Forum: Club Making & Components

I emailed Matrix support a question about tipping and I received a detailed response in 3 hours. That's what I call exceptional support! Regards, Dan :)

I Have tip weights in my irons to bring the swing weight back up after the Grinding that was done to them. Anyways I changed shafts and put them in the new shafts, but i had to remove the club head twice this year to reglue them in place, not sure why they keep coming loose

Wondering if anyone knows where I could find a black putter shaft for the above mentioned putter. It is a TeI3 long slant Del Mar. What tip size would I be looking for. I see some black iron shafts but can't seem to find putter shafts. Thanks so much.

Hey all. I am sending my putter in for a re-finish and would like to pull the shaft. I live in Val-des-monts QC between Edelveiss and le Sorcier. Anyone in that area able to do that for me? Thanks in advance.

I was recently fit at a Callaway Fitting Centre (At their corporate headquarters actually) and the guy said that I would be better off matching the shaft in my wedges with the shaft in my irons. I am just curious if this is true or is it one of those long standing arguments and it will depend on...

I am wondering if it's possible to put a smaller diameter shaft into a larger diameter head. I have no idea if the lingo is correct and I hope this makes sense...forgiveness please. :-) I would like to put a aftermarket shaft in a new driver that I have purchased however it seems as though the...

Does anyone know where I can find the diameter of this shaft? I have looked on the Callaway website and the Project-X website and I couldn't locate it. :book I might just be retard, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for assisting the dumber.

Planning on re-shafting one of my sets this winter looking at these as an option Has anybody here tried them? Feedback?

OK, so it's that time of year again and in order to keep the golf itch alive, I'm going to do what I do every year, think about tweaking the set in the off season. This year I tried a graphite shaft in a 4i head as an experiment and I was surprised at how well it worked. Overall I think it was a...

I just bought a forged blades, and asked a clubmaker to bend these blades to my spec. All irons left with a small and flat bend marks near numbers in the sole. Clubmaker said coz it's forged, they are very very soft, so that part is so easy to get bend mark, and can't be avoided even used...

South African David Frost finished tied for 3rd in the Champions Tour event this past weekend. I caught an interview with him after the 3rd round and he spoke about what he had done to prepare for the tournament. Frost, a Mizuno guy who has played blades his hole career, was not pinching his...

TRACKMAN´S TEN FUNDAMENTALS http://www.trackman.dk/download/newsletter/newsletter7.pdf

Hi Guys Can I get someone to install some grips this weekend on my son's irons and hybrids? And how much for install? I have the grips already. Chief, you available? Tempted to do it myself. Break68

I have a set of iron club heads which I want to put new shafts in. I was eying all expensive mainstream makes (i.e. KBS, Nippon, Project X, DG etc) vs the not so expensive not mainstream makes (i.e. FST, Apollo, etc). I know people prefer different shafts for different reasons, and I know I...

I'm looking to replace this shaft. I love it in reg flex but I need to change it out because of some damage on the shaft that I'm afraid will cause breakage. Does anyone know where I can buy this ping shaft in ottawa? If not I'll just put in a V2.

What kind of product can I pick up at Canadian Tire to use to install grips? I don't have time to go all the way down to GW to pick up some grip solvent. Thx

I must have about 75 new iron clubheads, mostly 5 and 6 iron heads that are now discontinued from various companies like Golfsmith, Golfworks, KZG, Wishon, etc. I hate the thought of just chucking them. Any ideas?? Thank you.

General accepted rule of clubfitting is too stiff= low and right, or just lower in general and shorter distances, correct?? Yesterday I demoed a set of irons w/ PX 6.5, which I assumed would be too stiff for me. Here is where it gets confusing: distances were shorter than normal, as I figured...

i notice my irons have the bottom line paint filled on the club face...is this suppose to help with alignment? I notice my wedges have no paint filled lines. Just curious...

Has anyone done any research on launch angles on various irons. There are numerous charts out there on woods. Just curious.

I am looking at the IOMIC Sticky Grips however I noticed they only come in standard size and I use Mid-size. Does any one know if building up the grip will lessen the softness of grip too much and reduce the quality of the grip?

hi fellas, just to let you know that over past winter and spring, André fitted and built me a complete set of forged M serie irons and wedges. http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp?pn=MA0099&bhcd2=1285417617 http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_MA0122_A_cn_E_667 the tough part is we...

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 took a Ping fitting and was told that I should play green dot (2.25 degrees upright) in my irons. Should I also get my wedges bent 2.25 degrees upright? It seems logical but I read that many players play "standard" lie in the their wedges even though they may play flat or upright irons. Opinions?

.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 currently have project x 6.0 shafts in my irons. I've always played better with reg shafts, my question is could i perhaps work the ball better with reg shafts because i can create more spin with them as they are not to stiff for me? i hope that makes sense and would appreciate the feedback.

Any one know who sells these shafts in Canada? I believe they are made for Hireko golf, Dynacraft. In particular I am looking for the Phantom model. Thanks.

so i'm reading up about club fitting for the mid-capper -me - average between 84-92 ....i was told by a guy at golf town that the standard clubs (length) are good enough..... has anyone gone thorugh this - and if so have you noticed your control increase?? i'm ok with not bombing every...

Golfsmith is closing in T.O.. When they became a public company and started to favor share holders, Golfsmith tried to cut down on expenses (staffing and customer service). First to go were the perks for being a member of the GCA. Then the Clubmaker Magazine and then less left-handed clubs. The...

Anybody ever had one done here? Thoughts, opinions, good or bad?

Twice i went to Golftown once trainyard and once kanata to get lie checked, both told me there perfect standard. Being 6"3 and always having a slight toey dibbet i finally decided to raise em 2 deg, what a difference, ive elliminated the left side of the course with misses with irons. Anyone that...

This is just a thought wanted to see what you guys think! I stand 6"6 and play my irons at a half inch over standard. I feel completely comfortable over my Driver/Hybrid/4/5/6/7/8 but once i'm down to 9-Wedges they just feel too short to me. I contemplated reshafting my 9-LW at the same length as...

Anyone know where to buy these? GT doesn't show as stocking them via the website, is there anywhere you guys know of locally? Thanks, Liam.

Does anyone know if I can find two-sided grip tape anywhere more convenient than GolfWorks? I've tried Canadian Tire and Home Depot without any luck.

Anybody ever do this? Thinking of painting my mallet putte white and doing the alignment line in black. I am figuring using metal spray paint and just taping the sight line. Is there a special way to do this or is it pretty straight forward

What would be the best shaft for a lower trajectorie ball flight? i have a swing speed over 110 and i hit the ball fairly high with too much spin! So i'm looking at something to lower the ball and take the spin off!

I need to get my clubs regripped before the Ryder Cup.......I have all the grips, I just need them installed. Any takers?

I was at Outaoius today and my friend decided he wanted to try out my driver. After two hits he told me something doesn't seem right. He then bent the shaft and noticed that my shaft is split right at the tip of the club. Thank god I can explain all my craptastic drives now!!! Anyways. It's...

If you have a 56* wedge bent to 58* what if anything does that do to the bounce of the club? Increase, decrease or nothing? Recommended people for this service?...also...is there anywhere in this area that offers loft adjustment and regrooving all in the one place? Thanks, Liam.

My 7i got a chip by hitting a little rock under the grass in the driving range today. are there any way I can make it disappear? Can I polish it?

As the title says, the Ferrule is black metal 2 1/4" long, and appears to have very fine threads, and can be tighted with a normal 1/4" wrench. The problem is it will not stay tight. I assume this was to quickly change shafts at one time. I think that the threads are worn, although you still have...
