Clubmaking Tip for May 22, 2007 from Midwest Golf Tuesday, May 22, 2007
Removing Iron Heads from Steel Shafts
Leverage Block and Pro Shaft Clamp
The Pro Shaft Clamp (A.) and the Leverage Block (B.) are used in unison to remove iron heads from steel shafts. No matter how tight the fit between the hosel and the shaft this pair of tools will deliver success every time. When a steel-shafted iron comes in to the shop for shaft removal, I choose between two methods for shaft removal. One is where I lock the head in the vise, heat the hosel and rotate the shaft free by twisting the grip end of the shaft. When I think the iron head will be difficult to remove because of the tight fit between the shaft and head (tapered shafts) I employ the Leverage Block and the Pro Shaft Clamp to do the work of twisting the head free from the shaft.
Remove all vise pads from the vise. Place the center of the three slots of the Pro Shaft Clamp around the iron shaft roughly 2 inches from the top of the hosel. Lock the Pro Shaft Clamp in the vise making sure the teeth of the vise are positioned in line with the shaft. This creates the tightest pressure available and prevents the shaft from slipping when the head is eventually turned. This is one of the keys to making these two tools work. Heat the hosel of the iron with a propane torch for about 15 seconds with a 2-inch flame. Take the Leverage Block and hold the handle with one hand and the tines with the other. Place the iron head between the two tines and twist the head the direction of the face. Using only one hand on the leverage block handle will likely exert side pressure on the shaft and may cause shaft breakage. When used properly the shaft should remain still and only the head should twist. If the shaft twists in the Pro Shaft Clamp tighten the vise by using the Leverage Block on the vise handle. If more heat is necessary, use a 2-inch flame for 6 full seconds. Once the head is loose, grab it with a gloved hand and clean the hosel.

Cleveland Golf Sale from Midwest Golf Monday, May 21, 2007

Taking Distance Driven Geometry® to the Next Level.The Cleveland HiBORE XL driver features a special geometry that moves weight lower and deeper into the clubhead, optimizing the center of gravity (CG) location for ideal launch conditions. For maximum ball speed, the XL has a larger sweet spot compared to traditional large-volume drivers and, paired with the deep CG, its high moment of inertia increases stability on off-center hits. The result? Greater overall distance and tighter shot dispersion over the entire face. |
|

|
|
Because the clubface and hosel are cast as one piece, HiBORE irons have no welding spots, so the sweet spot is the size of the entire clubface. They're also more forgiving, thanks to hollow construction and an oversized face. The hollow design moves weight away from the face and positions it lower and deeper in the head to increase stability (moment of inertia) and accuracy. |
