Forum: Club Making & Components

what can people tell me about these shafts? I have looked for reviews online but since not to many people play them i can't find to many reviews. There is a set in the classified i was looking at but never heard a peep about them. I read claims (independent tests) that their 6i at the same speed...

Hey guys. I'm going to be reshafting my three rac black TP Wedges and my 3-PW set of Taylormade Rac TP MB in the upcoming months with Black Gold shafts. Normally when i get clubs reshafted i end up losing the stock tm ferrules which have the nice gold rings on them. I'd like my clubs to have these...

Everyone always says tapered iron shafts are no good because you can't freq' match them. Why is that? Is it because the parallel section is too short? Lack of parallel section? I know the PS on parallel shafts is longer and allows the opportunity to match shafts. But I can't believe...

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

I have an old Spalding TPM Tour Series 16 putter that I'm interesting in restoring to something a little closer to its original glory. It's of little value (to anyone other than me) so I can afford to take some chances. From what I can tell, it's stainless steel with a black finish. It's been...

Hi, I have the 4DX Evolver driver with 2 interchangeable shafts. These shafts come with the hosel adapter epoxied to the shaft. I have a CYG hosel that I wish to install on one of my current 4DX shafts. I was wondering if there is any way to remove the current adapter to not damage it other than...

Hey guys. I was wondering if someone could help me out with the diametre of the Ping G10 Fairway. I'm fairly certain it's .350, but I need to make sure. Thanks in advance.:)

Hi, I'm planning to build a new set of clubs for my father in the near future. He's in his late 50s and he normally hits low-ish hooks when he makes good contact. I've already bought him lessons and he's improving but, as the saying goes, it's difficult to teach an old dog new tricks. So, I...

Does anyone now of a decent driver head component that has the following characteristics: 1. Closed face - say, at least 4 degrees or so 2. Offsett face 3. Loft - no more than 11 degrees Thanks... PS The GolfSmith Special Force head seems to fit this profile except the head in this...

I was wondering if some of you could probably help me out on this ,, it seems obvious , but i want to know how much of a difference getting FITTED clubs for your swing does , then simply using a set of irons off the rack from the store. Cause i'm into my 5th year now and i love this game like...

A few people I have golfed with have suggested that I might to need the lofts/lies of my irons adjusted, given my high ballflight. I know that the procedure basically involves hitting off a lie board, and then having clubs bent if need be. What I'm wondering is...where can I do this that it won't...

So I have ; - "midsize" Lamkin Crossline Cord grips on my MP-67's. - A "midsize" DD2 on my Cobra Speed Pro driver. - A Golf Pride Tour Velvet on my Callaway X-Tour wedge. - Golf Pride Tour Velvets on my Vokey SM's.

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?

Do I need to worry about damaging the shaft when removing the old grip? If so what precautions should I take? I normally use just a utility knife to score the old grip, rip it off and then the special tool from Golfworks that takes off the old tape. Thanks in advance. Garth

With the GT grip sale coming up, I'm wondering what grips people are running. I typically use the old GP Tour velvet, but have the multi-compounds currently on my irons.

I am sure now that my lie angles on my Pings are a little off. The set needs to be adjusted 1* upright to blue dot specs. Where is the best, quickest, and reasonably priced place to get this done.:listen:

Is this possible? I remember looking at the phantom mallet last year and but I wanted it in belly so I tried to order it but they didn't make it. They tried to get one custom made but scotty wanted $5,000 for it. Needless to say I didn't go for it. Is it possible to take a putter, get a 10"...

Hello all. Just curious to know if cutting an inch off of a driver would negatively effect the playability of the club?

Ok, so here is my story: I have a Cobra L4V that I am keeping around as a back up driver, and currently using while I make a trade. The first round this year, I somehow managed to trip over a tee box while waiting to tee off, and caught the top of the club at the face with one of my champ...

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

Hey guys. I got a new titleist 909 D2 9.5*with titleist stock ys-6 stiff about a year ago, and i have never been able to hit it. I believe that the problem is the shaft, but i dont know which shaft is right for me. with the driver, i hit a low ball flight usually with an ugly hook. i would like to...

Anyone know where I could pick one of these up? Although I am a little skeptical because I have heard that the regular flex driver shafts are used by long drivers and tour professionals...meaning they play very stiff. Anyways, if anyone has any experience or knowledge of these shafts please...

Just wondering how long the whole process takes. I have a fitting @ The Hunt Club on Friday. How long does the session take, and how long will it take to get my clubs back? Hopefully it improves the game..!:-)

I have a Ping Anser 2 Putter (says patent pending on back of head), older putter but I like it. I bought it used and it was all original, even the grip! I have since cut down the shaft length to about 32" ( like em short, more control) and regripped it, but, of course, I changed the swingweight. I...

Seriously thinking about trying this out. All I need to learn is 3 swings and 3 different ball positions instead of 13 different swings and 13 different ball positions(that is if you do not play every club at the same ball position) I can also only bring 3 clubs to the range:scratchch Also thinking...

I bought a couple of pulled shafts, and they have the label re: SST Pure. Question is when I install them to in this case fairway woods, how do I know how to align the shaft with the head. Does not appear to be any outward looking mark to show me, only thing I could assume is lining up with the...

I finally managed to trade my Tri-ball SRT for a Scotty Cameron - problem is it has the stock 35" shaft. I'd like to get it trimmed down to 33" but I'm not sure what if anything that will do to the playing characteristics of the putter. What say you all knowing club guru types :) Thanks...

Anybody know if the shaft from a Titleist 905T will fit in my Cobra 350SS? I think the Titleist are thru bores but I'm not sure of the Cobra. How will this effect the length of the installed shaft and lenght that I should be buying. Thanks Denny

A question for the other clubmakers out there. How many of you have seen shafts bent just above the hosel through regular use? I have been stinking it up with my irons this year, so I pulled them apart to add some weight to see if it would help and when I was putting them back together as I was...

I'd love to hear from all the club builders here freq matching? pured shafts? swing weight matching? MOI matching? how much of a difference does this stuff really make? maybe someone can dumb down exactly what each of these are (for indio) and how they would make a difference

my clubhead speed is 90 to 97, depends on how good my swing on that day. I have a small smooth tempo. for sure I know I need a regular shaft for my driver and 3 wood. I have 65 R shaft for my driver now. Sometimes I felt they are too light for me. Should I go for a heavier regular shaft? if so,...

who is it?

Well lately I've been putting amazingy and my friends suddenly seem to have a problem with my belly putter. I know its not illegal YET and I could tell them to go to hell but then I would have no one to play with other than you lovely people on the forum (not a bad thing). Anyway, if I were to...

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?

Hi all, I have used several SMT drivers in the past. I was just wondering if there was a Canadian distributor for the above driver. I believe that it is a partnership between SMT and Diamond Golf. Anyway, if anyone has any information on whether this is available in Canada (without duty...

Anybody have any recommendations for the purchase of a loft/lie bending machine i.e make, model, amount I might expect to pay (if allowed to post on this forum)? Being a garage hobbyist, I'm reluctant to spend the big bucks, but..... I've always been a believer in you get what you pay for. So,...

I purchased a used Cleveland 588 RTG wedge that was nicely rusted. Now after playing a few rounds, the rusted face is giving way to shiny metal. How do I get it to stay rusty? Soak it in water?

I had an interesting finding tonight while re-shafting my 3 wood. I thought I would share it. It is only a single finding, so don't base conclusions on it, but I found it interesting. I had a Fujikura Tour Platform 27.3 shaft that I got off ebay that I had plans to install in my 3 wood. Although...

Irons not recommended for loft and lie adjustment http://golfworks.com/images/art/Iron%20Models%20Not%20Rec.pdf

So I got my wedges bent a few months ago and they're too upright. I always liked my wedges to match my set as far as lie angles but they don't set up nicely. I work all my wedges off a 36.5" pitching wedge. As I get to my higher lofted wedges it seems that they begin to get more upright in relation...

What is the correct way to fit a person for a putter's lie angle? How much of a difference does a degree or two of lie angle make in a putter? My understanding is that if your putter is too upright (i.e. toe up at address), you may tend to pull your putts left (for a right handed golfer).

I've heard all sorts of rumors that you should never lengthen your clubs b/c it changes the head technology and the manufacturers build their clubs to work at that length. I currently hit Taylormade RAC OS2 and I have an inch and 1/4 added to every club as I'm 6'4" and standard length feels a...

I was told go to from a 60g to a 70g shaft but seem to be doing ok with my 60g shaft. What should I expect if I switch to 70g??? what are the ups and downs with making this move and why? Thanks

thinking about doing a little bending job on my rac wedges. this can be done on these wedges right? and does anybody know if golf town does this, and what they charge per club/degree etc.. ? (junior) thanks alot.
