How to Build Golf Clubs PT 2

[@JJ-lm4pg]

Awesome stuff, just started my own "work shop" for my club maintenance. These videos really help! I looked through your channel, could you do a video on "must have" golf service equipment?

[@McGolf]

will do, It is on the list

Hey Jim! Thoroughly love the videos! I am replacing my first shaft on an old wedge that I want to match my current set. My current set is a kbs tour v 110 s @ 35" ttip...I see 37" shafts out that I plant on cutting down to 35"...My question is do I cut from the tip of from the but? does this affect the flex at all?

[@McGolf]

Micah Gregus most wedges are taper tip so only but trim

[@eoc1963]

As a general rule when tip trimming to a frequency, how much cpm do you gain tipping a half inch and a full inch.? Thanks for an informative video.

[@McGolf]

eoc1963 in general about 1/2 a flex per 1/2 in trim

[@elliott3991]

In general, in some shafts over the years, 2 inches of tip is a flex. I doubt you can get a half flex out of a half inch more of cutting tip. In some stepped steel shafts, like original dynamic golds, you can lay down the r and s or was it the( s and x models next to each other) and see that 2 inches of tip is the difference in the models with all the step lining up. Those shafts then had the same instructions with the 2 inch tip differential. In most shafts if you trim the tip an extra half inch, you can notice a little difference, but not for sure if it will feel an entire half flex stiffer. Also in a video a statement of how many cpms is a flex, and I would offer 10 is, not the low number suggested. I would offer 80 percent or more of users could not come close to differentiating an identical model shaft that was 2 cpms butt freq different from another. Be advised, as he points out in his first video, shafts vary in stiffness design changes along their entire length, so butt frequency does not give a good comparison of shafts of different designs/models. This guy must make some extremely consistent clubs, matched likely to his fitting club demos he likely measured when making. Totally Unlike what you may get when you open your oem box of chocolates. You just never know whats in the box, despite of the order spec given to them.

Great video again. What was the initial ( goal ) total weight for the set ? As you talked in the end of this video about SW. And how did you decided the total weight ?

[@McGolf]

When doing total weight its all about measuring the components at the beginning, If off a progression then adjustments are made to make them in line. Standard is whatever the make has decided works and we can modified from there

[@sundman71]

Ok , thought you decided for an example #6 "should weigh approx = 415gr. Should be a proper weight for a "standard" 6 iron for the person even if swing weight been around C9 . ( not typical D2 ) Head = 262 gr , shaft = 95gr Grip = 52 gr and rest for tape , ferrule an glue approx 6 gr.

Does adding a tip weight noticeably change the center of gravity and make it closer to the heel

[@McGolf]

John Faieta most tip weights are not big enough to noticeably change the COG. The 10g is the only one that might and only slightly. Now it could make you turn over the club a bunch

[@greatpar]

Hi Jim, can you only frequency match parallel shafts. What happens when you have a tapered shaft. Cheers

[@McGolf]

Great Par yes you can freq match the parallel shaft, taper tip shaft are not unless you have many of each length.

[@greatpar]

McGolf Custom Clubs So it’s better to bore out the hosel to .370 so you can match the shafts. Cheers

[@McGolf]

Yes it would be my opinion

[@acamt]

Hey Jim...what relation do you install the spine of the shaft to the iron and is this a standard?
