As I recall , the hosel insertion depth on those dogs was pretty shallow as well. I have a neighbor who played Lynx up until a year ago. I reshafted a couple of them, and re-epoxied at least one of them. I used JB Weld for the reglue. For the reshafts I just shimmed them with scraped and roughe

An old guy (who else) has some Lynx irons which keep losing their heads and he asked me if there was any way of keeping them on over a long period of time. I pulled the 6-iron to see what the problem could be and immediately saw the steel shaft was unique...actually stepped up 2 steps from a .37

That might work for my first order. Future orders would be one or two at a time, not sure if that is posslble. It would be something simple like etching their initials. John Why not just contract the laser work to someone who's already got the machinery in place? At 12:15 PM 10/28/2010, you wr

Thanks Tom. I've read about some of the newer laser etching machines. The Epilog Zing was something like $8,000, too steep for the numbers I'm looking at doing, but amazing. For Shoptalkers, I did find a do-it-yourself laser project for about a grand. :-) John JOHN VERY tough to do because

JOHN VERY tough to do because the 6/4Ti that many of the head makers use for their driver heads has a very high hardness, in the order of HRC 38 to 42. So engraving machines to do this would have to use special cutting bits which are able to cut into such a high hardness metal. Not all Ti d

I've seen personalized putters with hand stamped initials, is it possible to do this on the sole of a titanium driver head? Some sort of etching process? -- John Muir skype: jhmuir AIM: golfcas...@mac.com 810.923.7396 http://clubmaker-online.com http://gripscience.com clubmaker.mobi golf equ
