Bored so I

[thecraw]

built up a "new" club from bits and bobs I had lying about.

I have put an Aldila NVS graphite shaft into my Ping S56 2 iron head. A trim of the tip, a trim on the butt, a new ferrule, Aroldite the shaft into the head and a new Ping ID8 grip.

Jobs a good un!


No idea how it'll work but it passed an hour! Feels a bit "head heavy" but I can easily remove the shaft once I get the proper shaft for the two iron.

Might unleash it at Bogside tomorrow for a giggle!!!

:thup:

Which version of Araldite did you use Craw. I tried the supposed "super" 2 part epoxy with a 7 iron I re-shafted last year and the head came loose after about 10 shots.
Then tried stuff called JB Weld which was fantastic until I noticed that it was proof against temperatures of up to 500*F and couldn't get the bloody head off again.
Now I use Evostik Ultra 2 part epoxy and it's great.

Sounds as though you didn't put in enough glue, I use rapid and it works absolutely champion.

Where are the photies Craw? Sounds like a geed project bud!

Put plenty in. Usually mix up around 30g of epoxy which is more than enough. Just didn't work with that stuff.
I have a shaft change to do next weekend so will give the rapid stuff a go.
Never use JB Weld lol

Watch the rapid stuff! If you get distracted like I did you end up with only half the shaft extension in place

I take it that it lives up to it's name then? Does anyone use shaft beads or the like? Never used them myself but been told they are advisable as it's like adding stones to cement to make concrete...
