They are actually pretty amazing, their firm yet super tacky. And incredibly thick believe it or not.You'll be the first to know. By the way, how do those grips feel?

Did you get the shafts installed with the correct end in the hosel?? The little end goes down and the big end goes up.Also, I think I may really suck at installing golf shafts. When I was putting the grips on the heads made a cracking sound. Nothing crazy or too loud, but there was a little bit of a pop. Hopefully the heads don't go flying off the first time I go play.
Not necessarily. If the head flies off and cold cocks the lady walking up the adjacent fairway..............You'll be the first to know.
Might have to enlist the retired geezers help if that happens. I'm smart enough and humble enough to know when to call in reinforcements.Thanks Limp...that must be the problem!
Honestly, I experimented with the Devcon epoxy and those creaks worry me a bit.
Edit...quick internet search says it might be the ferrules. Time will tell. :/

I've read (on another site) that the DEVCON 2 ton epoxy is a great alternative to typical shafting epoxy. No other reason than trying something different than the norm.I just saw that you used DEVCON epoxy for home use. That stuff is not designed to break down under heat like shafting epoxy and I think it dries a little 'harder' than shafting epoxy. Just curious - why not use shafting epoxy? It's formulated for this kind of job.
Golf shaft epoxy has a much higher shear strength than general purpose epoxy. It isn't as brittle as general purpose epoxy when it cures so it takes the torque of the head hitting the ball better and there's much less of a chance of the epoxy bond cracking. The DEVCON stuff might take a LOT of heat to break down if you ever need to reshaft again.
Way ahead of you Greg!You should be fine, but just in case wear a helmet the first time you swing them.
Go to the driving range and have one of your buddies stand down range to catch the clubheads.
Ha!!! Target practice.Go to the driving range and have one of your buddies stand down range to catch the clubheads.
They'll be fine. Modern epoxy is serious shit.
You always need to wear a helmet though.I'd still wear a helmet.
