  1. One sleeve of new golf balls plus maybe 6-8 experienced golf balls. I know a guy who kept all the found golf balls in his bag and he walk the golf course. Judging from the bulking pockets, he must be carrying more than 3 dozen at any one time.
  2. Including all garbage fees and tax. $45 for the Municipal owned golf courses. $70 for upscale public daily fee golf courses. $100 for the top 10 in our region.
  3. Try WD-40 first before trying other acid based or abrasive agent.
  4. It might be a shaft over hosel design, heat up the end of the saft just above the crown. Make sure you cover the top with wet towel/tissue or cooling gel. It will come loose. Bend the shaft, never the hosel, the short stub of osel will snap.
  5. No method to repair these dents. I would keep using it if it works until the day it quits. Can't claim warranty on damage caused by misuse. I would be surprised if the OEM will replace it or even give partial credit towards a new purchase. Would the auto dealer replace a new car you purchased and ran up a curb just outside the dealership under warranty?
  6. Measure the shaft O.D. There might have been a small discrepancy in the shaft size. A digital caliper is a useful tool in the shop.
  7. HAVE NOT BOUGHT NEW tITLEIST FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. Still going through the boxes I have in stock when I bought bulk to save a few.
  8. $300 + your time and the cost of fuel. I would take that fun trip myself.
  9. A lot of work. either you have to love that particular putter much or someone has to pay enough for the trouble. I'll just slap some lead tape on the head and call it good.
  10. First, make sure the grip I.D. fits the shaft's O.D. The shaft has taper, the more we trim off the butt end the thinner the shaft's O.D. You can try using another layer of masking tape or two, they are thinner than the two sided tape. Or change the tape to another kind with textured surface. Masking tapes has smooth surface which could be roughed up with sand paper to give more friction. And if you use a two parts grip (typically harder material on top and softer material in the lower half of the grip) It will be easier to twist with use. It will probably also twist with double sided tape. Push the grip all the way down make sure the end cap is seated. squeezed the grip in it's entire length to vent out possible small pockets of air so the grip is firmly attached to the shaft. Beyond that, use another type of grip. The best type of grip for air install is the traditional wrap or tour velvet.
  11. It is why we use a nosel with pressure trigger which able to moderate the pressure. Also using a sleeve over the grip to install and remove grips. Always be careful when the grip could not expand uniformly. The ones with a rubber underlisting, or a two parts construction will need extra attention since the parts will expand differently. Use a little solvent if needed to help lubricate the parts when sliding on with air. Very helpful when fitting a smaller grip on. There ar different types of painter's tape the original blue tape works well when the grip I.D. fits snuggly to the shaft's O.D. Of course, if the butt of the shaft is trimmed off the O.D. will get progressively smaller from the taper. No bbig deal to figure it out, hands on. It is not sending a rocket to the moon and back.
  12. Imressive for private project. Refine the method to attach the parts and it could fly commercially. Other consideration is to move the weight around on the design ot to provide a way to move the weight. The only short pont I could see is too many moving parts for longevity.
  13. If it were I. I'd get that guy a lunch or refer him some business in the near future. Understand that he sort-of volunteered to spend the time with you but, you get to experience a lot of the heads and shafts combinations without paying for his time. You would not have been able to do all that without his presence. Typically, they will not allow anyone to try out so many different combinations knowing that no fees were paid and no interest in buying anything. An hour and a half should march you through the whole bag at a normal pace after the initial discussion.
  14. Foam golf balls? Use an old bed sheet. Draw multiple bullseyes on the sheet for target.
