Thanks for the tip on pulling shafts in Pings during the Memorial Day WIYD. I was worried about the multiple minutes of heat I applied and the hosel discoloration. You made me feel a lot better and that it was normal for Pings. I used a bit of Barkeepers Friend to get rid of the discoloration.
@@bobking7311 Used a small butane torch. No heat gun. Still took maybe 2 minutes per head if I remember. It's been a while. Those Ping iron heads are tough! I couldn't tell you about woods though. That may be different. Best to ask Jim.
@@nickjohnson8246 Thanks. I've gone well beyond 2 minutes per head using a small butane torch like Jim's without success, but your comment about not worrying about the discoloration gives me hope. As for asking Jim, what's the best way to do that?
@@bobking7311 email him or on Monday's at 4 he does that live Q&A called what's in my drawers. That's where I asked about ping jrons being hard to do. Yeah it may have been like 5 minutes an iron. It was ridiculous. Their epoxy ain't no joke. They do weird stuff. I have an Eye2 Gorge wedge that's .355 hotel with a .370 shaft hammered into it. That's how they made it.
Awesome content. Funny thing is that your hand strength is off the charts. Question: would you pull heads that way Everytime? Would you use a puller more often? Cheers.
Hey Jim & guys 👋 I just pulled an 8 iron shaft. There's a plastic orange bead or something that's stuck in the bottom? Do i need to bore it out? Leave it? Replace it? I'm changing from a 95 to 115g shaft.Thanks
Nice work thank you. I'm having trouble removing the shaft from a 1963 TP Mills putter. I heated up the hosel over my stove for a good while and couldn't get it to budge. Any other ideas?
OK< my frustration is building quickly. I'm also trying to remove a shaft from a set of DCIs (Gold) and no matter how hard I try to heat the hosel it just won't break loose. I'm using a similar butane torch to yours, and have heated the hosel for as long as 4-5 minutes while rotating, and it STILL won't break loose. Should I just try longer until the epoxy finally gives, or what's the problem?
How about an old set of paying g5s that I used to have back in the day and now I am 80 so I bought them off eBay and there's no distance even though I hit the ball solid. Is it worth the effort to change all the lies stronger? They are going very high and short. The five iron is a 27° standard lie with the ping soft regular shafts. I sent you a lot of questions but never receive answers. I am also never able to locate merchandise that you say are just below the video and I can't find them.
@@McGolf thanks im trying to change to graphite shafts in my Miuras but for some reason i can only get about 1/2 inch of the shaft to go in? is this normal for graphite. im positive they are .355 tapered as i ordered them online from golfworks. even the .355 Ferrell is extremely tight on these.
@@dansapp6619 Did you sand off the paint? On graphite shafts, you have to sand down the tip just a little. Most of the time, I've only had to remove the outside paint. I did notice the Aldila NV Black iron shafts took a little bit more material removed to get it to fit in the hosel.
@@dansapp6619 Here's Golfwork's video on it. They do tip prep at 2:10. I'm sure Jim has videos on it as well if you dig around. But I got lazy myself and found the Golfwork's video first. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UzcZpmWcdOI.html
