Chuck, the .277 and .294 tip shafts are all basically gone. If you wanted (I vote for the paper weight idea) the heads could be bored out to .335” and then they would fit most wood shafts made today. The problem with playing real wood clubs today is that you give way too much up regarding modern day technology which results in much higher playability. At the GolfWorks, we made persimmon and laminated woods from 1978 to 1997.

As a part time club builder I sometimes get heads given to me. I recently got 9 OLD wooden heads given to me. Some of them are persimmon & some are laminated. They are the Golf Works Customs. I know that the shafts are no longer available. 277 shaft. I was wondering if I could drill out the heads for reshafting or just make paperweight out of them. It looks like they are from the 1960”s or 1970’s. Any help would be greatfull. Yhanks

Roger, most cast clubs can be bent 2 degree in any direction (loft and lie) with no problem. Some, such as 17-4 castings are harder to bend but they still bend OK. No heat is required. There are a number of hosel bending machines on the market ranging greatly in price and features. Check out golfworks.com for models to look at.

how do you bend a cast club, carefully or do you heat it?
