GRAPHITE GOLF CLUB RESHAFT / SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE

In this video I show you how simple it is to install a new graphite shaft in your golf clubs. You don't need expensive custom tools, just basic hardware store supplies.

Pro tip: to prevent broken fibers, saw a shallow cut on opposite side of shaft first before you cut all the way through

I've swapped driver tips and reused my driver shaft 4 times with 4 different heads with just a a blow torch. No issues with reusing the shaft...

Wish I could have seen your video before re-shafting my driver....learned a couple of hints that would have saved me some headaches. Wish I would have had a shaft puller so I didn't ruin the old would have made a nice shaft for one of my hybrids. Thanks for the video!

Blowtorch worked well I pulled graphites out of my irons. Popped right out no issues. I even put them back in after trying steels I did not like. I'm about to change my shaft in my driver. I wish I had a good workbench.

Just had my driver shaft snap midway in the handle. Never had it happen before on Driver or graphite. Turned to your video for some tips. Thanks.

slide an open end wrench over the shaft but is small enough to catch the hozzle and tap it off. That way you don't ruin the shaft. Just like a puller. It will remove it without twisting.

Great video. I went and made the bench ruler that you have after watching one of your earlier video. Great idea and saved a bundle. Thanks!

[brianhess]

Great video. One tip I found that makes it easier is a cheap tube or pipe cutter. The kind that you spin around the shaft and tighen. Very simple and makes a very clean cut.

Good presentation. Thank you for sharing.

[Chandransingham]

My 60 degree Ping graphite shaft broke probably due to hard hitting in bunkers. I might try your method as you explained. God bless.

[ArtificiallySweet]

old school without shaft puller was a pry bar to slide it straight off without twisting and save the shaft.

[paulc]

great video, do you have any video's of changing from steel shaft's to graphite and if it is possible to do so. I heard it said that it ok or no it not recommended?

[isleofdeath]

If there is a ferrule I advice first of all heating that up slightly and then getting if of the adapter -- use anything that is thin and scrape it off. The ferrule is lost as the plast´ic bends, but afterwards it does not stick to the adapter!

Thanks for the video, really insightful. I noticed you saw an inch of the bottom and also when gripping also the top of the shaft. Do you have to saw twice? Can you just saw one side and be able to do re-shaft, or is this just preference as long as you get your desired length and all fits add up?

Thanks, Tom

Hello, did you use two wraps of tape before putting the grip on.
Thanks

[carcose]

Great video!
I would like to ask you how to shorten a 6 hibrid iron too long (39, 25). Could I cut the bottom without other operations?
Many thanks

Thanks for all the great videos. I have question. I want to remove the head from the shaft without using a shaft puller. For that the club is positioned vertical with the help of a firm clamp. Now I attach a weight of say 80 kg at the clubhead and after that I heat the hosel until the heads with the weight drops down. Would this be an option and how much weight is needed?

[brich]

Curious . . . If we did this with plans to cut a full inch from the tip does that change the level of concern with how the tip is handled?
Obviously I don't have and would prefer delaying obtaining a puller.
Thanks for all the superb content.

Im glad i came across your channel! I got a question though. I want to have my wedges match my irons that have graphite shafts. Do I have to worry about the swing weight and all that if I just install the graphite wedge shafts and butt trim them to the standard length that taylormade has on their website?

[HBiz]

Can you elaborate on how trimming the head end affects kick point, flex, and shaft performance in general? How did you know to trim one inch?
