golftmgolf Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Will someone please help? I would like to play with the length and weight a little, so i am curious about shaft tip and the easiest way to remove the old. Oh and is there a way to adjust loft and lie with out machine? Again its a Hogan BHB9. Thanks tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrazygolfer Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Are you looking to cut or add to the shaft? Are you looking to add weight to the head? The BHB9 is 336 grams and you can add weight to it by adding soft lead putty (Home Depot, etc.) to the bee hives.

The current shaft has a brand new grip which would be just short of impossible to get off. Also to get to 32 I fill it is best to try and trim the tip. Then tungsten powder down the shaft and a carriage bolt in the butt. How much weight could you add with the putty in the hive? I would like the head close to 380 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like the head close to 380 Unlike the SC Futura which has a pin in it, there is no pin in the baby bee so removing the shaft with the heat gun at low temp is not a problem. I done it to a proto bee center shaft before. The problem lies with trimming from 34 to 32, the tip may be too big to fit into the hole. 380 minus 336 is 44 grams. Here is the good part, the BHB9 is going for cheap, as low as $50, so if you run into problem it is a cheap experiment. Any good club repair guy can get the grip off in 2 seconds with a needle and a compressor to save the grip. You can also use the blade type grip removal from golfsmith.
