An updated hotmelt question - ie, any new leads to get hotmelting done?
Have a new driver I am eying off - not interested in 45.5" club lengths, need to at least an inch of the shaft off. Doesn't have great replacement weight options - so hotmelt it seems to be.
I have a hotmelt gun, but I'm struggling to get hold of the open hold glue for hot melting.
Any leads AD?

Anyone know how to recalibrate a loft lie machine at all?
I'm showing 3 degrees strong. And I've tried the part where it sits with no differenceIMG_20220512_121936.jpg

Hi guys, I'm thinking of bending some Yamaha irons. I might need to bend the lie 7-10degrees.
They're soft forged irons, but bending that much seems like a lot.... Any views ideas, suggestions?
Did you add 3 inches to the shaft?
For those of you that do MOI assembly, are you factoring in progressive lie angles?
In theory, if 7 iron is the standard club to MOI match on, then the PW will need to be relatively flatter than 4 iron by about 2 degrees.
As i understand it, the metrics used are
1/2" = 1 degree lie angle.
MOI shaft length clubs are 3/8" increments as opposed to 1/2", thus W is longer than standard SW fitting and 4 iron is shorter.
Not something I worry about. A standard set (which is usually my starting point) has a 2 to 3 degree progression from the factory. I use actual MOI and adjust to my target MOI by lengthening the club. The length progressions stay reasonably consistent across a typical set. In my experience in doing this, any length progression variations (mostly 1/4" max) are due to the original club being an outlier in the set.
If you are building a set from scratch via 3/8" increments, then I presume you have matched weight progression heads to start with?. Ditto your shafts (or are you frequency matching?). 7 iron being your target club and middle of the set, would mean you would build up and down, so potentially 3/4" variance at the extremes (4i/PW). I don't get those length variations in my builds. I find a typical set from the factory isn't all that far out on MOI matching. Given that they are typically built to a SW, not a surprise as SW is an approximation of MOI. But my Target MOI is much higher than the average set comes from the factory. I typically add 1.5 to 2.0" to the length when I MOI match a set to my target. This potentially throws off the Lie Angle from Standard, but I am tall and the more upright result suits my swing, so it is not usually an issue for me.
Thanks... i tend to pull my wedge too often, so i suspect this might be why. From memory when i checked lie angle on GC quad, might have only used 4 and 6 iron, which indicated needed to bend 4 flatter.
Kinda offtopic but I did see a very interesting video recently from John Erickson, explaining why flatter lies make it easier to hit the ball straight, he is using 6 flat. Its a different way of looking at this.

Hi guys, is there anyone on Northside of Brisbane that can remove a shaft tip & put another one on pls
