When I got interested in golf, I knew I did not want money for a new hobby that I might like to spend. Some of you might be luckier than me and had a great set of clubs, that of a father or an uncle who is to be updated.
I have not been so lucky, but what I decided this was the scout for the pawn shop. I found my first set of clubs for $ 40 including balls and bag. Once on the track, I found the violations were not only ugly, but in realityfell apart in my hands because they were so fragile.
Golf Clubs
The cure is simple, of course, again taking them, I do not know how. So after about an hour tweaking my friend Gene, I'm passing on his re-election pinch method to you so that you feel much better set of big clubs.
The first thing he did was pull out a container with old old the following tools and materials:
* A can of lighter fluid at low cost for the adjustment of the glue ($ 1.80 against $ 5.99 for Golf ShopBrand)
Pipstrips 12 * 14 "Grip Tape (0.39 cents each)
* 1 box cutter, or if you want to spend more, you can now manage to cut up to $ 15
* 1 roll of white (unprinted), paper towels or old t-shirt
* 14 handles of your choice
* Some automotive cleaner / polish or a beautiful automobile-related
* And a vice. If you do not own a truck, if a neighbor has, because it is very practical. You can do without a vice, but not funny.
The first stepWhat you need to do is remove the old handles and that's where the deputy is very useful. Before mounting the body of your club in the vise to protect the tree or wrap tape five or six times, or use an old kitchen towel for protection. As we that are cheap in this example, an alternative but in practice (if you have time and again on the track) of the device, insert a rubber tree that can be purchased at most golf shops. It fits right into the vice and keeps you securly Clubwhile working.
Once your tree to be secured in the vise, use the knife to cut the old handle along the shaft. I have found to resolve handles, easy if you have two sections, one above and one to the ground. Now remove the old handle. Some come out more easily than others. If the old handle is persistent, soaking them with solvent for a few minutes to soften the old glue. Note: Both the grip expensive solvent and the lighter fluid is highly flammable and toxic. No naked flames, and a well-ventilatedSpace is a must. Rubber gloves for protection against chemical solvents.
Once the old grip, clean the tree, with a paper towel and lighters. After all traces of adhesive were removed, you can take the next step ... Install the new handle. Hey, be careful with the razor and do not scratch the shaft.
The first step in installing the new handle is to place the two adhesive strip in handle. This is easy because all you have to do is,Remove the paper protecting the adhesive and wrap it around the tree. Be sure to install long. Install the handle consists of two phases: the first is to remove the piece of protective paper on the handle to the glue and the second stage of new non-slip grip on the tree and alignment reveal.
Align the handle with the club is important. What I recommend is to take the handle and hold it over the shaft and grip and look down the name of the judge or the version with the back (flatArea) of the association. Once you have in mind as a judge on the handle, pour lighter fluid or solvent for the adhesive. Make sure it is saturated on all sides. I put my index finger into the small hole at the wide end and pour an ounce or two solvents in the handle. Move the handle of everything and do your best to cover all areas within the handle. Now slide the grip on your attention to keep in mind.
The neck is slightly up and move during the alignment ... butYou only have about 30-45 seconds before the glue starts setting. Start at the top of the tree and gently press the handle to the end of the club grip to remove air and smooth shaft. If there is any adhesive paper on the left shows, just take your razor cut and cut all the grip and remove the glue for access. Now the final step.
Over time, the protective layer has been dismantled, and can show a little 'rust. Take the Polish and Cleanerimplement the whole tree to remove rust and dirt. After the glaze dries, use a clean cloth and polish. The move will clean your tree and add a protective layer on it.
OK! Repeat 13 times more can be simple, and you are a large number of companies are really proud to own. The only thing you can do want to buy a new bag with your look as new for the club to go.
