Club Making

[ANTC]

Okay I have a pretty much generic putter I want to use the shaft from that and replaced the head with this here would it be a good idea? and also is it hard to do it your self i googled it all i really came up with was i need a heat gun to remove the head.

I build a lot of clubs and have done a few dozen putters. I wouldn't mess around with your old putter. Just get a new shaft and grip. The shaft will run you about $5 and the grip... well that's up to you, could be as cheap as $1 to $10 or more.

You'll need a few other supplies regardless. Shafting epoxy (do not use regular epoxy, it's harder and more brittle and takes much much more heat to breakdown if you ever want to remove the head), some wet/dry sandpaper to abrade the shaft tip. You'll want to clean the putter hosel well and possibly abrade the inside of it too. A final cleanup with some acetone or isopropyl alcohol before you epoxy it together.

None of it is all that hard, it's just paying attention to detail. If you take your time and do it right you'll have a really nice club when you are finished. If not, not so nice...

well i was going to get a new grip for the shaft i found a nice one on golf smith i was going to have my local range take care of it for 6 bucks but they don't do reshafting, I wanted to keep this as cheap as possible since I need a new driver and i wanna put more into that but I'll look for a cheap shaft if I can get it for 5 bucks i'll go for it. also do u have a kit you can recommend a shafting kit i guess I have a heat gun so thats no problem.
