What did you build today?

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.

darpar Built a couple of darpar designed squatty potty's....

I would call it the Stool stool.

Will that raise your junk out of the water if you hang a bit too low?

Be careful, it might put your junk in the trunk!

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

Do you use Bramptons shafting epoxy?

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.

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.

The postman brought me some work to do.

backinit How is it to take apart?

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.

Rickochet This stuff maintains a very small amount of flexibility after drying. I see that as a good thing. By the looks of things you can play it after about 60 - 90 minutes.
I'll report back after disassembly.

I found that where someone used JB Weld on a putter shaft extension. I had to saw it off .

sdandrea1 Those heads point in different directions. Ambidexterous?

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.

backinit Just an update. I did a pull on a graphite shafted club with Bob Smith's epoxy. It was fairly clean. It might have taken a little more time vs Bramptons. I would say 2 3-4 minute sessions rotating the hosel with the heat gun on high so not terrible at all.

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

I was able to successfully push the Ping ferrule off the Ninja shaft and keep it with the adapter. I put the TM adapter on the Ninja shaft. I think is going to be 48.25”. Fine with me. The shaft with the adapter came out to 47”

Typhoon goodness.....gonna feel like a lumberjack swinging that stick
