Clubmaking Forum

discuss, ask and learn about golf and clubmaking

I love helping people "play better golf," whether through golf lessons, custom club fitting and set building, or by repairing their clubs. I have been trained by Jim Yachinich at three different schools at Golfworks. I am certified on the Mitchell Signature Angle and Putter Angle machines. I am also Titleist Performance Institute Certified.

Thank you, Britt. It's not as though you aren't busy enough! I asked because I didn't see anywhere that gave further explanation. Thanks again!

Golfworks putter hosels

Right now it's not an issue and it will probably never be an issue. It was in an M890 build when I needed to change out the screw weight for the lightest possible one. It's all set with the right swingweight,...

Torx screw weights

Jim or Britt, The 2 gram Torx screw weights are easy to strip, I imagine because they are made of aluminum so they can weight just 2 grams. What is the recommended way to remove it once it is completely...

The new STi2 will only have a cosmetic change. No change in the MPF, which is 772.

Classic vs modern lofts

I’d suggest that you build one club and compare it to your current set. The Series 5 steel shaft is 116 grams. A pretty good comparison might be the True Temper Score LT, which is 117 grams and an excellent...

If I may, I’d also like to suggest the Graftech 55 shaft. I know it’s an inexpensive option, but I have been surprised by the quality and performance of this shaft. I have built a driver with it for...

Why not play the most forgiving

The most forgiving irons address just one dimension of what golfers are looking for in an iron. Some want more distance and there are irons that give more distance usually with lower lofts or a hollow...
