Forum: Club Making & Components

So I've "changed" (removed and reinstalled) the shaft in one of my drivers twice now and each time it has only lasted for 4 drives. I can't figure out what I might be doing wrong. Help please. Here's my steps: 1. remove old shaft (heat ferrule, remove. heat hosel, use club puller to remove)....

I have a ping isi iron that has come loose from the shaft. Can anyone help me to replace it this week? I live in Munster and work in Vanier so I can drop it off anytime any place along that route. Thanks Andy

I have some Adams Idea Pro hybrids (20* and 23*) that have Aldila VS Proto By You 80-S shafts. Thinking of swapping in some True Temper Black Gold X flex steel (soft-stepped) instead.

Hello club gurus. My friend was recently fitted and the recommendation for shafts was a steel shaft at 305 CPM with a 3" clamp.. With a bit of research online these look like they are going to be rebars!! Any help in terms of actual flex would be great, they will be at 1.5 inches overlength.

Do you think that there are pros that plays Winn grips? Maybe Long John? Seems like they're all playing Golf Pride or Lamkins. Winn grips are comfy but don't last last.

What is the raw length of the shaft to play 45" in a TM Superfast TP? Also, I'm putting an Accra SE 70* at 74 grams, what will the swing weight after install? Thanks

I removed the shaft stickers from my new iron shafts as I didn't like the way they looked at address and spent the next 15-20 minutes scraping/rubbing the sticky gunk off of one shaft. Anyone have any tips/tricks for easy removal of the stuff? I tried steel wool and used some acetone. All the...

Looking to get a 3 wood clubhead of mine refinished...either in black or if available, white. Anybody know of a local facility that can do this for me for a reasonable cost?

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 a Grafalloy Epic 68X pull from my 3-wood which I bought used. I'm not sure if the shaft was tipped because it didn't feel like an X when I was using the 3-wood. Now I'm thinking of using the shaft for a driver and just putting in a butt extension to get to length. Does anyone know the uncut...

I will be in the Miami area for a week and was planning to get a club fitting done at Doral/Jim McLean golf school and was wondering if anyone on the board has done that there? It is more pricy there but I'm sure they have access to every club on the market and the experience. Thanks

I am fortunate to live only 4 minutes from the shop of Rey Erickson, one of Canada's most acclaimed clubmakers. Rey just got back from a stint on the PGA tour in the states. We were able to get together today, and finalize the specs on my irons for the 2011 season. I am really pumped up, and...

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...

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.
