Adams Insight XTD Pro 10.5° just waiting to be shafted! SWEEEEEEET!!! Look out 300 yards, here I come again! :-)

I have a set of irons pruchsed from geoff and its amazing how much these wedges spin the balls. I hit shots into the green with them its it just sticks and even comes back sometimes. He told me that the wedges had been sharpened... what does it mean and how is it done?

Just wondering if anyone had them ? What are your impressions of them - are they very forgiving ? I'm considering them for next yr .... Thanks.

I am looking at buying a driver head to experiment with. I am wondering how much it is to put a shaft into said head before I buy it. I suppose a grip would have to be installed as well. I don't need an exact price but a ball park figure would be nice. Thanks for the help.

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.

My fellow forum members,I come to you today in time of need(oH,sorry'wrong speach) I have been trying a 15 deg.Nakashima driver with a reg.Taylor Made shaft in it.As you guessed the ball is going very high and not so long.My question to you is; what shaft can i put in this to lower the flight and...

I currently have a R9 TM driver but the shaft is reg and I require a stiff shaft. I am just trying to find out options on buying a shaft for it and also if anyone knows how I would go about getting it installed etc... I checked golf town but they wont touch it since it voids the warranty on it.

Anyone knows of a place that offer these services in this region or in Montreal/Toronto? I called Hydrauli-chrome inc. in Ottawa and they can't do it and don't know of any other places that can do it. I received a quote from the iron factory (USA) but would like to see if there are other cheaper...

.370 shaft into .355 hosel?....just like it says...is it possible or even practical to do this? I have a .370 hybrid shaft that i want to install into my 585h head which is apparently a .335 hosel. I understand that going smaller into bigger is easy, but going the other way? Any experiences...

I have a stock Tour Burner TP driver that I believe plays at 45.5-46". I've had some control problems with this over the past year and I seem to have much better accuracy choking up an inch on the handle. I need a new grip installed on the club anyways, so I'm debating shortening the shaft at the...

I plan on reshafting my irons but I was wondering if any of you had some experience with those 2 shafts. I'm looking for a low to medium trajectory.

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...

Hi all Call me sacreligious, but I am considering reshafting a set of copper Ping Eye 2's with something modern and graphite. I have tried removing the head off the 7 iron but it is being very possessive. Perhaps the golf gods are warning me to leave well enough alone, but if anyone has...

Need some advice or other opinions.I have a tendency to sweat in my palms when its warm.I had all new golf pride grips done this year,not top of the line grips mind you.I notice I may slip at times and this affects my drive or fairway shots.Anyone else had this problem,thanks for any info

Hi there I have been contemplating getting fitted but have been delaying due to $$. My golf budget is limited and I have a preconceived notion that it will cost me an arm and a leg. anyone have the same predicament? what did you end up doing? The reason for the fitting is that I am...

Question for you experienced club makers: I'm looking to have my .350 sized hosel driver reshafted with a .335 shaft. This particular shaft only comes in .335. I know that you can use an adapter shim. My question is, in your experience, how reliable are these adapters? I've heard that I should...

Hi, I was just wondering if you folks had a recommendation for a good place in Ottawa to get a swing analysis done to see what shaft I need for my driver? I bought a SMT Spectrum and the shaft that came with it, a Regular flex Royal precision Saber graphite, is just not cutting it ...(The last...

For those of you who might be interested in building one the NF4 plans are scheduled to be released April 12th. Once I get the final details I will keep you posted. Here is what it does. COLOR=Blue]1) shaft matching 2) shaft profiling 3) spine finding by differential deflection 4) spine...

Has anyone tried the project X or Accra steel shafts? I'm currently playing with DGS300? Any feedback?

A question for the club builders out there. I borrowed a friends hybrid club last fall and liked it and decided to get one for this season. I am thinking of having one built using the same shaft as my irons (Grafalloy Attacklite). Is this a good idea or should I be looking at shafts made specially...

I ordered what was supposed to be a brand new mizuno mx-500 driver on ebay and I got it and it had been hit a little and there were paint chips on the crown of the club. I was furious and contacted the company, they agreed to give me half my money back and I would get the paint chips fixed. But, I...

I had a set of Titliest 680 blades re-shafted before I got into club-making. After the install, which was done at a local shop with a good reputation, the heads kept flying off. This happend to the 5 iron twice and several other clubs. I was told by the shop that sometimes this happens and...

I want to get a shaft that was pulled from a standard bore and have it installed in a full bore Titleist head. Here is the info on the shaft: Accra T70 M4 3 wood length, plays to 42.5" in a TM smoothie-no grip. Tipped normal 1" for 3 wood--no extra tipping. Can I install this in a 5 wood...

My old driver (adams rpm 10*) has a bit of a problem. There is a noise coming from the shaft. As if there is something lose inside it that rattles if you turn the driver upside down and back again. I'm going tot ake it to golftown to have a look but anyone have any idea what it might be? Its a...

I am interested in purchasing a lie/loft bending machine as there is not a single person who does this in my area. I have looked at the ones at golfsmith and golfworks, but I just cannot find anywhere that lets me know which is the better deal or superior machine. Any help is much...

Anyone know what the standard length of a hybid is? Would a 19* hybrid be the same as a 3 iron?

hi, friend of mine would like to fit me with an assassin shaft in my driver. says its the best hes hit...he is a long driver champ. i have a slight in-out swing, 114mph speed through the ball and misses are push's. any thoughts or recommendations? thanks

I'm about to reshaft my driver. Getting it pulled at Golfworks, then putting in new shaft tomorrow late afternoon. How soon after can I start using it? Will overnight be enough? Longer? Also, when putting the new shaft in, is 'spinning' important? I assume I can't figure that out on my own, so...

Just acquired a Titleist 980F 17* fairway wood with the Grafalloy ProLite shaft from a friend to compliment my 905R driver. I was hoping to replace the shaft with a Dynamic Gold S300, but a local clubmaker said he wouldn't recommend the change. I have always had steel shafts in my fairway woods and...

Wondering if anyone has had any iron reshaft work done at golfworks on industrial. Interested in any comments you may have, thanks.

This may be one of the prettiest component heads ever. Aside from the obvious references to the TM RACs and the Ping S58s, this is a very nice effort by Golfsmith. :thumbsup:thumbsup

Anyone have some new DG X100 shaft bands hanging around that they want to part with?

10 grams added to the head equals a 5 cpm variation in frequency i.e 1/2 half a flex. +- 1/4 hosel depth= 2cpm +- 2 grams head weight=1 cpm

What's the best place in the Ottawa area for a club fitting?

I have a new Scotty Futura Phantom putter (35") that I would like to turn into a belly putter. Is is as simple as adding an extension and a new grip or does it have to be reshafted? I'm looking for this to play in the 38"-40" range. Thoughts? Anyone able to do this for me?

I love the Graffalloy Blue, its gives me a nice low flight and low spin that I need with my swing. However I thought with all of the new technology advancements, there must be a shaft out there that gives me the low flight of the Blue, with the added benefits on technology.

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....

So I've been installing grips using an air compressor for a few years now and I have never had a problem. I just changed my grips and the upper protion of the grip is twisting. The grip is .580 and the shafts are .600, so in theory in should be a tight fit. Any one who installs grips with air...

I am looking at 2 sets of Ping i5's, one with regular graphite shafts and the other with regular steel shafts. What are the pros and cons of going with graphite vs steel (or visa a versa)? thanks

Has anyone tried these? There seems to be quite the hype around them but I haven't actually had my hands on them yet. Can they only be ordered through the Iomic website? I'd like to know a bit more about the feel and performance of them before shell out the cash for them.

OK here we go----remember I'm Scottish. GT and Golfworks---14 sticks @13.50 ea plus taxes :hissyfit: I don't think so :-) (GolfPride) Just been checking around on how to do this myself at home------looks like a piece of cake---really :) I have everything without even buying a thing except...

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...

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...

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.
