Just not this week! I have a couple of jobs for him to do

WOW...you too, eh?

Guys is there much difference in what glue do you use for your shafts. I was thinking of getting this. http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_TSPE if this no good, what would you recommend? Also does glue/epoxy have much of a shelf life?

Thanks

That is what I use...

there is a 15 and 40 min gel version... got the 40 min.. more time to make adjustments.

mrbluu, I just received some 2 part epoxy from a guy who sells gear on eBay out of Tassie.

Very reasonably priced and the few clubs that I've assembled with it are great.

I use this too, just make sure you have everything ready as it does gel quickly.

Lads,

I have just tipped a ADDI 7s 1/2"... It is in Razr hawk head ... it will play 44".... think I should worry about putting a plug in the other end ( no homo ). I haven't hit it yet, so I am not sure, I thought I would pick your brains.

Isn't that progolfgear that's on here?

Depends on your preference but I'd try it as is. If it doesn't work then its always easy to put an extension in later. Swingweight will be way down though.

I'd say it would be...

Yeah, that is a bridge for later on....hope this one gets out there a little longer now, would like a bit lore space between Marto and I on the tee...

[chappy1970]

Yes Ashes,
I didn't make the connection that he was an Ozgolfer.

Ian, if you need epoxy (I also got some shafting beads and borethru pins) get in touch with Luke (Progolfgear) he will look after you.

I recently bought one of these Regrippers;

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=150915762363

I already had a Pure Grips tool, which was good, but the protective shroud got in the way on some grips. The DG-10 has been excellent so far. It seems to get a better seal and provides more power somehow. It blows old grips off easier than the Pure Grip tool ever seemed to do.

[hocko]

Can you decrease the loft on a driver?

Nice. I need a WA group buy to help on shipping.

Make sure you use a protective shroud, as these will pop a grip real quick if you aren't careful enough. I have backed mine off 20 psi and still too powerful at times.

PS. He also sells a cheap Spinefinder. Wish I had seen it before I ordered the Regripper.

[TourFit]

Can you decrease the loft on a driver?

Yes. If you have a loft/lie machine for woods. Always go the best model for these, as the heads are more valuable but vulnerable, and so you want the one with most effective clamping and least movement

Do you have one?

Cheers for that Dave.

I use a standard trigger nozzle for removing grips rather than the specialised tools. It's easier to twist the butt of the grip.

Pop's, I think you'll be alright considering your height and arm length with it at 44"
Maybe a touch light?
Give it a go, you can add lead strips to suit later on?

[TourFit]

Do you have one?

No. I have thought about it though, but in the end I've resisted any temptation. It can be very tricky to bend titanium hosels. It is much more brittle than steel. When they go they go without warning! It is a fairly 'high risk' thing for paintwork too. And for the most part you're only talking small adjustments anyway. Most guys who have the wrong loft have it WAY wrong, and small increments may not make too much difference to them.

Well, my opinion anyway!

[BayBum]

Fit - Did you have any issues removing the OEM sleeve from the Fast12 ?

[TourFit]

I haven't done one yet...but I imagine that it wouldn't be too hard!

I seem to be getting 'unlucky' with Cally Razrfit's though ...first simmsy had a glue failure on his, then for JC I didn't have a proper ferrule (they are a little tough to get at the moment) and he was a bit worried about the large cavity at the top so I re-glued it when he came back with a PROPER ferrule. Boy are those things tight when they go in! His seems to have cracked from the top a little. I hate Callaway stuff...why do they have to make it so 'hard' (or better put, why do they make it higher risk than it has to be)

[mrbluu]

If a putter is too flat, would it cause you to push or pull putts??
