Getting The Shaft - Tips On Replacing It On Your Club
Your First Step - Getting Rid of the Old Shaft Actually, your first step, before getting rid of your old shaft, is to choose a new shaft. It is best to do this at a professional club retail shop where you can get guidance from experienced sales associates. When you have a new shaft, it is time to install. Begin by removing the old shaft from the head of the club. This can be tricky. To remove the shaft, apply heat to the club head. This will help break down the epoxy bond that currently exists between the club head and the shaft. Sometimes, you may have to use a torch or heat gun. If the old shaft has not completely worn away, you may want to place the old shaft in a vise to remove it. Next: Clean Out the Hosel After removing the old shaft successfully, your next step will be to clean out the hosel. Make sure you wear protective gloves while you do this work, as it can get extremely hot. Once you have removed the shaft, chances are that there will be a good amount of epoxy residue that is left on the hosel. This will need to be cleaned out. You can buy a round file and even specialty hosel cleaners for this job. Once the hosel is clean, you will want to pour a little acetone into the hosel in order to remove any greasy residue. Getting the Shaft Ready to Install Always follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Read the directions regarding tip trimming. You will next want to measure the depth of the hostel. Make sure to mark this measurement on the shaft. Next, you will get ready to cut. If your shaft is made out of graphite, be careful not to accidentally splinter the graphite. Avoid this scenario by wrapping the section to be cut with masking tape. Also, you need to make sure that you remove the paint from the tip of the graphite shaft. You may have to use a gritty sandpaper to rid paint from a steel shaft. Installing Your New Shaft Now you are ready to install your new shaft. First, mix the epoxy and apply it to the inside of the hosel. Make sure you cover the entire surface with epoxy. Next, you will want to apply epoxy to the end of the shaft. Then, very slowly apply the shaft into the hosel. Make sure you turn the shaft while you are pushing it into the hosel. Some shafts may need a ferrule. This is a plastic piece that is placed over the shaft. It should butt against the hosel. Next, apply a small amount of epoxy on the shaft tip. Then push the ferrule until the shaft begins to show. Finally, place your club head over the shaft. Hold the club head in your hand. Next, gently tap the end of the shaft against the floor until it is next to the hosel. Let the epoxy cure for about 12 hours. The Final Touch - Adding the Grip The final step is to cut the shaft and add your grip once the epoxy has cured. You will now be faced with the decision on how long your club should be. Cut the shaft in order to install your grip. You will want to choose the right kind of grip. You can purchase everything you will need for this process from most golf component companies. |
