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...

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
