Finished. I can clean it up a bit but ugly still works. I epoxied the HE double hockey stick out of it but I think I'll still give it a swing for a while in the garage area as I don't want it to go through the neighbors windows. Now to measure a starting mph point with the Cobra F8 and starting point with the speed... what the heck are we calling this?

Thank you very much for the tips.

Yep and epoxied the hell out of it. was a little worried about them flying off but have had no issues. I just used JB weld so gorilla epoxy should be perfect.

Slow but sure now. I have a new player as of mid last year with the Cobra F8 and that weighs in at 315 grams. My previous TaylorMade Burner Superfast came in at 296 grams. Wow. It felt like the Cobra F8 was heavier but I didn't realize by that much. Hmmmmm. Either way I hit it better so I'll be basing the medium weight on that club.

Are you planning to do the washer route or solid weight?
If you are using washers just get a bolt with that diameter and use one with a big head to hold washers.
Good luck I have been using miss without any issue for the last 3-4 months and it's been flawless.
 

I will be using washers. HD didn't have the threaded rod I needed so I'll check out Menards tomorrow. Picked up some Gorilla epoxy as well as Plasti Dip. Looking forward to getting this going. I'm assuming you used the bolt (screw head) instead of a wingnut and just epoxied everything in?

Ok. Drilled through the opening and I think I've gone through some gunked up glue/epoxy and can easily put the drill bit through a few inches. I now need to find the correct threaded rod.

If I had found a threaded rod which fit in the end of this club, it would only have gone in about an inch. My thought was I need to remove this insert or extension?

54 year old guy with about a 90mph swingspeed. Used to be about 97mph. 5' tall doesn't offer much in the way of long arms for leverage. 

So I've got to get more speed. I removed the 20 year old driver head with a heat gun and took the shaft to HD. None of the threaded rods fit very well so I came back to this thread again. The ferrule remained on the shaft and it looks like there is an insert in the shaft. If I could have fit a threaded rod in the insert it would have only gone in maybe just over an inch. So does this.. what I am calling insert need to be removed via heat or cutting it out?
