There are various sources for "special" paint for golf clubs on the internet. I guess it's normal acrylic paint. The only special thing is probably the very fine tip of the bottle. I used one of them.

Nothing special, just normal paint remover.

To get it perfect I spoke with GolfWorks to receive heads at the lower and upper tolerance range. They could do this to a certain extent, but not completely. Then instead of adding or subtracting 1-2 g...

I've only stamped 3 wedges until now. I believe the most important thing is to have a hammer that is heavy enough. A normal household hammer doesn't work. And the support has to be massive and not give...

Why change the ball?

Why not make the ball play shorter and use that ball for all players? The pros will lose 20 yards on their 300 yard drive and I'll lose 13 yards on my 200 yard drive. I don't see a problem. If you have...

The TS3 has 786 MPF. Brett mentioned that in a post.

Same here. The wedges are ready, the woods are ready, there's a big gap in the middle.

I didn't put any epoxy in the hosel, I didn't want it to build up at the bottom of the hosel. I coated the shaft, stuck it in, twisted it, pulled it out and applied a little more.

Gap between shaft and head

Building my first clubs. Before sanding the tip of the graphite shaft it didn't even fit in the head, after taking the paint off it's a perfect fit. When I roll the shaft in the epoxy, stick it in the...

So my idea wasn't that terrible, only it doesn't work in this case with tapered shafts.... :)

Hi T, thanks for your comment. I'm quite happy with the ball flight, it's at the upper limit of the launch angle. Accuracy is not so great, I was considering if that is a weight issue. My club head speed...

Making irons stiffer

I was given a set of Mizuno 919 forged irons with Fujikura MCI 60 R shafts. I quite like them but they are a bit soft for me. I was considering cutting the tip by 1/2" and extending the butt. Is that a...

6-gram tip weight

I was just reading about this: "Weight at the shaft tip will move the CG of the clubhead (and thus the "sweet spot" of the club) upward and toward the heel. This is undesirable, but the move is negligible...

Hi Blake, yes, you're right. It's a 5/7 set. :) But you get the idea. I'm playing with less clubs and therefore my gapping needs to be adjusted. The big store would also be happy to sell me single irons.

Set-up for half set

Hi, I'm playing a half set of Mizuno JPX 919 forged with Fujikara MCI 60-R (bought off eBay, not fitted, but I like them a lot). Now I'd like to change, mainly for the fun of changing and also for the...
