I don't even play or watch golf but yet I see myself sitting here watching this guys videos lol
Thanks for making a follow-up video to answer my questions.
Thanks for explaining shafting beads quantities. I’ve always been unsure about how much to use and your guidance is much appreciated.
Such interesting videos, I have been binge watching from NZ
Great information as always.
Hi again, I have the suspicion this video was made in response to my query on your last video. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video which answers what must be a very basic, mundane question for you! Cheers!
Love the video, thanks.
FYI- The B.C. Open was held in Broome County NY, on the En-Joie course in Endicott near Johnson City. The tournament was held there from 1971 to 2005 . The 2006 tournament was cancelled due to historic flooding.
Thanks for posting this.
Jim when spine aligning I did buy the bearings and PVC coupler you have and it works great. When I rotate the shaft it keeps ending in the same place which is the spine of the shaft. I also glue it at 12:00 o’clock. To the iron head in this case..! I think I’m doing it correct. Thanks for the tip on a great tool.! A must have in the club builders shop.
Thanks for the tutorial, and your music taste is great
Great videos!! Thanks.
Great video. Thanks. My question is what position do you place the club in while it is curing the 18-24 hours?
GREAT video!!!
I like to use Golfworks Tour Set Plus Beaded Epoxy 4900 psi @ 24 hrs. 2 to 1 mix. Also abraiding past the hozel on steel shafts opens them up to corrosion! Squirt a shot of Epoxy-gon on a Kim wipe cleans the hozel and head really nice.
Hobby club builder here who is probably more like that Monkey you described? Collared ferrules wow. Use a nail to coat the inside of the hosel and shaft and twist them together. Use shafting beads every time. Your way is much cleaner and has less epoxy to clean up, which I like. Learned something new with the tape for drying. Have built over 10 sets and luckily have not had any heads flying down the fairway yet. Subscribed, always willing to learn something better. Thanks, Sir.
Great video. I especially liked how you made mixing the 50-50 epoxy so simple with the one-inch lines. There was another video where the guy said he had a simple way of mixing it and the first thing he says is "get your scale", lol.
Hey Jim, love the videos, by far your experience shows through technique , knowledge etc so I’m confident in all you speak about clubs, period. Ok, ?#1- I have the Callaway ‘19 Apex Pro , same as this video, I’d like to put KBS Tour V 110 S shafts in them. The KBS Tour V is a .355 taper and the Apex Pro is a .370 taper tip, can I make this work or am I forced to choose a different club because I absolutely love KBS Tour V 110 S shafts. I had them on ‘14 Apex pros and loved them. I’m sure there’s some adapter so I’ll also go through all your videos, ( maybe answer my own question). But also I’m wondering if the spine is supposed to go on bottom of shaft- back of hosel- or top of shaft top of hosel aligned with the toe-? At 12:00 of course. Any and all info is greatly appreciated . Thank you for all your videos and input !!! Sincerely, Steve K.
Hi, great video. Love the tips for fixing shafts to irons. There is one problem you might be able to help with. What about fixing carbon crowns to driver heads. There seems to be a problem with crowns popping off.
Hope you might be able to help. Will a similar epoxy to shaft fitting do the job.
Thanks Harry .
Amazing ball cap change. So quick I didn't even see him do it ...
i have them all over the shop
Hi Jim. After you have put the head on and used the tape to stop it moving how to you store it? Head straight up not touching anything or just sits up against a wall?
Hi thanks for the video. I have a quick question. Must I put the tip weight into the tip? Can I just put the shaft into the hosel without the tip weight? Does the tip weight make a big difference? Thanks in advance. Have a good one.
I do have a question about shafting beads...what you used on this video is the center shafting beads which are like metal shavings or whatever, there are also glass beads which look like a white powder...when would you use those as opposed to the metal ones?
I am currently in the process of soft stepping my 4 and 5 iron. I pulled the 4 iron shaft and it fits much looser in the 5 iron head. Do you think shimming would be my easiest fix?
JB Weld. still loving the new level 902's
Not a fan of JB and glad they are working
Any tips and tricks in selecting the right type and size of ferrules? Is it as straight forward as 0.355 tip shaft, select 0.355 ferrules?
Jim...I do things the ‘Dana’ way...split grips so can swing weight/MOI last. GW V1003 50/50 epoxy ...5 min set time, 1 club at a time. Always abraid up under ferrule a tad, light epoxy swipe, slide on with light heat....push on with head. When tip id is big enough, go old time with lead powder and cork. No more tip pins except small diam lead for Steel Fiber 110s or some graphites. Most all hi quality steels FLO with label down. KBS...gotta FLO them. Love how you explain stuff...
Dana was the man, Sorry to hear of his passing.
Been to Mizuno assembly operation many times. 20 mi away. So simple... in line stations.. .. SW based but will ascend/MOI if spec’d. . Graphite Shaft vendors are now FLOing, then adding graphics at std spec loft on adapters clubs. Chris Voshall has many excellent YT videos explaining many techy head details.. whys ... of design changes. Unit volume has soared .
Should I use shafting beads when adding the Golfworks aluminum extensions to my steel shafts? Thanks. Great content!
I do when gluing most everything, however for extensions its not really a thing
HI Jim, after knocking in the weight into the tip, does it not create a vacuuming effect when gluing and how would you prevent this?.....I find your videos thoroughly entertaining and informative, keep up the good work.
You can use a very small gauge metal drill bit to drill through the lead / brass weight tip. But most modern golf weight tips have port holes built into them already.
so do you use the tape as the club is curing to keep the logo of the shaft aligned?
You the man
Is the bead additive good enough to center a g700 head with epoxy of course..seems like a major hassle even with the correct ferrules and new shafts..Where can I find your price on a iron set of reshafts..
Nice video as usual. Those are tour issue heads, I have seen a few sets on eBay . I thought all the Callaway irons were all .370 tip...are the tour issue .355's ? Did you have to spine and flow those shafts before assembling ?
Not sure where the golfer got the heads,they were .355 and I did not spine and FLO the shafts as the golfer wanted the logos down
Thank you for the reply.I looked these up on line and the apex pro 19's are indeed .355's. I hope that in the future you have time to do a video on hot melt vs rattle stop.I think many think that they are the same thing. Thank again for continuing to take the time to produce this content.
luv ur vids! can i use abrasive powder instead of glass beads?
Yes you can!
Have you ever seen an golf iron head that was tapped so it could be screwed on? I received a G410 7 iron head that has been tapped.
Hey Jim. Do you spine align your clubs when you make them? Thanks, Terry
yes, all the clubs go through the same process
Hey Jim, Can you do a video on fixing a rattle in a wood head sometime? Thanks.
Glue came loose.
Hi Jim, what epoxy are you using? Thanks
Hi Jim. Sorry if this is not the correct spot to ask, but I wanted to get your opinion on something. I just started building some clubs here and there and while turning down a ferrule, I noticed some tape I had wrapped around my graphite shaft was missing and there was a slight sanding scar right above the ferrule. It looks to be only on the surface, but I wanted to ask you if you think this will compromise the integrity of the shaft. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and thank you so much for all the great videos. It’s your fault I am trying to build clubs now!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Hope everyone on this channel is staying safe and healthy. All the best. Tim
Thk u,
In the future maybe talk about putting shaft pings
Is the little metal piece before shaft goes in necessary.i,m replacing similar aged old srixon 545 irons with new steel 6.0 projectx shafts . There where no inserts in shaft or clubhead.was that an xtra weight .
That it is a tip weight to make the swing weight the same. It tend to take them out and measure the heads again and weight to the desired sw, if needed
Awesome content. Question: How would fix the hosel creep? Have a great day
what is a hosel creep?
@@g.9174 Sometimes, based on pressure from the epoxy, the ferrel will begin to separate from the hosel. So to inhibit that from happening, you can tape the ferrel to the hosel will the epoxy dries and that should prevent the ferrel from moving. By the way, it is ferrel creep, I believe, and not hosel creep.
What I do is I put a flag of basic masking/painters tape wrapped around the shaft at the top of the ferrule. This also alerts me to any issues related to hydraulic pressure (air) forcing the shaft up during the curing process.
@@jeffreyprice2982 thanks for explaining
Great video: quality and content!
Stupid question: how do you put assembled clubs to rest until epoxy hardens? upright or downright ? sometimes I use pulled shaft when old glue is removed they lose something in diameter and they twirl around the hosel, which may result in losing the alignment. How do you put clubs to rest?
I am using glue that has a 3800 psi shear strength. Do you know what yours is rated at? Why black epoxy instead of clear. Thanks as always, Vic
According to GolfWorks, 2765psi at 24 hours, 3280psi at 7 days.
Hi Jim. Quick question, instead of using tip weight, is it ok to pour tungsten power into the hosel then add epoxy into it and mix em up at the bottom of the hosel, and then install the shaft with new epoxy applied on the shaft just like you did in the video?
Because I’m doing MOI matching instead of swingweight matching which requires much more precise weighting, and it’s nearly impossible to have the exact right weight with tip weights sometimes, whereas using tungsten powder I can get it spot on.
It certainly can be done, but it will a bit tedious
@@McGolf Thanks a lot for the reply Jim!
What is the best way to line the shaft up in the hosel? Also, how much does the epoxy add to swing weight?
it depends on what you mean by lining up. epoxy is not much to the sw however if you use tungsten power as the centering bead then quite a bit.
Quick question, does anyone ever solder steel shafts to irons? I have a plumbing background and it seems like it would be an easy way to install and remove steel shafts to irons.
I have a Titleist 755 CB irons. I need to change the original shafts (trispec S shafts) and I gone install Mamiya Actionlite 55 A shafts. Do I need to put on some weight on the shafts or not. What if I don’t put nothing? Please answer me something I’m in Argentina and in my city there’s no golf shops and nothing about that. Please. Thank you very much!! Best regards!
Changing the shafts can be done no weights needed
Thank you very much!! Now I am calm. Best regards!!! I really appreciate your assistance 👏👏👍
What type of Epoxy is your go to? GolfWorks long cure or 3M ScotchWeld?
I need some help with fitting a KBS CT Putter double bend shaft into my Mizuno M Craft 3 putter. The diameter is correct but the lie angle of the shaft is incredibly flat versus the stock shaft. I have had 2 fitters look at it and they are afraid to bend it that much and it has lost the face balance. I can send pictures.
Help!
please do
@@McGolf where would you like me to send you the pictures?
Logo alignment. How best to get them all the same.
Apparently kid sounds like him hahaha. Great video
Is the JB WELD EPOXY any good for golf clubs ?
on year 2 with wedges i built using JB WELD, no issues!
Do u need shafting beads
Why did you not use brass tip weights? Those shafts are expensive and if he changes heads those lead tips will fall apart... is it a cost thing? I know the brass tip weights are 5x more and that adds up between irons and wedges... or is it a preference thing since you don’t have to glue the tip weight? Thanks Jim!!!
The lead weight are cheaper. If they need removed then drilling is pretty easy. I haven’t had a fall apart issue before however, at the added cost the lead just works well.
McGolf Custom Clubs I never thought to drill them out instead or using a torch. When I used a torch it literally either swelled up and popped out or became so soft I had to take like 2-3 of those wire brushes you use to get the shaft cleaned out. I guess for my own personal builds the brass are still the better option since they are reusable. Thanks for answering my question!
i used a gun cleaning brush ...i think it was a 30 caliber
but i'm a monkey making a old set of clubs for my 7 year old daughter..not worried for a pro to use but trying my best
Any reason you don’t use the epoxy mix that’s ready in 20 minutes. Thanks.
Just my opinion, but that stuff should only be on the tour, I dislike it for safety reasons and your application time is very limited because the stuff wants to cure very fast.
The 20 min stuff is used in putters at Mcgolf. The 20 min epoxy has a lower shear point than the 24 hr epoxy. For guys like us it’s a much better choice
What is the piece that you pound into the shaft?????
It's a tip weight, just used to get the swing weight correct.
Could you explain why the weight goes in the shaft and how do I know how much weight to put in ?
weight in the tip section of shaft is where additional weight if need goes to preserve cosmetic appearance of the head. There are swing calculators out there that are pretty good.
By cosmetic appearance you meant adding lead tape?
@@gabrielcobian2754 you bet
Is there a difference in steel vs graphite epoxy??
Nope
@@McGolf Cool thanks
Hi do u do repairs. Feom customers shipping item to u.
Tjx,
does anyone use the PETRONIO’S #8 RUBBER CEMENT to install grips(instead of the conventional way)- it allows you to just blow the grip off and re use the grip anytime you want. Its handy especially when/ if you wanna shorten or add length without having to just cut the grip off and install a new grip every time. I am constantly tinkering with length/swing weight so I have some grips I've taken off and put back on 6-7 times with no problems. Its really simple instead of sticky tape you use just plain masking tape-the glue bonds to the tape after a few minutes. You have to use something other than a Lamkin grip- most of those will still blow up(with the air hose) and have to be discarded. I use golf pride and super soft-no problems installing and re installing. It only takes about 30-50 lbs of pressure to blow the grip off when installed via the cement and I've never had a grip break lose from the glue during play. Just search for it online-a place here in Memphis sells it by the gallon. A gallon should last a few dozen set builds at least.
BC open...the pride of Endicott NY. They went under in 2006 unfortunately.
12:18 Sorry cat, but Fleisher lost by 7 shots. You're looking at the 3rd round. He shot 76 on Sunday....and Chris Perry actually won.
Do you have to use a ferrel with a collar if you iron head has a shoulder?
On steel it is not absolutely needed but I would strongly consider it for graphite
Thank you
Woodglut has a lot of designs to choose from.
Im watching this video cause I glued my first shaft and the head came flying off after 5 swings
Does your little sign say "RØDE"?? Danish for "red"
Just my opinion. Don't ask for likes at the beginning. It's pushy. How 'bout a third of the way in? Or a quarter. When I first tuned in, I thought, what a pushy guy. You don't need that. It's a good channel. Be patient. You will get the viewers. I subbed and shared. I think it's good. Only problem is too many people are interested in "the game" and don't care about how the game is won. That's America. What can ya do? Ain't gonna change. Later...
I'm a monkey just slapping stuff together. Sometimes I get lucky.
nice
i weight out epoxy so it is correct. not a short cut guess.
OK, LISTEN!!!
STOP DOING CLOSE UP'S.
Dude holding tools up in front of your face to show us is really frustrating to the viewers because the camera will always focus on the face. Nothing you ever try to show us is ever in focus.
no f.l.o.
like i said short cuts.....
lucky most people don't know what is a professional or not...
you know better please do better.
He mentioned in a comment that customer wanted logo down, so didn’t need to sine and flo as it was moot point
