Building my first clubs
I’m learning how to build golf clubs. Last week, I had a custom hybrid club made, specs were:
- Snake Eyes Quick Strike II Hybrid, 19 degree loft
- True Temper TX-90 Steel Shaft, overall length 40″
- Golf Pride Dual Duometer Midsize Grip
I hit shots with this club 5 yards farther and with better accuracy than my 3-iron, so I decided to learn to build clubs by building two more hybrids, same specs as above, with 23 and 27 degree loft Quick Strike II Hybrid club heads, same shaft but each one 1/2″ shorter than the less lofted club.
I bought a clubmaking kit from Golfsmith and ordered all the parts. Tonight, I cut the shafts to size and abraded the tips. Tomorrow, I will attach the club heads, after I set the right swing weight. The first club swing weight was about C5, I’ll make these about D1.
