I know some people don't like the idea of this but I'm the kind that does. I really like the look of personalized clubs with initials or names on it. I just purchased a hand stamping kit from Harbor Freight and was wondering if anyone has tried this before?

I tried on some old clubs but it's not working out too well. I heard it's supposed to be 1 firm blow but I've tried that and it barely makes an imprint. I've tried several blows but the stamp kind of jumps around making an ugly and faint print. I've tried the double sided sticky tape but that still doesn't do the trick. Any tips or tricks from people that have tried this? Thanks

I actually got it to work. I purchased an engineer's 4lb hammer from the hardware store. The problem was that the stamps I got from harbor Freight were garbage. It was a flat tip with the letter on top. I looked at other sets and the stamp came to a point with the letter on the tip. This made the stamp imprint onto the metal a lot easier.

Once I got a new set from Hanson everything worked great. Just one hard whack and the letters came out perfect.

Pretty much everything you get from Harbor Freight is crap. Can you show us a pic of the finished stamp?

Yeah I'll get a pic up in a little bit. I just paint filled them so I'm waiting for them to dry.

Wow, awesome. Now, did you do that to your MP-33s? I'm interested in doing that too, seems like a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Oops, I just posted another thread about this same thing. I really want to see your results, as I would like to do this to my wedges. Not sure I could fit them anywhere on my irons though.

Sorry everone for the lack of pictures. I'm trying to find my camera haha.

The 1/8 stamps actually look to be a good size for golf clubs. I'm sure 3/4 would look fine as well but it was mostly more of the cost factor.

I did do these to my MP33's, it was kind of scary but I practiced on a few old clubs first to get the feel of it.

As for holding the club in place, I used a flat drill press vise. I also purchased magnetic covers for the jaws to protect my clubs from marks. People suggest doing the stamping with the club heads apart from the shafts but I did my clubs with everything intact. No problem at all.
