Thanks Bernie,   I have all of Golfsmith's catalogs dating back to 94" except 95, 98 and 99. Are the Bull whip shafts similar to the black rock shafts? The one he has is the #2 regular. Pat McGoldrick On Target Golf - Original Message - From: Bernie Baymiller To: [EMAIL

Simple answer to this problem is filling the shaft tip with epoxy during assembly will cause shaft tip breakage when the ball is struck toward the heel or sometimes toward the toe or if the sole is struck on the ground before striking the ball. DON'T FILL THE SHAFT TIP WITH EXCESS EPOXY WHEN ASS

If you want to "soak off" rust try spraying with WD-40 then rub with fine steel wool. Naval Jelly will also work much faster but it is probably overkill.

Pat,   I have a customer looking for a 3 & 5wood to match his Driver, are there such clubs ?   See the GS 1999 catalog, page 69 for Black Rock XLD-3 48" driver head, spec weight 183 grams. The fairway woods were KB II stainless at 14° 3W and 17° 5W. No more KB Black Rock clubs in the 2003 GS
