tempo, slow transition to downswing Lots of acceleration through the...

I wouldn't call myself handy, but how difficult is it to install shafts in irons? I have the shafts and have the iron heads (well they are in the mail). I do not need to extract any shafts. From what I can gather, I need to purchase the epoxy, centering beads, and the ferrules. I am thinking...
