Hi All,
I just modified a fat handle Tech and thought it might be of interest.
Like many of you, I love the Techs but have a hard time holding onto the thin handle ball end type. I bought a fat handle and it was easier to keep a grip on but I found the balance off because it is hollow and so light. So I got out my golf club building supplies and went to work.
I mixed up a large batch of epoxy and stirred in a lot of powdered lead (bismuth will work also). I drizzled this mixture into the fat Tech handle and set it in an upright position to cure. If you get a mess on the outside of the handle clean it up before it cures with a little denatured alcohol on a rag. After 24 hours the epoxy had cured and I cleared the threads out with a 10X32 tap. Now I have a fat handled Tech with a nice heft to it and easier to get a secure grip on than the thin handle ball end type.
I like it a lot!
