Learning how to build golf clubs a little bit tough to do at
first, but with some time and effort it will save you money, allow you to
customize your clubs and gives you a great deal of satisfaction.
Just make sure that you follow all of the steps the first
time around, and then you can experiment once you get more confident in how to
build golf clubs.
How to Build Golf Clubs Step 1 – Find a catalogue that has
shafts, grips, heads and adhesives in order to determine what combinations you
like. Make sure you research your items and work within your budget.
Step-by-step instructions generally come with the purchased product.
How to Build Golf Clubs Step 2 - Trim the shaft. You will need a true measure rule, which
costs approximately $25, in order to measure the cut accurately. Mark the spot
where the trim will go with a felt-tip pen so you know where the cut needs to
be made.
How to Build Golf Clubs Step 3 – Cut the shaft using a shaft
cutter or a hacksaw. If you are using a metal shaft, you are better off using a
shaft cutter, which can be found anywhere golf supplies are sold for about $10.
After cutting the shaft, remove any masking tape before
continuing with the next step. This
portion of how to build golf clubs is the most difficult and most important.
How to Build Golf Clubs Step 4 - The shaft of the club is a
smooth surface and in order for it to fit and properly adhere to the club, you
will need to rough the edge. This is
done by sanding the paint and finish using medium grade sandpaper. Apply the adhesive. Make sure you follow the
adhesive instructions to make sure mix amount is correct.
How to Build Golf Clubs Step 5 – Time for you to apply the
grip. Once the adhesive is completely dry you can measure the club for the
final fitting. Mark the butt end of the shaft in the same manner used for the
club head and trim it using the same tools. Prepare the shaft with tape then
add the solvent that came with the grip before sliding on the grip
carefully. Ensure the grip is on
straight then attach the butt cap. Now
all that is left is drying time and you will be able to use your new club.
How to Build Golf Clubs Step 6 – Stand up and take a bow.
Feel good about yourself. You have successfully built your own golf clubs.
Experiment with different combinations of tools and
materials to get the club that fits you and your golfing style the best. Just
make sure that you always have fun with it!
