What is all involved with iron shafting? What kind of tools would be necessary for anyone to do this the right way?

Basically, if I bouth clubheads, and club shafts, what would I need to have to put them together besides epoxy?

Clubmaking etc is something I would like to start doing but I dont want to do it incorrectly. I want to get off to the right start.

I saw some videos online and it doesn't look all that complicated. All you really need is a vice and a rubber clamp to protect the shaft. The guy on the video cut the shaft with a really cheap looking hack saw. It looks pretty easy to do if you a standard spec guy, I could build clubs here (at least I think I could) but would have to shell out a 4-6 dollar cost per club to have my lie angles changed.

I guess I feel that it should be harder than putting some epoxy in and then cutting the shaft to length and altering lies. I hear guys in my league talk about finding the "center" of the shaft and stuff.

I watched the video on golfsmith.com, I think it can get a little more complicated with graphite but steel looked relatively simple. Prepare the tip with sandpaper, lube the tip and the ferrell and the inside of the iron, push it on... cut the butt, grip. I don't see how complicated it can get.

Good way to get an idea of what you're in for is to go to one of the introductory clubmaking schools at Golfworks, http://www.golfworks.com/article.asp_Q_ai_E_12 or http://www.golfsmith.com/cm/?PHPSESS...a71ee510758af3 .

If you do a search of GolfWRX then there are a few threads on the equipment that is required/needed to get started in clubmaking. http://www.hirekogolf.com/ , http://www.wishongolf.com/twforum/ , https://www.proclubmakers.org/ , http://www.golfsmith.com/cm/forum/gs...code=advanced1 are also supposed to have good clubmaking forums...

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
