Started this journey at 24.5 Handicap; currently a 12.7, seeking to be a better golfer. Seeking Birdies is a name that I think sums up the Channel. No one goes golfing and wants to get bogeys. Everyone wants Birdies. I’m Seeking Birdie Golf.
I do not claim to be a golf professional; nor do I claim to know everything. I started this channel to combine my hobbies of golf and photography/videography. I’m always looking to learn and grow in the game of golf. All comments and insight are greatly appreciated. I look forward to the journey!

Where’s that first post-quarantine round gonna be? I heard White Horse is opening today to beat the rush.
Tee time at Chambers Bay Tuesday Morning! So excited to get back out! You have anything planned?
Nothing as grand as Chambers. During the downtime I’ve been hitting the net pretty hard. When I want to put some pressure on myself I imagine I’m teeing off at Echo Falls #18 or Eagles Talon #17 (gotta love those water carries). If I can’t make those visions a reality then it’ll probably be something like Lynwood, Nile or Jackson with my birdie-seeking 10-year old.
@@SamBrown76 I have never played Chambers so I figured "Go Big!". I will definitely be visiting Lynnwood, Nile and Jackson many times in the near future. Those are my regulars! Enjoy and stay healthy.
Haven’t crossed Chambers off the list yet. Hit’em straight, Tyson.
Dude, seriously. This was one the BEST how to videos I have seen (I've watched alot, lol). Well done, you've gained a subscriber.
Hey Brent! Thank you! I appreciate the feedback and support!
Enjoyed the video. Hobby club builder of 10 years. You took extra care with those extensions. Take care..
This was a great video. Definitely have a new appreciation for the tools and effort required to extend a set! Thanks for making this.
Great video, thanks heaps for making it. Good stuff!
I've never considered adding club extensions, but very informative video!
Also, good luck with the gear!
Definitely not a standard practice but my buddy likes the feel of the longer irons. Thanks!
Thinking about doing this too! Great video. My brother is three inches shorter than me, and I'm going to be given his clubs. I'm on the fence of getting new shafts, new irons, or lengthening them. This video helped a lot.
Informative video, thanks I'm about to do this same project!
Good to know you can do this yourself! I need to extend mine by 2”! Only because they were already short to begin with
Great video. Great production quality
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Well done. Thanks for the vid
That's not a bad deal to extend and regrip!! I think I can do it. Thank u
Thanks for your video. I’ll be using the tape and rough up steps in addition the the rest I had already planned thatnks and keep sharing!
Your welcome! I'm glad it helped, Thanks for the support!
Doing this tomorrow. Thanks.
Very nice
Good Job Tyson!!! 👍🏻
Thanks, it was a fun little project!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to go over everything step-by-step. One question, because I've heard so many conflicting things about shaft extensions. How much of a difference does a 1/2" extension make on the way the club plays? Does it alter the swing weight, the overall weight of the club, or anything else? I'm pretty perceptive with my equipment and notice a lot of little things about my clubs that others may not. Would I notice the difference between a club that has been extended 1/2" versus one that was originally built that way? Thanks for your time.
Hey Dave, Thanks for the feedback! To answer your question about it changing the swing weight; Yes. Anytime you alter the length, shortening or extending, you are moving the balance point. Now every club is different, so adding a 1/2” can add maybe just a gram or two or maybe 5-8 grams. This would be corrected by adding some counterweights. From everything I have heard, read, and experienced; to the average golfer this would probably all go unnoticed. To someone that is a scratch golfer/low handicap it might be more noticeable. It is very negligible to the overall weight of the club and I know many golfers that added extensions without adding counterweight and have never complained about the change in feel beyond having the longer shaft. So in conclusion, it is case specific; but I think the benefits of playing the correct length out weigh the potential changes in swing weight at 1/2”; if you go longer like a full inch then yes, it will be noticeable. But you can always add a little weight to correct this. Thanks Dave, let me know if you have any other questions!
Sick gear bro!
Thanks! Rocking the Tour Wraps is never a bad idea...
What did you do about the swingweight, when you add 1" to your irons you add about 4 swingweight points (feels like adding 8 grams extra headweight). It's likely to have shifted from a possible D2 to a D6. You can add about 0.5" which doesn't really affect swingweight because it also functions as a counterweight with all the extra weight you put into the butt of the shaft. But more than that the swingweight will change. That's something I think you need to address in the video
Is it easy to change grips in future after extensions have been put on?
Would you guys recommend I do this myself? I have a small amount of experience with repairing stuff and building. But I don’t want to ruin my golf clubs if I do this wrong.
If I add an inch extension to the butt end of my driver, will I increase or decrease swing weight?
Turn your club upside down when the epoxy is drying. This way the epoxy does not drip down to the head of the club and dry there.
I went to Golf Galaxy to buy a super stroke, putter grip. I like the wider grips, and I asked the guy at the counter I have a 34 inch putter and I want to make it a 35 inch so I bought a grip and an extension at the store and then he gave me the scare tactic. I worry about the swing weight? I don’t think it would matter too much with a putter. What do you think? Thanks, John.
Great video! I am going to attempt this tomorrow. For the cutting, did the pipe cutter dull after a number of shafts? Most at the hardware store don't list cutting steel. Or have you tried a hacks saw or other tools to cut as well? Thanks!
I would definitely use a pipe cutter. I just got mine from Home Depot. It takes quite a bit to dull the blade, I have used it for 2 sets of clubs and each time worked great. Good luck!
@@SeekingBirdiesGolf Thanks, I grabbed a $6 pipe cutter from Harbor Freight. Cut through all 7 steel extensions like butter with a nice clean edge!
@@dkarlovsky Nice! I felt the same way you did before thinking it needed to be a special pipe cutter, but using just a few cuts, any would work! I'm glad it went well!
For every inch added the subsequent lie angle would need to flattened by 1deg possibly 2 as the toe would sit up otherwise.
So is each extention only good once, like after it's cut you are done with that piece? Maybe I missed it in the video.
Depends on the type of extensions you buy. The ones I used are double ended so you get 2 extensions it if one unit. I hope that answers your question!
@@SeekingBirdiesGolf it does thank you very much
Why dont you use compressed air to remove grips, which you can also reuse.
I wonder if jb weld would work
Ha! Maybe if your clubs are plastic? I don’t think the JB weld would hold the amount of torque!
@@SeekingBirdiesGolf lol
Hmm.. Why cut the extension AFTER installing instead of before? It's easy to mark the length needed and much more convenient to cut without the club hanging there. Plus, less risk of damaging the new epoxy job.
Just sayin...

Great video but to much intro and extra details. I said we get it like 20 times lol.
