Standard or Custom Golf Club Build and Assembly InstructionsWhen it comes to doing your first custom golf club build, you might be surprised to learn that the basic procedure for golf club assembly is quite simple. The tools and supplies needed are fairly basic and inexpensive, and it doesn't even take very much time. I did my first custom golf club build in less than half and hour. Once you have learned the process, you should be able to build an entire set in about an hour.
The basic process for golf club building is outlined below. Each step
links to a new page to expand on that topic. I will walk you through
the entire process using a #5 iron as an example.
1- OrganizationThe first step in a custom golf club build is to get organized. You need to have all of your components purchased and in hand before getting started.
There are also a few basic tools and supplies that you will need as
well. These are relatively inexpensive and the tools are a one time
purchase.
2- Head PreparationAlthough most heads these days come ready to assemble, it is a good practice to inspect them to make sure you will get a good bond with the shaft, and that you will end up with a pleasant appearance with the ferrule.3- Shaft Tip TrimmingThe club you are building will determine the shaft length which will determine how much you need to trim off the tip of the shaft. You will need to consult a chart provided in the catalog for your particular shaft, and trim off the amount stated in the chart.4- Shaft Tip PreparationYou will need to abrade the shaft tip in order to get a good bond between the shaft, epoxy, and head.5- EpoxyNow is the time to mix the high impact epoxy (if you're using a graphite shaft you need to make sure that you have graphite shafting epoxy).6- Ferrule InstallationAlthough, the ferrule has no impact on the performance of the club, it does sort of make or break the look of the club. If not done properly, your golf club assembly will not appear professional.7- Head & Shaft AssemblyYou need to make sure that the shaft is fully seated in the head. There are a couple of different ways to do this.8- Ferrule FinishingAgain, this is purely a cosmetic step in the process. But it will separate you from the rest of the pack if it is done properly.9- Trim to LengthYou will need to consult a club length chart to determine how long your club should be.10- Grip InstallationThe final step in your custom golf club build. Installing grips is really easy, but you do want to be careful to get the alignment right.Finished!! You have just built YOUR own custom golf club!!I hope you have had a great golf club building experience!
