Clubmaking Tools

sfhubbard

Been a LONG time since I posted around here. I think we were FGI last time I was active.

So, is club making still a thing? I'm out of clubmaking and largely out of golf all together. I have some stuff to unload.

Maltby 1"x42" belt sander w/ at least 1 blue belt (maybe 2 if I can find the other) Photo below. Price: $100 plus shipping. FedEx/UPS suggesting $25-$50 for shipping because it's bulky. I have the ferrule turning arm too.
Roberts shaft puller (mounted on a a wood backing which I can remove) Photo below SOLD
Wishon MOI counter -- this is the original pendulum timer. I think I also have instructions to use it for MOI. $25 shipped.
Golfsmith Loft/Lie measurement (similar to GOlfmechanix unit on Golfworks) with protractor. $100 shipped.
Golfsmith club length ruler like this one: LINK $35 shipped. Looking for a box that will fit it!
Golfsmith swing weight scale SOLD

Still preparing to catalog . . . a box of grips (maybe 30 of them in there), a box of shafts (taped shut from our last move -- no telling what's in there!),

I could use that club length measurer if it's still available?

Welcome back, it's still a thing...see the thread above.

sfhubbard

toraider Thanks. Yeah, my bench used to look like those. Then came ultra running. Then came a move to the east coast. So I have some nice tools to off-load and maybe some components as I go through these boxes.

Anyone around Boston . . . maybe we can arrange delivery and save on shipping.

sfhubbard Then came ultra running.

If you have any foot issues, my dad is a former ultra runner (4? times Western States, a 72 hour run and a ton of 24 hour runs combined with a bunch of 50k's and such) and wrote a book called "Fixing Your Feet" and he maintains a blog:

Waiting for your components sale! Welcome back. 😄

sdandrea1 Waiting for your components sale! Welcome back. 😄

Ha! Well, prepared to be disappointed then! 😅 Haven't opened the shaft box yet, but there's not much in there. So far, only TWO clubheads have turned up. 1) A Purefit 5-iron (that I think I paid $1.95 when MyOstrich closed them out. 2) And a BUL 5-wood which is a nice looking clubhead in really nice shape.

Got a Ping K15 driver and 5 wood. Barely used. No driver box though . . . working on it.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the link! Already digging into it!

Hoss7504 Sent you a private message. Still have the club length ruler.

First DIBS on the K15 clubs. What shafts? PM sent

If I was still coming to the North Shore area I might have interest. Shipping kills a lot of deals for me.

Pm sent on the shaft puller

LBlack14

Even though I find SW uninteresting, what's GS look like?

sfhubbard

LBlack14 It's a beam-balance scale like the one shown here: LINK. Still have the original box. I can send photos of the actual unit if you like.

I used to keep a spreadsheet of my builds that would tell me what swing weight I should end up with. Then I had a quick way to check the build. SW is a lousy design parameter, but as a build parameter, it's ok.

Yep!
