Well, it happened again,I was on the driving range, hitting a teed up ball and the head went flying down the range. Based on the looks of it the shaft just pulled out of it. Was it just bad epoxy or could i just be catching the tee and rippping the heads off?

Possibly not enough epoxy and/or you need to roughen up the surfaces to help activate them for the epoxy to work well.

What, no ferrule? FYI that club PLAYS @ 45", the shaft's not 45". Should be the same shaft as the driver iirc. I had both recently as in this past summer. Tip trim to flex then butt trim to playing length. Tinkering's fun. Have fun with it.

I sweep with my metal woods, most of the time. There are times I will get a bit steeper with them. Sometimes I will also sweep with my irons, depending how divot friendly the ground/turf is. Some of the fairways I play on, are pretty hard. It's not so much about protecting the club as it is about protecting my shoulders down, to my hands. I have enough pins, screws, and plates on my left side, that I can melt an airport metal detector. :-P

I think there is a video on YouTube by Hogan on hitting down with fairway woods.

Does anybody know how to launch irons high while hitting down on it. I love to hit down on it but recently have had trouble with too much shaft press.

Do you mean that your hosel is deflected backwards rather than forward deflection at impact?

Well I was talking about the grip being ahead of the ball but I looked at a picture and there is some deflection shown in b, couldn't tell if there was any a because it was dtl. What do those cause, and are caused by what

So, I guess you were stating that you have so much lag that you are basically de-lofting the club? Is it possible for you to go see a fitter and find out what is actually happening?

OK i re glued the head on,but now I'm leery of hitting it. A classmate told that after breaking the end of the shaft shaft two times the shaft might be compromised. Does that make any sense to you all or is it not a valid point?

IDK from experience, but from a technical standpoint as long as the structure of the shaft is not compromised it should still work fine. Are there any obvious cracks in it? Plus, if it does break it will more than likely go forward with the ball.

I've had a few glue failures in the past, and one more recently because of a bad glue job on my 5i.

1st, did you clean the hosel out well? Was the epoxy mixed right and well? Did you give it plenty of time to cure? Please don't re-install without a ferrule....that fits. Looks pretty tacky. :-) The shaft will not play the same since it was was broke and all you did was "grind" it off.

Yeah, i agree, i need the ferrule but none fit so i was forced to go without one. It had 6 months to dry. No obvious cracks, but i haven't been using it that much. Ive been getting more than enough yards out of my 4 wood (cranked one to 270 with roll the other day, wish that was average though lol). i may carry it a little bit in the spring when i get off the simulator and have some time to actually test it.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
