Hot Melt DIY

After all the great insight of the benefits of hot melt from the other thread I decided to take things into my own hands. It was a rainy day and I had some time so I started doing some research on how I could save some money but still get the same results. I signed into my wife's Pinterest account, and after weeding through random recipes, princess crap for my daughter's birthday parties, really cool shite you could build with a pallet, and DIY vibrators, I stumbled upon how to hot melt your own clubs.

I've been struggling to hit fairways on some of the shorter par 4s so I decided to hot melt my old 4 iron into a driving iron. I've also been trying to hit a draw with my driver but leaving it out right at times, so I hot melted a draw bias on my driver, while also muting the sound a touch for an overall better feel and experience. I took at least 12 RPMs of spin off the driver according to my laser eye. Results are below.

Here are the tools I had to work with

Make sure to be precise when melting. Even a fraction of an ounce of glue in the wrong spot will ruin the whole project

I was pretty happy with how it turned out

Here it is at address


Now for the driver. I wanted to add some weight toward the heel to create a draw bias. Once again, precision with the glue is key.



One of the benefits of hot melting is changing the sound and feel of the club


I couldn't be happier with the results. I took them to the driving range after and the results speak for themselves.
