Built a couple of darpar designed squatty potty's....
These things really 'doo-doo' work!
What did you build today?
That’s pretty cool, thanks for sharing!
I have a few rounds in with the shafts now and they are nice. I’m thinking I should have tipped them some more though, I have a case of the spins in the Single length irons I built with them. I’m yanking 6irons back, it’s cool and all, but not super helpful for distance . I have been able to flight the shots pretty well and had a lot of “wow” shots with the wedges, those old school Tiger shots, low and hot, 1 hit and zip to a stop. The thing is, I’m not talented enough to actually hit those consistently, so I know I’m getting more spin than I’m accustomed to. My gapping is the real issue, much too tight, full go gets shots spinning too much and dying on me. I think I’ll pull them and take another half inch off.
LogicalOne NeuroX 5 wood replacing my ol Geek DCT, going back onto the same Grafalloy Epic T75X that has served me well for years. Now I just need to bribe Kelly out of that 4 hybrid head he teased a while back.
Bad news was the heat compromised the epoxy on my Ninja LD shaft that I had the Ping G425 LST in. I was at the range and after a shot the head spun around.
Good news is I plan on selling the head, don’t need it and now I don’t have to pull the adapter. I’ll clean up the shaft and put a TM on there.
Good warning though, we’ve had a bunch of 90-100 degree days. Clubs were actually in my garage but it’s wicked hot in there… my smoke alarms go off. Taking the clubs inside
Rickochet No, but I know what you’re saying. A few years back I had Bramptons give out and threw it out. I remember you talking about it at the time.
I use the Golfworks stuff. I’ve been hitting that shaft off and on since the spring without a problem. I would have to blame the heat for the failure.
The postman brought me some work to do.
backinit I have starting using Bob Smith Industries - BSI-203H. It has a working time of 5 - 10 minutes. Available on eBay and Amazon. Good stuff.
BSI has good quality stuff but I don't know that I would use that for golf clubs. It looks just like JB Weld. It is almost impossible to pull a shaft from a head that used JB Weld without scorching it. The videos on Amazon show people trying to drill and grind it. Golf shafting epoxy maintains a bit of flexibility for shock absorption. Leave left over glue on a paper plate and after it is dry you can bend the leftover glue. A local dealer used to sell shafting epoxy with his store label on it. He told me he got it from Golfsmith in 5 gallon cans and bottled it with his label. He needed to reorder and GS was out so they had it drop shipped from the mfgr. which was the Hardman Corp.. You can find Hardman Epoweld on ebaybay.

Those heads point in different directions. Ambidexterous? Love those i-Drive shafts.

Tried to fix it for you, but now the print on the I-Drives is all wrong :
What the heck, they're not for myself so I'll send them out to my clients as they are.
Typhoon I found that where someone used JB Weld on a putter shaft extension. I had to saw it off
.
I bought a component fairway wood years ago that needed a reshafting. I almost had to use nuclear weapons to get the glue to release and ended up scorching the crap out of the head. I asked the seller what he used to glue on the head and he told me it was JB Weld. After that I no longer bought a club unless I knew what kind of glue was used.
Demo build night…
Maltby TS3 8 iron with @LogicalOne 85S graphite…tipped per specs
Mated a Cobra adapter with @LogicalOne Leveler…tipped for stiff flex…will cut to 45” and give it a run with LTDx Max 10.5* head
