Dremel tool is a creative method to sharpen your grooves, but you run the risk of turning them into non-conforming box grooves.....What is it, a 2 shot penalty per hole that you have an illegal club in your bag?

I think you can actually send your club head to golfsmitha and they can cnc cut new grooves into the club for you

About the .58 vs. .60 grip size.... A .58 grip will result in a larger grip size than a .60 because the inside diameter of the grip is smaller, thus making the walls of the grip thicker and when you stretch it over the shaft, it will be bigger. The .60 grip is intended to give you a standard size on a .60 shaft and a .58 grip is intended to give you a standard size on a .58 shaft. I believe true temper shafts are .60 at the butt end and Hogan and PING shafts are .58, but that might not be true anymore, I have been out of the golf business for a few years.

-.60 grips will give you standard size..... .58 grips will give you same as having one extra wrap of tape (slightly larger). -Do not wrap tape like a hockey stick or it will build up too much and your grips will be too big. If you want to build up the size of the grips (if you have big hands), use masking tape under the double sided tape to build up the girth. -If you buy 2 inch tape, you cut one strip of tape that is slightly shorter than the length of the grip and apply it to the front of the shaft so it is centered. It may overlap slightly near the bottom of the grip on the back as the shaft narrows. -If you buy 1 inch tape you would normally cut a strip of tape that is slightly less than twice the length of the grip and apply it centered up the front of the shaft, wrap it over the butt of the shaft, and back down the back of the shaft. Try to center the tape from front to back. -I have tried both water and paint thinner activated double sided tape, and have found that the water activated tape works just as well. Plus it's easier to clean and you don't have to keep flammable paint thinner in the house. You still might need paint thinner on a towel to effectively clean the old tape and goo off your shafts when stripping the old grips. -Put your club in a vice using a rubber holder around the shaft that you can get from Golfsmith (to protect the shaft.) With Graphite be sure not to tighten the vice too much or you will break the shaft. Line up the club toe up in the vice. -I have also seen regrips done without a vice, by holding the club in one hand and slipping the grip on with the other, but you have to have extremely strong hands and forearms to do this and it helps to have about 10 years of experience too. I wouldn't recommend for the weekend repairman. -Squirt your solvent (water or paint thinner) on the tape after removing the backing of the double sided tape. Put a container under to catch the drips. Cover the hole on the end of the grip with your thumb and squirt some solvent in the grip. Cover the opening of the grip and shake up the grip and get all of the inside covered in solvent. Pour the solvent out over the taped shaft. -Find the top of the grip, line it up down the shaft from behind and slip it on firmly with both hands. If you need to make small adjustments you have about a minute to do so. I personally take the club out of the vice at this point, tap the grip end against the floor to make sure it is on all the way and hold it in my stance and adjust the grip to make sure it is straight. -Then lean the club upside down against the wall and let it dry. They are usually good to go in an hour. How's that? Am I forgetting anything?

I just stumbled across this site... www.customclubcoatings.com The price he charges appears quite reasonable, and the results look pretty sweet! Anyone have any experience with this service?

I tried to sandblast a chrome Cleveland wedge and it was a disaster! It took away the grooves! Depending on the club, the grooves are stamped into the final, chromed head, so if you lose the chrome, you lose the grooves! Take my advice, don't do anything to your club and buy an RTG.

Hi guys Are the Titleist K and Steelhead plus heads both .335? I am ordering Harrison Striper Tour 70 for the driver and 80 for the fairways... Any thoughts / opinions / experience? Any Idea how to adjust the swingweight on these bore-through heads? I understand the epoxy-filled hole at the bottom of the club has something to do with Swing-weighting. thanks Red.
