| Re: Make A Putter!? Well, you'll need a vise (and a bench to mount it to). You'll also need a shaft clamp to protect your shaft from your vise.
Now then, for your putter, you'll need the following components:
Grip
Putter head
Shaft
To attach these pieces together, you'll need:
Golf Club Epoxy - this is the glue that holds the shaft in the head. Please buy golf club epoxy - regular epoxies don't have the shear resistance to keep heads on shafts (not that you'll be swinging that hard with a putter, but you might want to build other things).
Sandpaper - some coarse grit, and some really fine grit. I like to prep my shaft with a couple passes of coarse grit, then finish up with fine grit.
Rubbing Alcohol - to clean the prepped shaft and hosel.
Grip tape - to hold your grip on. This comes in two types - solvent activated and water activated. If you buy the solvent activated tape, you'll need to buy some grip solvent.
Acetone - to clean up any epoxy mess.
Oh - go to your local plumbing shop and buy a pipe cutter (aka tubing cutter). This will allow you to cut your shaft. Conversely, you could buy a hacksaw.
Golfworks.com sells kits that have pretty much everything you need (epoxy, grip, shaft, tape). You'll still need a vise and cutting device. |
