BB&F Co? I do the same with my irons and wedges. Here’s my last set

These are the Mizunos I had. Did the hammer effect on the muscle back as well and new paint fill. Haven’t built my new Titleist irons with new ferrules yet
https://preview.redd.it/qyt3r6984bec1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a0d81481ca9e250a480220fa2214c4e453ade07
I had the head off the clubs, put double side tape on the face and used the peen side of a small ball peen hammer to hit the area you want with that effect. That’s not the best pic but it comes out really cool. You could probably do it with the heads on on the edge of a work bench or something, I just happened to have the clubs apart
As an FYI. KBS does custom shaft labels. I think it was like $15 shipped for 10. They look pretty sick. They make them in short labels for stepped shafts as well
https://preview.redd.it/ms2j0f8l9bec1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db15ff38385be11df1b7af71bf3cb23fe6faab69
I replaced my ferrules on my current set. They look fantastic but I will never do it again as it’s too time consuming getting all the old epoxy out of the heads.
Personally not a fan but you do you.
To me, it looks cheap, like a kids set of golf clubs. I don’t think it’s the color, it’s the size. If the ferrules were the same color but a normal size, they would look less like megablocks and more like a splash of stylistic color on one’s clubs.
All valid points, I have iron sets that are classy, simple, boring. Don’t have any colorful in your face stuff. Grips are plain Jane ect. Plus I’ve always been the type to do what ever suits my impulse at the moment. This scores me a few things, learned how to do it, gave me something to do for an hour to zone out after work and for me a fun pop of color on some irons I wasn’t using.
I completely understand that there will be a pretty solid division of Love it vs hate it folks.
I hope it improves your game or your enjoyment of it then. If this helps you forget about a shitty day at work, have at it and own it. Hell, go bigger. Chew up more time. Make the ferrule extend all the way to your grip and stare the nay sayers in the face while you swing away and pure it down the fairway.
Bro they look good. A lot better than the standard black ferrules.
Here are mine
https://preview.redd.it/xj406ifv8bec1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31c60f6253974c1729625d42a45eb6b833acd277
I’ve always been more into the Club Smithing side, these will sell to that certain someone one day when I get rid of them. Win win for me, experience and eventual recoup the money.
Absolutely my man. It doesn’t look bad by any means and gives them character. I was just busting your balls because I am lazy and would not do this as I don’t see any added benefit. I wish you the best of luck with this endeavor.
https://preview.redd.it/l8a9e7rlsaec1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6e3b8794cd84d332db83083c52a4322b5d46a5e
I think they will look awesome sticking up out of the bag. Definitely won’t be boring
Personally not a fan, but yep good work on the DIY effort knowing you can chop and change or totally redo if don't like the results, and knowing you don't need specific special 'golf glue epoxy ' for ferrules/ heads. As long as the 2part epoxy has the torque strength any brand will do 👍👍
https://preview.redd.it/de69wgwi2bec1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6cfe0f3ae68d182a952fbb2b672b4f47a457353
Thought about adding these for the fun of it.
Can’t lose or gain strokes if I never play. I mostly build/repair/sell sets and hit the range on occasional lunch. I need to play more but don’t have the time during the day time most days.
I watched a few of the “mobile club maker” YouTube videos. Wasn’t too bad, the sanding after epoxy was the most important step. I made a few mistakes on the first one, but learned a shit load. All in all not to bad with some simple tools.
Did you reweigh and balance the clubs? I watched a video that showed changing the tip weights out. Have the ferrules sitting at home but not sure about that step
Looks awesome. Unfortunately I didn’t get an option on ferrules when I got my irons reshafted 3 weeks ago. So I’m just going to try the ferrule wraps in a green black white combo.
It will not. They are almost purely cosmetic.
Only issue would be someone not correctly attaching the heads to the shaft afterwards, but that’s an entirely different issue.
So, Change ‘em up! Add some color to your swing!
Hey mate, new ferrules looking sharp! I’ve just ordered some from bb&fco just waiting on delivery.
I had a quote from a couple local fitting stores to just do the ferrules change for me and I’ve been quoted £20 per club and another at £130 so at those sorts of prices I’m probably going to have a go myself. Have watched a few YouTube videos on how to do it and seems fairly simple but would be great if you could share your learnings as watch outs for when I do it?
Thanks
Did you use a belt sander? Trying to figure out if I need to get a Harbor Freight one for $50 for the occasional reshafts that I do, and I have a set of shafts that I may rebuild with some Takomo or Malibu heads and BBFs as a project.
https://preview.redd.it/7g2qu9jfrfec1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b6e5574774ece4441cf5e63e503b3f380746194
It's a good skill to have, particularly if you are "off" for a few months a year.
Thanks. Traditionally I have a kaleidoscopic Easter egg fit happening so this colorway works nicely for me. I do a fair amount of builds for friends and members, if you're going to get in to building may as well have some fun with it.
The color isn’t my cup of tea but I love that you did it. I feel like a new hobby has just been unlocked and I’ll go much deeper than I need to into this rabbit hole.
Just seen yours so got a pack of these. Went with the black and pink. UK here 🔥
https://preview.redd.it/z2ompxcz0gec1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc355714321ab879eebb7b6fd23d2ace3596dce7
Love them! All things customized are sick! I just copper plated my PXG irons with black and green shafts and “acme” BB&F 1.5” ferrules…should be finished tomorrow!
These are cool OP!! Living in the Northeast there's always a break in the golf season, projects like this help some of us make it thru the winter. Currently refurbing a rusty SC Big Sur broomstick putter myself.
I think u/bnunyabiz has EXCELLENT taste in the details of this game.

Can’t forget to pimp the ferrules.
So just so I understand, this is just an aesthetics thing right? Which is wayyy more than enough reason for me to wanna do it btw lol. Those things are sick
Make sure your color ensemble doesn’t clash with your jogger/ leotards and Nike Pimp shoes. If those critical points are checked off. Your fellow golf partners will know your a player to be reconded with as you sip your Latta with extra Coco sweetener and free range Emu milk.
They are made by SwingRight and sold on Etsy/EBay. Sure are. Had a customer bring me a set this month. Opened them up and the smelled like straight acetone.
When putting the second one on, the top 1/3 popped off, and he came over to the shop. Laughed, and said throw on the Menthe by BB&F.
I like everything about it. Except the color 🤷🏻♂️
Word, thanks.
To each his own, look pretty dope
Agreed. I’m a fan of this.
As a Dolphins fan I think they’re perfect
You don’t like red white and blue?
I see orange white and teal.
BB&F Co? I do the same with my irons and wedges. Here’s my last set https://preview.redd.it/5bokvyoz1bec1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13639dcdbdf203f0382e7fd85f554dea44b45bd3
Fuck ya, love the green/black combo!
These are the Mizunos I had. Did the hammer effect on the muscle back as well and new paint fill. Haven’t built my new Titleist irons with new ferrules yet https://preview.redd.it/qyt3r6984bec1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a0d81481ca9e250a480220fa2214c4e453ade07
That hammer effect is really cool. How did you do it!?
You just repeatedly whack it with a round hammer
Recommend ball ping hammer. Make them mor circular. Even better if you have dome punches
I had the head off the clubs, put double side tape on the face and used the peen side of a small ball peen hammer to hit the area you want with that effect. That’s not the best pic but it comes out really cool. You could probably do it with the heads on on the edge of a work bench or something, I just happened to have the clubs apart
Interesting choice on the hammer effect, didn’t know that was a thing but I’m down with it!
As an FYI. KBS does custom shaft labels. I think it was like $15 shipped for 10. They look pretty sick. They make them in short labels for stepped shafts as well https://preview.redd.it/ms2j0f8l9bec1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db15ff38385be11df1b7af71bf3cb23fe6faab69
Hot damn, that’s good to know. Thanks
Holi fook more people need to know this.
Thanks for sharing this. I like this idea!
They sure do, the pink ones come with the rainbow shafts.
Follow Anthony Taranto on Instagram. He’s Callaway’s wedge guy. He’s who I learned that from. Actually really responsive too with questions I’ve had
Yeah, I have a set of two of pretty beat up forged irons and I might do it! Then it might just look intentional and not banged about
What brand ferrules? They look beautiful and I have the same color golf pride grips. Great combo!
They are BB&F co. I think they’re one of their fairly standard colors
That’s sick
Are those custom golf prides?
Nope, just MCC Teams grips
I really like the one on the right
![gif](giphy|lKW0ttDQ9QqjMaAGQp|downsized)
Tasteful
I can tell you're a good player. lol Let me guess, your favorite tees are the plain white tee.
I am old school and boring. I prefer black. Black ferrules. Black bag. Black tees too.
![gif](giphy|DQ9bqFm7hBTJS)
Great color reminds me of old school OP shirts
Thanks, I like the pop they have
ahhh ocean pacific. i used to play golf in my OP regalia back in the day.
OP is the best clothing brand of all time. I miss those clothes and those times….
Colour combo is not to my taste but as long as you enjoy them that’s all that matters
Anything that makes your clubs unique to you and has you feel good out on the course is a good thing.
I had them RAC clubs loved them
Agree!
People here are wild. The teal/orange furrules are awesome! Not everything has to be boring black. If you like them don’t let the frumps dissuade you
Word, trust me when I say I’m 100% immune to other folks hate, if they like them cool, if not it’s whatever.
As others said, you do you. I’m too lazy to do this
Word lol
I replaced my ferrules on my current set. They look fantastic but I will never do it again as it’s too time consuming getting all the old epoxy out of the heads.
Keep it buddy love it!!
I think colored ferrules look awful
BB&F are the shit
Love mine from them https://preview.redd.it/nwiwpzsmcbec1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1cf58aba95668e07afdab1c73799d92e83fec92

Those look good. Long ferrules look weird to me.
Thanks, I figured they would fall into one of two categories to Reddit golf. Love it, can’t stand it. lol
Those colors look great
Love it. Vibing
That’s retro ugly … I love it !
This is just about as bad as wearing Crocs...but there's a market for everything! If you like it, doesn't matter what anyone thinks!
I think you are bored. It doesn’t look better or worse. It just seems insignificant.
100%
And that is a totally acceptable response… that I did not expect to get. Looks good and if you like it then rock on.
I’ve always been more into the Club Smithing side, these will sell to that certain someone one day when I get rid of them. Win win for me, experience and eventual recoup the money.
Absolutely my man. It doesn’t look bad by any means and gives them character. I was just busting your balls because I am lazy and would not do this as I don’t see any added benefit. I wish you the best of luck with this endeavor.
Hate it
Ugly as fuck, but they are **your** clubs, and if you like them then I hope they bring you joy.
It's heinous, but if it makes you happy that's all that matters
https://preview.redd.it/l8a9e7rlsaec1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6e3b8794cd84d332db83083c52a4322b5d46a5e I think they will look awesome sticking up out of the bag. Definitely won’t be boring
Definitely not as boring as your game
Very boring, I only wear black suits to the range… white on the course. Never speak or make eye contact
Gulf vibes
Oh shit, you’re totally right!
Absolutely love it. Wish I was brave enough to do it to my irons.
It’s pretty straight forward, at the worst your out some epoxy, $40-50 and a few hours. None of it is permanent if you don’t like the results.
Interesting, you have to remove your heads right, that's only worrysome thing. I'll look into it thanks.
Yes, heads have to come off. But it’s not as bad as you think. $20 butane torch and some 2 part epoxy and a few tools. Pretty hard to fuck up.
100%. It’s more intimidating than a regrip but not any more complicated. Hell. Doing good looking paintfill has a steeper learning curve
Personally not a fan, but yep good work on the DIY effort knowing you can chop and change or totally redo if don't like the results, and knowing you don't need specific special 'golf glue epoxy ' for ferrules/ heads. As long as the 2part epoxy has the torque strength any brand will do 👍👍
it's so easy a caveman could do it tbh
Looks good! Would really stand out with grips that match
https://preview.redd.it/de69wgwi2bec1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6cfe0f3ae68d182a952fbb2b672b4f47a457353 Thought about adding these for the fun of it.
Probably going to take strokes off your game.
Can’t lose or gain strokes if I never play. I mostly build/repair/sell sets and hit the range on occasional lunch. I need to play more but don’t have the time during the day time most days.
Oversize model.
[удалено]
For being 21 years old they really look and play nice. Definitely wouldn’t believe their age if I hadn’t seen them back then new
What’s the process like? You simply head and remove the old ones? I have a bag of em and just haven’t done it yet.
I watched a few of the “mobile club maker” YouTube videos. Wasn’t too bad, the sanding after epoxy was the most important step. I made a few mistakes on the first one, but learned a shit load. All in all not to bad with some simple tools.
Did you reweigh and balance the clubs? I watched a video that showed changing the tip weights out. Have the ferrules sitting at home but not sure about that step
No, gram for gram the new verses old are nearly identical. Not enough weight change to feel, or matter.
Thanks
Looks fun, have a set of RAC’s myself and love them for being “old” clubs. Something yellow and red would look cool with the colors of the RAC logo.
RAC irons?
Nice! A little Miami Dolphins homage??
No, but definitely could see that.
Nice. Makes me miss my RAC irons.
That’s sick. Don’t listen to the haters
Dude-sy mugs?
Dope on dope all time great clubs.
Would distract me but congratulations on learning the process and doing it yourself.
Dolphins colors
Not a fan but hey, you do you!
They’re worth more than the irons. They are great irons though.
A little too distracting for me personally
Fuck no. But you do you my man.
So, what pray tell did you learn??
Better means and methods, so next time I do it, I do it better. Quality over quantity
So, slow down and get this one done right, the work on the next one. Always a good idea.
Looks awesome. Unfortunately I didn’t get an option on ferrules when I got my irons reshafted 3 weeks ago. So I’m just going to try the ferrule wraps in a green black white combo.
Love me some Rac irons
Idea is great, colour wouldn’t be my choice but you do you
I want to do this to my 2023 P790’s but I’m scared it’ll affect performance.
It will not. They are almost purely cosmetic. Only issue would be someone not correctly attaching the heads to the shaft afterwards, but that’s an entirely different issue. So, Change ‘em up! Add some color to your swing!
Depends entirely on the gribs my man
https://preview.redd.it/16plyplwwdec1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=035fb81da6c01ff83fc7412a8550a379a979f968 I’m thinking these
Hey mate, new ferrules looking sharp! I’ve just ordered some from bb&fco just waiting on delivery.

I might make a video, best to check out “Mobile Club Fitter” on YouTube though. He has excellent videos that are easy to watch/understand
[Ford GT40 vibes](https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/images/car/1599/Ford-GT40-Mk-I-Gulf-149046.jpg)
If that’s your thing, I hope you enjoy it. These would draw my attention to much too the wrong part of the club during my swing.
They are very pretty
So, do you remove the heads just for the new ferrules or did you need to re-shaft? Seems like a lot of work for some color.
Miami Dolphins 🐬
Do you have to take the heads off?
Dolphins fan ???
Here comes the obligatory Go Gators!
Cool-didn’t know it was a thing. Now I gotta do it.
My kid would say you now have Blippi clubs.
Not my thing maybe a different color
New to this so don’t hammer me too hard, that just an appearance thing?
Just appearance
Thanks
Did you use a belt sander? Trying to figure out if I need to get a Harbor Freight one for $50 for the occasional reshafts that I do, and I have a set of shafts that I may rebuild with some Takomo or Malibu heads and BBFs as a project.
Just a roll of sand paper at 800 and 2000 grits
Dolphins fan?
Are these just for looks? Do they improve anything? Thanks
Looks only
Looks dope, thx!
Gulf livery for the win. Looks fantastic.
They look so chunky. Not a fan.
How do I learn this power for my Ping Eye 2's lol
Phins up
Is there a way to turn them down or polish them without a belt sander
I did mine by hand with a few 10” cuts of sand paper.
I think it looks pretty damn cool but I think I'd find that color distracting standing at address.
I like them. I do think the ferrules colour would look better on a coloured composite shaft. But they still look okay on the steel.
https://preview.redd.it/7g2qu9jfrfec1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b6e5574774ece4441cf5e63e503b3f380746194 It's a good skill to have, particularly if you are "off" for a few months a year.

You wear matching socks with that?
Matching thong and pasties under my Travis Matthew low crop
Love them! All things customized are sick! I just copper plated my PXG irons with black and green shafts and “acme” BB&F 1.5” ferrules…should be finished tomorrow!
gotta give you some ups for playing the racs those things are sweet. like the colors too - missed seeing that combo from BBF
These are cool OP!! Living in the Northeast there's always a break in the golf season, projects like this help some of us make it thru the winter. Currently refurbing a rusty SC Big Sur broomstick putter myself.
Hell ya!
I think it looks extremely distracting to me when addressing the ball but to each his own
I think u/bnunyabiz has EXCELLENT taste in the details of this game. https://preview.redd.it/uynkkoztzgec1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27f366935f8b8871971ac2673ba518c85814e68c

To each their own. I’ve got blue ferrules on mine
What’s it for?
I am way in the minority I think, but I can't stomach custom ferrules. I like it clean and simple.
Not a fan personally
The black looks way better.

I think it’s sports equipment but hey if you want it to be jewelry why not?.

Sick!
Watch out LPGA here you come!

Lololol
How did you do this OP? Do you have a tutorial and was it hard?
Several videos on YouTube, “Mobile Club Maker” has a great club smith channel.
So just so I understand, this is just an aesthetics thing right? Which is wayyy more than enough reason for me to wanna do it btw lol. Those things are sick
Make sure your color ensemble doesn’t clash with your jogger/ leotards and Nike Pimp shoes. If those critical points are checked off. Your fellow golf partners will know your a player to be reconded with as you sip your Latta with extra Coco sweetener and free range Emu milk.
If tacky is your thing…
Tacky is 100% my thing, the more off the wall the better. I’ve never been guilty of caring, if I like it, I rock it.
Stop buying Etsy ferrules and just go BB&F. It’s legit $5 more, and much better quality. At least you get to practice and do it all over again.
Those aren’t Etsy lol
They are made by SwingRight and sold on Etsy/EBay. Sure are. Had a customer bring me a set this month. Opened them up and the smelled like straight acetone. When putting the second one on, the top 1/3 popped off, and he came over to the shop. Laughed, and said throw on the Menthe by BB&F.
https://y.yarn.co/a27882db-9de1-45b2-a0c6-275c947ae26e_text.gif
Don’t be this guy
I’ll always be that guy
Irons are 20 years old, what’s the point? Save your money and try and get some 5 years newer??
Club Smith… irons were $15, all 11…
Any change in performance since it’s longer than the old one?
Ferrule length has absolutely nothing to do with performance.
Mental performance is half the battle
BB&FCO 2” versions add 1 SW point , these that are 1” are negligible
Why are these a thing?
