After trimming to playing length, some shafts don't have much area with a dull finish left at the butt end.

It would be unnecessary to do that since the grip tape you use would be the main adherant for the grip.

You may not put them in far enough.

Longer is better because of the variety of positions.

You could do gaps or grinding and spinns try doing a long vert section

Most companies will refurbish you club for a small fee.  I had a Callaway Steelhead III 3 wood refurbished at Callaway.  It looks like I have never hit it.  Brand new.  Just a thought.

Putting the ball back in the stance, using a stiffer shaft, and make sure your not pushing the club down with your right side (big deep bone jarring divots

Where has common courtesy gone?  If I wasn't willing to take the penalty strokes, drop a ball and play on, I would get the ball myself.  If I "needed" to have the caddie do it, then YES I definitely would up my tip at the end of my round.  I may be old fashioned, but I would also say "thanks!"

Whenever the ball hits any part of the net ( metal construction too ) and falls into the other side of the table, the point is good! New rules even allow that in serving, there is no repeat of the serve any more.

power comes with age, or in your case the strings lose stiffness with use and then the racquet will seem to have more power.

Fast drying type like cyanoacrylate type used to glue golf club ends to fiberclass shaft & flites on hunting arrows U can find it in stores that sell that kind of stuff.

Are you buying new clubs or just a shaft.  You should hit a club with the shaft you want and if your looking at new clubs hit regular and stiff and compare.  The problem is when it comes to stiff and regular there is not an industry standard.  What one company calls stiff another will call regular.  Callaway's stiff shafts is a good example.  They did that because everyone wanted stiff shafts when they should have regular.  A stiffer shaft will help with a slice, but your best bet is to check your grip, stance and make sure you lined up at the target.  Don't just aim down the fairway pick out a target and swing at it.  \nGood Luck

I'd say don't fudge with it.  The coloring you discuss is considered patina.  The natural process of metal aging.  A lot of collectors prefer this natural coloring.  You could be cleaning off value.  Some Ping putters from that era are worth more than others.  Made in Scottsdale is worth more than made in Phoenix.  Sometimes a lot more.  So I'd suggest not polishing.  If you absolutely must...take it to a reputable club repair person and have it refinished proper.  It can be made to look brand new.  Usually either sandblasting or buffing depending on model, metal etc.

If you are concerned that your age is slowing down your swing, go for graphite to speed up the swing and increase your distance. Otherwise, steel shafts are the best to learn from, I've always noticed much better feel and stability with the steel shafts, which will help your control.
