fatshot Like 'em. The 1 inch longer ones remind me of what irons looked like "back in the day" when I bought my first full set. It seemed like ALL the companies had longer ferrules with colorful rings at the time......
KCee I used to prefer just plain black or maybe with white or silver ring(s), but I have seen some pics of cool builds lately with unique ferrules and I may have to spice up my next build.
rynobucket What is sad is I am one of the younger members on this forum, yet feel like I am one of the crustiest old curmudgeons most of the time. Simple black for me, if an OEM build has a few white or silver rings I can live with it (Cleveland ferrules with the white rings used to drive me nuts for some reason). Nearly all of the builds I see with the BB&F ferrules look hideous to my eye, almost like someone barfed after eating a huge bag of skittles...but if you like them that is all that matters. It would be a cold day in hell that I would be spending upwards of $40 for a set of ferrules, I'll stick with the black ones from Grail Golf.
Par4QC rynobucket Don't have to spend $40. https://www.diamondtour.com/club-making/ferrules-and-adapters/1-inch-colored-iron-ferrules-dozen.html They also have aluminum.
Walterjn rynobucket Nearly all of the builds I see with the BB&F ferrules look hideous to my eye, almost like someone barfed after eating a huge bag of skittles. I completely feel the same. They are always way onto gaudy and overdone.
Typhoon rynobucket the BB&F ferrules look hideous Yup… fruity assed shit. Save it for Flag fuckin Football … It’s like painting unicorns and putting ribbons on your hockey gloves. It limits the resale opportunities. I look at iron sets all the time and as soon as I see that crap I shake my head in disgust.
AdamMH Love a good, classy ferrule.... maybe not the more outrageous designs from places like BB&F, though I'm guilty of having bought one of their sets for a build that never happened.
rynobucket darpar What do you do with aluminum ferrules if the fit isn't perfect, can you turn them down at all? Yours look to fit perfectly.
darpar rynobucket I just measure the OD of the hosel with my calipers and hope the OD they give for ferrules is accurate.....the ferrules are anodized aluminum so you probably can't sand too much off of them.
colej rynobucket My thought was how do you pull a graphite shaft with the aluminum ferrule? Do you push against the top of the ferrule?
rynobucket Par4QC Don't have to spend $40. https://www.diamondtour.com/club-making/ferrules-and-adapters/1-inch-colored-iron-ferrules-dozen.html Still too busy for my eye, but those are much more acceptable (looks and pricewise) than what I initially thought the OP was referring to (BB&F type colors). Still twice the cost of classic black. BAAARRFFFF!!!
mulegolf Back when I was building and selling clubs I made a lot of custom ferrules. I'd order black ferrules and different colored trim rings and make them up. I didn't do any of the wild ass combos I've seen on the internet lately though. Mine were just to accent the colors in the iron head cavity most of the time. I also used trim rings to match the color of driver and fairway heads and/or shafts.
rsvman2 Thinking about customs from bbandf, but nothing outrageous. I like the ones called 'mint.' They are black, with three simple stripes, dark green/white/dark green. They look kinda old school, and the dark green isn't gaudy.
