To all golfers out there (and non-golfers too),

[First, a plug for NewLondon88. His ResinSavers work so well, even for a casting newbie. Thanks Chuck!]

The material this time is label from a box of Titleist Pro V1x and Pro V1 (golf ball).

Picture 1 - front side of the blanks. Top 2 blanks are Titleist Pro V1x, bottom 2 blanks are Titleist Pro V1.

Picture 2 - back side of the blanks.

Casting process - cut the label to the length of a Sierra tube, figure out the width of the label = the diameter of the tube. CA glue the label to the tube ... and cast in polyresin.

Pens will come soon. Have to buy some Sierra kit .

As always comments are welcome.

Oh, FORE!!!

Those are amazing.......when are you going to start selling them? Put me on the list for when you do. Can't hit 'em, but I can write with 'em
Cheers

Wow .. those look sharp
Did you need to let the CA dry for any length of time before casting? I
know it can off-gas for a while and the fumes can cause problems.
Pretty slick using the label right from the box. I'd have scanned it and
then printed them out, forgetting which materials worked and which ones
didn't.. Nice job!

Those do look nice. However, you may want to check into the trademark laws in Canada. In the US, that would constitute trademark infringement.

If they're not being sold, can that be an infringement? After all, he didn't
copy them, he took the wrapper from a product that he paid for..

Hi All,

Thank you for you comments / compliments.

Chuck is absolutely correct. I have no intention selling them.

I am just playing around with different ideas/materials.

Now my question is: would I have Titleist knocking at my door if I give the pens as gifts to my golfing buddies (not sure those hackers deserve them)? Or as a gift (as a pen or just a blank), say in a pen swap?


I can hear it now. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Hear ye, hear ye. The court is in session, Judge Judy presiding. Case #1 professional golf ball maker (Titleist the great) vs. # 130 handicap hacker.

Judge Judy: Defendant, what say ye.

Hacker: Your honest. I would like to move this case to be dismissed. I have a handicap index over 130. I cannot be called a golf professional at all. I can prove to the court that I do not have 19 mistresses, not even 1.​
P.S. When I have a few minute, I will write up a tutorial as to how I peel and CA glue the label to the tube.

P.S.S. watch for my next post. Levis might be knocking at my door too.

I thought about doing that with old golf shafts. Neat idea for gifts. Don't think you could sell them (infringement).
