7fa Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Has anyone out there done the epoxy fill on the sole of a 2-ball Odyssey?? I have a DFX blade that I'd like to try it on. Looking for tips on how to do it without making a huge mess and I'd like to try to match the matte black color of the insert if possible. What type of epoxy works best?? How much tungsten to add to the epoxy?? Best way to do the fill (tape off sole??????) Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharmd Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I did a white hot 2-ball at the beginning of the summer: Weighed two equal tungsten powders and mixed small amt std 24 hr black cure epoxy in equal portions to tungsten (use 2- 1 oz plastic med cups). For the procedure i decided to use only enough epoxy to slightly wet the powder. Placed putter in vise to set-up 1st cavity-level and partitioned the cavity down the center w strip of rubber adhesive weather stripping- pored tungs-epoxy mix in outside portion of cavity- and let sit till it was tacky. Next step was to remove the weather stripping and mix plain epoxy and pour over entire cavity till epoxy flowed over but below cavity edge, also covered initial epoxy-tungs mix. After this was dry I repeated the process with other cavity. The double pour resulted in a much smoother final finish on surface, and goal of enhancing perimeter weighting + increase in overall weight. The putter is much easier to maintain smooth putting stroke and also shortens stroke to reduce hitches. The last improvement came with 10gm weighting in shaft butt- improved distance control and really balanced overall feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
