Regardless the price....

If you want a driver headweight increased by hotmelt, pay it!      [sm_oops]That is all.

I want to know.

Between heat gun, micro-torch, and hot glue gun;  your gonna end up with glue all over your hands (gloves if you're smart, which I ain't) which is hot as 3 kinds of sulphurous hell and takes skin when you peel it off.  Keeping the head hot enough to keep the glue liquid, but not so hot as to cause it to bubble out is a VERY *goshdarn* fine line.  Keeping the head in the position where you want the glue to settle and harden is also a *goshdarn* bitch!

I decided that beer wasn't enough after that! Mr. Beam and I are getting re-aqquainted as I type.  Very well re-aqqainted.

After all of that, I don't have any .335 ferrules.  *feces* for brains *one who performs fellatio*!  I've got 3 or 4 dozen .370 but not a single goddamn .335 anywhere.  Mother *goshdarn* bull*feces*!

And I've still gotta figure a way to get the excess *goshdarn* glue off the goddamn *goshdarn* clubhead without removing any paint!  *feces* stinking *goshdarn* *charmin* of a *fudge*ed up day.  And before assless chap wearing while crouching, reach around, touchy feely Clive says it, I'll HTFU tommorrow.  While getting over a montrous hangover.  [vent off/]

ROFL

lead tape FTW!

LMAO with the censor on!

I've wanted to do a thread to test how well Dys done.

LOL  5/18 hit rate on the word censor in one post!

When your clubmaking prowess rivals stroh's, you know you've hit rock bottom.  Then again, when YOU use glue, at least it actually makes things sticky.



How much weight you looking to add with that there hotmelt, big boy?

[PaunchyBald]

 [sm_coffee]Well Clive, I was wanting to add 23 grams of hotmelt to make the head weigh the same as my 5w.  I managed to get 18.  Once I make the trip to Golf Galaxy for ferrules, I'll go ahead and shaft it up with a Balistik at around 43.25 inches and see how it shakes out.

Really long strips of lead tape.

I'm trying to remember the amount of weight where the placement makes an appreciable difference to flight.  Not sure of it matters yet for 23g.

Could you just make an epoxy/lead powder slurry and use that instead?  Even with 5-minute, it still seems like less hassle than hotmelt.

I'm trying ot match a headweight that I hit really well, not really attempting to affect ballflight.  Although, that would be a plus.  The difficult part is not in where the glue settles, it is in  getting the glue down the hosel.  And epoxy slurry would be much the same.  Really, it is just a PITA.  That, and I didn't think it all the way through before I started.  Between the hotmelt and the tip-weight, I'll be within 3 grams (over) of my target weight.

If this works with any measured level of sucess, I've another project in mind.
