Head
The head of a golf iron is usually made from a forging or casting process. Drivers are usually created with a composite metal assembled in a factory. The other processes of making the club are performed after the head is created.
Shaft
The shaft is cut at the tip where it is connected to the club head. It will then be abraded to give it a rough finish.
Ferrule
Some clubs have ferrules, which are metal pieces that go into the hosel, or socket, of the club and up the shaft. These are small pieces and will be specific to certain clubs.
Connect the shaft
The shaft is connected by applying an epoxy to both the shaft and the inside the hosel of the club head. Then the shaft is pushed into the hosel and allowed to set for a day to cure the epoxy before swinging.
Grips
The grip is applied by first using 2-inch grip tape and wrapping the shaft from the top to about 10 inches in length. Then grip solvent is used to wet the tape and allow the grip to slide on. This needs to be done quickly as to get the grip affixed correctly.
Note
Now that the club is complete it should set for one day so all the glues can dry.
