Popular Post csamsh Posted August 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Got tired of my driveway markers...made some of my own sticks. Hardwood, stain, spray, and polyurethane. One is a classic helmet color and stripe pattern for the University of Illinois, the other is a St Louis Cardinals sock. I get way more comments on the sticks than any club lol.

cnosil Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Really like the alignment sticks. Looked up the cost for some dowels and thinking about making myself some. If you don't mind sharing, where do you get the endcaps and what is your process to taper the tip?

Endcaps are just 1/4" vacuum caps from Amazon. Nice tight fit over the 5/16" dowel. To taper the tips I just did a few circular-ish passes with an orbital sander to make it easier to slide the cap on. Not really tapered, just somewhat rounded off. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0781LNZKF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also if you're curious....I did two coats of stain, and then the paint sprayed one color a day with 24hr drying time and re-taping before next color. And then three coats spray gloss polyurethane. It was a week-long process and kind of tedious but I was really happy with the end result, especially for my ~$20 investment.

Kansas King Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I see a lot of lead tape on your Maltby hybrid. Did you significantly shorten the shaft or were you just looking for a heavier swing weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finky999 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 @csamsh are those 48” dowels, or 36”.

Finky999 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 In a total rip off of @csamsh I built some alignment sticks out of 5/16" cherry dowel rods. Colors are Syracuse U, Notre Dame and Washington Nationals. By coincidence, I just saw this website for Bubba Whips! Are you kidding me? $99-129 for alignment sticks just because they're made in the USA out of hickory? Plus 3/8" diameter might seem bigger than normal, or maybe not. I'll stick to make-my-own and give away as gifts. FYI, for a great selection of color spray paint, I used Montana Gold. 100+ color shades 5 Quote SW: Cleveland CBX 2 56 degree, 12 bounce GW: Cleveland CBX 2 52 degree, 11 bounce 6 - 9 irons: Callaway RAZR X HL Irons, True Temper M-10 XP steel shaft 5H Callaway RAZR X HL 27 degree, 60 lie, 38.75" length 4H: Taylormade 22 degree, 60.5 Lie 40.25" length 3W Callaway Diablo Octane 15 degree, 56 lie, 43" Taylormade Rocketballz 10.5 degree 46" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csamsh Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Nice @Finky999. That bubbawhip price is a bit ridiculous, it's what inspired my project!
