Forum: Club Making & Components

Mods go easy if I am in the wrong place as I don’t post often. I am looking for a whole new set of sticks including putter and I would like to obviously get professionally fit given the investment. That said, over the course of my last two fittings in the Ottawa area, one from a certified...

Hi, I am in the process to buy a new driver and I am interested by a club maker who makes my new driver ? How much for a new driver custom and where is the best place ? If the club maker speak french, it's a big + for me. THX

I have a club head is a demo from the "select-fit" series and requires a special adapter and shaft from that series. Does anyone know where I can obtain one?

I'm in search of precise measurements for 255 (5 iron) gram frequency weight for a frequency analyzer I built. I've found info on the 205 gram weight (woods) and have a successful build on that, and am waiting for the 1.75" steel rod to build the 454 gram (profiling weight). thanks in...

Just wondering if its a good idea to cut the length of your clubs to suite your height and swing? Is this a common thing to do or should I adjust to my clubs? Where in the city would you get analyzed for something like this?

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...

Put a hybrid shaft in a Taylormade UDI 3 iron. Suggestions?

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...

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...

Just had my grips done by downhillslider ( Les ). Great job and even took time to measure the lofts of my clubs and weight very impressed. Thanks again Les

So I am looking for advice... I am right on the edge of R and S flex shafts for my driver. Each guy at Golf Town gives me a different suggestion, so I am wondering if anybody can suggest a good shaft that in a regular flex would play a little stiffer. Maybe I am looking for the wrong thing,...

I just had a few clubs re gripped and noticed the 'Golf Pride' might be a little off. With my wedges, at address, my lower hand/thumb is lined up with 'Pride' lettering - with my newly re gripped clubs, they are not - the lettering is off to the Right, enough that it's noticeable and potentially...

I have a set of taylormade supersteel burners with R80 shafts and i need to know everything there is to know about the R80 shafts, i know the R is for reg flex, but whats the 80 for? is it the weight in grams or the specified swing speed of 80 mph, or is it the frequency number? also, ive done...

Looking to buy a 4-PW OR 5-GW set of Ping shafts (stiff) preferably pulls. Prep area can not have ferrules - Shafts don't need to be Ping.

Thinking about getting myself a new set of Titleist 716 CB/MBs and was looking to see what people suggest is the best option for getting fit for the right shaft. I'm currently playing KBS Tour V's in my Apex MBs and I'm not all that thrilled with them. I'm mainly just looking to see what...

Does Golftown fix Sun Mountain golf carts?

golf works no longer has a clamp to do this. Golf town never did. Is there anywhere in the city to get this done? Thanks

Does anyone know where I can get a .335 adapter sleeve for my R9? I'd need it shipped to Halifax. Plenty of them on ebay but I'm a little concerned about the quality of the overseas models. Thanks.

Been toying with the idea of making a set of single length irons for some time now. Anyone have suggestions on where to pick up heads, and if one head is better than another? May not be the answer but I keep thinking it makes too much sense not to at least try it. Hell, cant make my game much worse...

Can an offset head on a 3 wood w graphite shaft be adjusted to neutral?

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...

Not sure how many are aware of this, but GT has a new company wide policy to no longer save grips. Apparently a tech stabbed himself with a needle, hence the new policy. Just giving everyone a heads up who goes in expecting to be able to keep their grip.

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...

My wife got my irons re gripped with the same style as I had before but I am not really a fan of the grips... Is there an easy way to save the grips? They are the Lamkin iLine grips.

Ok so I am going to take advantage of the shaft & grip sale at GT. I have an old set of Eye 2's that I want to re-shaft with dynamic golds. Any issues I need to be aware of when pulling the old shafts? According to Golfsmith, the new shafts only need to be butt trimmed, can I assume...

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?

Wishon Golf Explains the Difference in Bending Woods vs. Irons http://wishongolf.com/wishon-golf-explains-the-difference-in-bending-woods-vs-irons/

I'm looking to save a superstroke grip I have on one of my putters...it was installed via the 'traditional method' of double sided tape and solvent. Anybody been successful at removing? and if so, with what technique? Thanks!

Any input is appreciated... I have hit both shafts in the new Mizuno 850 Forged. I use regular flex shafts. I have a good smooth tempo. Driver swing speed is high 90s. On the GT sims the Nippon seems to hit it higher but the distance for the 2 shafts is very similar. I never trust...

I am looking to put a Ping after market adapter (CMX adapter) onto a very nice and clean shaft that was pulled from another driver head. It has a good 1.5" of cleaned, prepped shaft tip, but it seems like the CMX adapter only has a depth of 1.25"... So my question is, would I be better...

So ive been looking at irons, and have come across a couple of sets of heads that I really like the look of. I'm wondering what one can expect to spend in order to reshaft (with grips). I know there are all kinds of options out there, but if anyone could give me a ballpark figure if what a set of...

how can you tell the difference between a right handed and left handed adapters. Thanks Dave

Other than Golfworks, is there other components distributors in Ottawa? I am looking to pick up a Diamana W+ series shaft, but Golfworks doesn't have them and Golftown (at least in Kanata) doesn't seem to carry that kind of stuff anymore. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone play these grips in our climate? It's obviously more humid than some other places. I'm just wondering how well these perform. I really like the feel of them as far as softness goes, but I'm unsure if I'd have a spinning club in my hand in the heat?

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

Hi everyone, here is my situation: I bought a new set of mizuno irons in novembre at GT. Now I tried them out on the screen and decided to go with the classic S300. The feeling was just too smooth with the S300. Distance wise, I wasn't giving up anything. Now that the season is on it's way I...
