Posted July 7, 200420 yr This has just been a thought, but why couldn't a guy add tungston powder to the Epoxy being used to add a bit of swing weight, rather than packing the end of a shaft. I realize that not much weight will be added, but 2 grams is 2 grams... Will it bother the epoxy bond any more than adding Epoxy beads to aid in filling??
July 9, 200420 yr Well, if you mean "why not use some tungsten powder instead of epoxy beads during the shafting process?", I think it's because tungsten is harder than epoxy and would create some small impact hole on the shaft during the ball impact causing breakage risk...
July 14, 200420 yr You could do it, but it wouldn't be a very precise way to swingweight the club as you would only get one chance to get the right amoung of Tungsten into the hosel, and unless you premeasured epoxy/tungsten for each club. Plus, you'd have to reshaft to change swingweight. Not very practical.
