I build a half set of irons using the 4,6,8 and PW. Also show how to prep and install .370 parallel tip iron shafts. Components include Takomo 101T iron heads, BB&F ferrules, Fujikura Pro Graphite shafts, and PURE grips.

Apparently first.
Appreciate your build videos!
I've used a lot of your videos over the past 2 years, i'm now pretty much building all my own clubs, the hard part is buying the parts to build them.

I have tinkered with a half set this past year. I don’t get why companies make iron lofts with only 3 degrees gap at the long end of the bag. I’m 60, and swing my 6 iron right around 80 mph. I think 7 or 8 degrees between irons is a good gapping. I had driver, 7 wood, 4 hybrid, 5, 7, 9 iron, gap and sand wedge, putter. 👍🏼⛳️🏌🏽♂️
I couldn’t tell do you use epoxy on the tip weight or just set it in place without any epoxy?
AJ what driver shaft would you recommend for a senior golfer club head speed less than 80 mph?
Sorry foe being off topic, but one last question regarding your videos (really good) of alternative shafts to AutoFlex…In terms of distance, what do you think about this…Either buying the new Ping LST 430…Or, putting the Fujikura Motore X in my current Ping 410 Plus? In case of the last one…Do you think it would be a good fit for me (155-157 Ball Speed and 104-106 MPH Swing Speed)…And, one last thing…Should I remove the weight in the driver head? I guess Ping-heads are pretty heavy for a regular shaft? Hope you have the time to reply, thanks again!
Just curious: you’ve got Takomo 201s with steel shafts in your bag, but chose 101Ts with graphite for this half set…looking for more speed, distance, or just a different feel? Good job, as usual.
Where do you buy heads from?
Oh my god, all this time I could never figure out the difference between how the two different tip dimensions are prepped. This makes so much sense, now. Are parallel tip shafts more popular? You'd think they'd be much MUCH cheaper to manufacture, for obvious reasons.
Great stuff! I would love to see you build or modify a used set for a youth or teen player.
You may have mentioned it but taper tip shafts when cut to length should be the around the same weight but with parallel the longer the shaft the heavier it will be.
