I had my first head fly off.

[gunning4u]

I was at the range yesterday and pulled out my 3 wood. My first swing didn't go so good It was one of those WTF was that shots. On my next practice swing the head flew off. I have a bunch of epoxy still in the head and thats no problem I can get that out but what is the best way to clean off the shaft tip without wreaking it, I have a bunch of epoxy on it. This 3 Wood was my first graphite shaft install and I used quick set I got at a hardware store not the best stuff. Also I have been leaving my clubs in my trunk and its been in the mid 80's low 90's and it might have caused the epoxy to fail.

This is no where near the same a club epoxy. Club epoxy and only club epoxy, everything else will fail.

Now now now, don't lose your head over this!

As to epoxy in the tip. I've got a sharp little steel tool, not sure what it really is, a punch of some sort. I use that to get epoxy out. If it's really tough I use a drill bit but not in a drill, by hand. Unfortunately if it's way up in there I usually have to cut the grip and drop it out the butt end after breaking it loose.

There is loose epoxy in that FT-i. Douchebag.

Other than that, I still thank you. This thing is incredible, still.

I didn't shaft that one, douchebag. It was a professional job, lol. Gotta love f-ing Golfer's Warehouse... ironically they also shafted up my first flying head... I did the second but that was due to a tip issue in an Epic.

Got gas? Heat the bottom of the club up and smack it into an oven mitt. Rattle cured.

Cured itself, when I had it regripped got it out the top.

Still though, I can't thank you enough for this great pickup.

Back on topic: Use good quality epoxy.

Don't rub it in. You know he's writing your name on a To Kill list shortly before rubbing lipstick all over his face...

I shafted up my own irons, wedges and driver. No flying heads thankfully. I use the epoxy from Golfsmith.

This is why you win and Gunning loses.

No biggie, live and learn.


I'm hearing Oscar talk for Ledger as Joker. I won't see it in the theatre, as I refuse to go anymore, but i am looking forward to it, even if the first movie was 60/40.

Still got it on Paypal... twice even.

Glad you can use it though. I got a few swings with it and it was obvious, too low a launch with too little spin. Goes to show what a shaft swap and 1* loft drop can do. I hit the 9.5* with the 686 a mile high, all carry. Just couldn't control the damn thing, straight my arse, straight into a GD lake.
