Re: Here's what I'm planning to get from Golfsmith...

Thanks much for the long post of advice, Lowpost. I think I'll drop the idea of getting the scale, I never thought that it would be possible to max out on it when measuring clubweight. I'm going to get the swingweight scale, I want something easy that I can just throw the club on when I'm at my basement workbench. You've now made me extremely undecided about a shaft puller. I thought I had decided to get the better GS shaft puller, but looking at JB's site their Jr. Shaft extractor looks very nice (hydraulic, no less!) at a very attractice price. I still plan on getting the ferrule tool, and the grip tape remover.

I've already replaced every 'inexpensive' thing with better gear, because I was tired of the trouble it took to even do a couple clubs.
Okay, I've heard this advice on three different forums now, I think I'd better heed it! I guess I'll skip right to buying the quality tools.

I'm going to add up what I've got planned to get now, and see if I see a chop saw and a compressor in my future.
