Good idea! I also paint the "6" on my 6 iron green, for "go", and the "9" red, for "stop". Do the same for 52 degree (green) and 56 degree (red) wedges. /Ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I use a deep red color on the "9" of the 9 irons I build. Customers really like it because they don't mixup the

RE: ShopTalk: 915 CFE

CB Well. It looks like 360 is the way to go. I tried a 360 and 420 club at the local range. Visually size difference didn't seem to matter.They both looked OK to me. I did move the ball up and also higher then I usually tee it. Hit some nice straight ones but also faded both once in a w

Re: ShopTalk: Removing Clubheads

Go to www.clubmaker-online. Look for plans to make your own puller. Its simple. Then, buy a supply ferrules. They're cheap. Taking the time to try to save one - unless its unique - is a waste.   TFlan   - Original Message - From: Doug Audirsch To: ShopTalk Sent: Sun

RE: ShopTalk: Wishon fairway woods (was Team Dynacraft Fairway woods)

I've not tried the Dynacraft's, but can highly recommend the Wishon 725CrMo or 915cfe fairway woods. The 725's use a high end steel, probably similar to aermet and have that very hot sound/feel, if that is what you are looking for. Dan Neubecker [EMAIL PROTECTED] >-Original Message-

Re: ShopTalk: Team Dynacraft Fairway woods

I've sold a bunch of these, and played them for about 3 months myself before switching to the Louisville Golf Niblick. Both the 3 and the 5 are very easy to hit, off the deck and off the tee, and the three is very long. I've built the 3 as a driver for a couple of customers who did not want any o

RE: ShopTalk: Team Dynacraft Fairway woods

I tried the team dynacraft 3 wood earlier this year. It was more like a driver than a 3 wood. Very hot face, and awesome off the tee. I couldn't hit it off the deck to save my life, and it seemed to have a fade/slice tendency for me. I ended up with the DFS II 3 wood. Not as hot, but very

RE: ShopTalk: Team Dynacraft Fairway woods

Speaking of Dynacraft, has anyone tried the team dynacraft fairway wood? It has the aermet steel face, looks kind of interesting. In the market for a new fairway, so I thought I might try them if anyone on the forum had good things to say about them. Thanks, Brian

RE: ShopTalk: Ferrules

All, Does anyone have a sourse for .410 (taylor made) ferrules. Do any of the big 3 have them - Dynacraft said they didn't, but the lady I had on the phone didn't sound like she was on top of her game. Thanks, Brian

Re: ShopTalk: Removing Ferrules

Arnie, One of the best ideas I have seen in a while for re-seating a ferrule, I normally do not try to save ferrules, the only one I would time I would need to save one, is on an iron from a set. The head is normally broken off & I can heat ferrule and slide off to re-use. George ByGeorge Custom C

RE: ShopTalk: Removing Clubheads

Hi Doug...   Your note reminded me of the first time I tried to pull a head on a graphite shaft.  Didn't know about pullers,  but I had read something about not twisting the head...Ended up with a nice bouquet of graphite fibers, and had to drill out the rest.   For a long time I used the

Thanks for the feedback.  Felt pretty stupid yesterday.  I don't have any type of mechanical puller, but will obviously need to get something.    Doug   - Original Message - From: Dave Tutelman Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 8:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Removing Clu

RE: ShopTalk: Removing Clubheads

I agree with Dave on this one, I have never had any luck saving ferrules on graphite shafts as they don't want to slide. Try boiling water to loosed them up but if that does not work, I soften them up with a heat gun, cut them off and pull the shaft. They are much easier so save on steel shafts as

Re: ShopTalk: Removing Clubheads

The only time I have been able to save ferrules on graphite shafts is when I can heat them with boiling water and slide them up the shaft. I am not successful heating the ferrule alone with a heat gun without deforming it, but boiling water is often enough to loosten the ferrule and let you slide i
