For those wondering ... those stamps appear to be 1/4". The box will say 1/4 inch but the letter actually measures 3/16" tall. There is a tool holder available for those of you worried about smashing your fingers while stamping. Stamps CAN go flying if you catch off-centre hits with the hammer. You'd hate to slice a stamp into your dog. More detailed stamps (other than letters) can be quite difficult to reset in the exact same spot to deepen your impression so if you're using those you might want to seriously consider the punch holder and give it a good smash ONCE. Stamps don't wear out quickly enough to worry about unless you cheap out buying them. Chromed clubs will require an even heavier hit and therefore aren't friendly with detailed stamps as you might require multiple hits. I would plan to stamp on a very solid surface and move to the corner of the table where the leg is directly under your work area. Hopefully this helps answer some of the questions.

Thank you so much! This helps a lot

[@jasonlewis6481]

Checked out Lee Valley. They sell 2, 3, and 5 mm. If some of the other posters are correct, the 5mm will be the closest to 1/4" stamp.

[@GolfLeagueTracker]

Might want to grab some mild steel from home depot to practice on first!

[@Andrew-sb9qt]

Great Video!

[@andrewwolf4963]

i didn’t know you had a youtube , but i use your forum all the time when i need trusted reviews

[@wkndwarrior4733]

Txg Ryan! Came from WRX!

[@jesseparra570]

Thanks man!!! I was using TESTORS model paint which works great but never thought of nail polish! Millions of colors out there

[@jessicapizzuto6931]

Nail polish is the way to go! Been using it for years on my irons and wedges.

[@i_have_a_coat]

You can also use some nail clear coat once its dried to add a little depth, shine, and protection. Do it to all my wedges i paint.

[@BuckeyeMax17]

What thickness stamp did you use, 1/8” or 1/4”? Thanks!

[@jonafrica5739]

What size stamps are preferred?

[@MissDaisyTheRacoon]

Can you please make a video of how to stamp putters?... Specifically scotty cameron.

[@realmikeq]

I personally would never use a torch around an open can of acetone. ⚠️

[@golfinitup2]

Do you have a video on pulling the shaft and re-installing the same shaft?

[@roberthind3394]

W RX !

[@chrisloreth]

what size is that anvil?

[@VanNuysCountryClub]

Sweet that was great . I gotta get an anvil now lol

[@brettperry3919]

Definitely beats waiting 8 weeks for tm to deliver

[@tpo7368]

What size stamps 2,3 or 5 mm please

[@mcminiplayer03]

how would you go about stamping the club with the shaft still on the club? the video was already super helpful

[@GolfLeagueTracker]

Just put the anvil near the edge of the bench.

[@stina7]

Golf League Tracker.......mind blown!

[@drewg8542]

I’d like to know the same

[@mrjohnconnory]

Have your anvil or pounding surface at least as high as your club and it needs to be near the edge of your table so the shaft hangs off the edge

[@jacobcentaladpt]

Is it possible without an anvil?

[@finc18]

Where did you get your stamps from- and what size are they?

[@bertraminc9412]

Since you took the time to tell us about the stamps.... how long do they last before you need to replace them?

[@unclesam51]

it would be hard to wear them out.

[@kaushalraipancholia3765]

Do you need a metal hammer to do this?

[@scottelectronic]

I can’t get the stamp to leave anything even resembling a deep imprint and I’m hitting it way harder than you hit it. I’ve tested 2 old clubs now.

[@patw34n99]

What size are your stamps? 5mm?

[@Wynnjm]

Really want to know the answer to this! ☝🏻

[@brandonallen5609]

Anthony Taranto from Callaway messaged me back and he uses 3/32” stamps. Hope that helps

[@unclesam51]

@@brandonallen5609 Lee Valley offers metric, 2mm, 3mm, 5mm on their website. So, I'd guess the 3mm ?

[@stevehobbs1759]

Ryan is using Lee Valley item 92W6820, 3mm Letter & Number Stamp Set

[@Sistopha]

I wonder why he won't answer to the question regarding the size of the stamps?

[@markkinsella2270]

That looks awful
