I had my first head fly off.

g*nning4u said: 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.

*zra76 said: 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. :D 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.

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. :D Still though, I can't thank you enough for this great pickup. Back on topic: Use good quality epoxy.

This is why you win and Gunning loses. :D 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. R35

Which makes me think Ezra's knowing my address is a bad bad bad idea. 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. http://www.shottalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

g*nning4u said: I think it was Sling or Eraser that said regular quick set epoxy from a hardware store would work when I asked about it last fall, no worries I needed it shafted asap when I did it. It lasted about 15 rounds and 20 range sessions so it wasn't all that bad. The guy at the golf smith I talked to said the slow set epoxy is the way to go its a lot stronger. On a side note, I will send someone a sleeve of TP reds if they can find me a new .335 Purple Ice 85 x flex for under 50$ shipped. I'm going to try an X flex this time and I cant find one on the bay or the net.

W*-Golfer said: Buy a horseshit Acuity set & you will see heads fly off left & right. Funniest thing I saw last year was a work buddy had a 2 year old Acuity set, we were hitting balls at the range prior to playing when he swings at a ball & the driver head just took off. It landed more than 100 yds away while the ball didn't make it half that distance. He left the head laying in the range as he had a similar issue with his 3w a few weeks earlier. Had to play the rd with nothing bigger than a 5w. He's the one I gave the Adams driver & 3w too earlier this year.

R*ckford35 said: Which weight? R35

g*nning4u said: 85g and the tp reds are better than the proV1x Rock loves:)

I don't think that was me. And if it was, don't you know better than to listen to anything I say?http://www.shottalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

I will let you guess which one doesnt. One also breaks down when heat in the ballpark of 250* in applied to it, one ic closer to 500*. Graphite shafts begin to break down at about 350*. Again you can guess which one is which.
