Jelopster scotts33 how much ferrule creep you have experienced On a steel shafted iron, would pulling the head and re installing with epoxy be that much better than tapping it back and super glueing it to justify the time?
sdandrea1 Jelopster On a steel shafted iron, would pulling the head and re installing with epoxy be that much better than tapping it back and super glueing it to justify the time? To each his own. You choose. Either way, the club looks and performs the same.
Rickochet Jelopster On a steel shafted iron, would pulling the head and re installing with epoxy be that much better than tapping it back and super glueing it to justify the time? When a ferrule creeps on an iron it is often difficult to tell if the ferrule is loose or the head. To be sure I would pull the head and re-glue the head and ferrule.
DonM scotts33 I have clubs in my and my friends bags that are older than 10 years, with no ferrule creep. In my case the clubs are no longer in the bag but they were for 10+. If a ferrule slides on easily, I’ll epoxy it. But the ones I get are too tight if anything. I epoxied them for years, until I didn’t.
KCee scotts33 I learned to do it that way from the old Golfsmith VHS tape and Tom Wishon, but later I pretty much stopped doing that. I found if I didn't use epoxy with the ferrule I could sometimes save the ferrule or at least get the club apart a bit easier and I was always taking clubs apart. And what person that belongs to a golf forum uses a club for 10 years as is? 🤣
Taki27 sdandrea1 I would say that of the golf forums, Golfbuzz has the most experienced and knowledgeable builders in general. We don’t often see those ridiculous Golfwrx responses to club building questions. (I feel that I should tip my shaft 1/8 of an inch to bring spin down 🤣). We might not always agree, but most answers are well thought out and given from experience. I have been building clubs since 1995 and every day I learn something that could help me with my next build.
sdandrea1 Typhoon Steve hasn't owned a club long enough for ferrule creep 100% of the loose heads and ferrule creep repairs I have done have been on OEM clubs, mostly TM and Callaway. I still know and see guys who I have built clubs for in the past 30 years and still have zero feedback of any failures. I'm not a professional fitter, but I consider myself proficient at assembly and repair. It's not rocket science.
LogicalOne 5 drivers…..2 Tour Issue TM’s, 2 Titleist TS1’s and a Mizuno ST-X. I’m done for the day. Lol
LogicalOne colej No, I got this head off of eBay. Maple Hill sells just heads? Have a link my friend?? 😏🙂
colej LogicalOne I think it was Maple Hill Golf on eBay. I think they’re out of stock now though. I’ll see if I can find them.
Eguller sdandrea1 It's not rocket science. But it is complex physics -------- at least that is what Bryson told me. 🙄
garyt1957 sdandrea1 It's not rocket science. Ain't that the truth. I don't know bleep about club building and I've never had a failure, why? Because it ain't that hard! Now actually fitting someone takes some skill, but club building? It's harder to assemble something from IKEA.
LBlack14 I cut, trimmed and gripped 2 drivers, my Srixon Z785 and the Wishon 739 ccg I got from Chad. Put an adapter on a shaft for one of my Fly Zs. Not sure what driver I'm gonna take Saturday, but leaning to one of my Fly Zs, need the forgiveness.
LBlack14 Walterjn how are you liking that Srixon? I'm still 3 plus years since I last played. I just put the shaft in it and finished it up today. Not sure if I'm gonna take it Saturday or not and with the knee and hip, it's more of a chop than a swing still. It looks good though.
Walterjn LBlack14 Ok. Im sure that your swing will return quickly once you're able to heal and play on a regular basis.
