I live in Canoga Park California, I am looking for a repair shop that repair persimmons wood. I need new inserts and need recoating. Can anyone help me on this subject?
Since Louisville Golf is one of the only companies still making handmade persimmon clubs, I would give them a call. They list a full repair and refinishing service for all persimmon clubs. I have dealt with them a lot, and they are completely dependable and their work is superb. I would trust them with anything I have.
I have just bought three beautiful persimmon woods off ebay. I remember being advised many years ago that you should use a three piece golf ball a with persimmon club...is this the case, or is it another `ol` wives tale`?
CBC, The old "Top Rock" 2-piece ball has destroyed many an insert. Best to use a softer ball with the older woods. I have replaced a bunch of inserts and it requires a lot of labor to do so. The wound 3-piece balls you were told about are good for that style wood.
