It is not common that you’ll need to replace your golf club shaft, but there are occasions when replacement is necessary. You may find that your shaft is damaged or warped, or you may have come across several secondhand clubs and have to make several changes to accommodate your height. You could take the club to a professional service for the replacement, but if you’re looking to save lots of money, you can replace the shaft on your own.
Place your club shaft into the vise clamp plus tighten carefully. The apex should be easily accessible. Use the torch or heat gun to warm the ferrule, the piece which joins the bottom of the shaft to the top. This is usually black but can be nearly any color. Once it’s warmed, removal will be a lot easier. Use the Hyde knife to cut off the ferrule from the head and the shaft. Use the torch again to heat the hosel for thirty seconds. The hosel is a component of the head where the shaft slides into the head. Pull plus twist the apex (at the same time) to take it away from the shaft. You need to have your gloves on for this. Use the wire brush to clean the inside of the hosel. Your goal is to be certain every bit of the epoxy, or glue, is removed plus the interior is clean.

Apply the Blue Away to the hosel plus head with a paper towel. This can assist to take away any discoloration to the metal that results from using the torch. Use the shaft identification gauge to measure the shaft tip. Obtain a replacement shaft that has this identical measurement. Put the new shaft very carefully into the vise grip and tighten. Measure the new grip and measure out the same amount measure out the length on the shaft. Remove the backing on the tape plus wrap it around the shaft at the start of the grip measurement. The tape must be wrapped lengthwise. Once you reach the end (the additional inch), squeeze the ends together to seal the tape and tuck it into the outlet of the shaft.
Apply grip solvent into the new grip, plugging both ends and shaking to distribute the solvent. Unleash the end of the grip and pour the solvent onto the tape on the shaft. Use extra solvent if required to make sure that all of the tape is wet. Slide the grip onto the tape on the shaft. You have to work quickly to avoid the grip sealing into the wrong position. Slide the head onto the other end of the shaft. Apply the ferrule to the joining place of the hosel plus shaft following the manufacturer’s instructions.
