just finished re-shafting my wedges with all your videos. wanted to say thanks for all the informative stuff. only thing i couldn't get right was after turning down the ferrules with sand paper and wiping softly with a napkin with acetone, i couldn't get that nice glossy look. I took some car wax and a dremel with a buffer attached to it and that did the trick. Once again, thank you for all the informative videos. It was easy!
I actually use (scratch out) or before I used that I’d just use a very fine rag kinda like a glasses rag and rub it really fast dry and it did the trick.
I really enjoy the channel! I just started working on clubs and refreshing their look! I am just doing my first re-shafting so thank you for the video!
@EFGMC - How do you deal with the weight of the grip vs swing weight. Like if you have a heavy grip, and to get a D2-D3 swing weight you're looking at needing 10g head weight? That affects the shaft flex/etc quite a bit right? Should you not attempt at getting to a D2-D3 swing weight if you have a really heavy grip? I don't have anything specific in mind, my grips are 52g, but just wondering if I would have to do anything crazy. Will be doing a reshaft myself of my t150's thanks to your videos! Thanks so much.
Some my question involves blackout shafts I like the regular Project X shafts but I wanted a different look so I bought some blackout Project X shafts. Takes quite a bit of sanding to get that thick layer of paint sanded down enough to get the feral on. My question was it seems like the blackout version plays a little heavier and harsher than the non-blackout version. I was curious if it was common for the frequency or other characteristics to change on the blackout versions versus the regular version Thank you
I've not heard of this before. They are supposed to be the same as the regular version. Weight and flex should be the same but I've never directly compared.
@@EFGMC. Thank you for your response. upon taking the clubs apart and looking at the code at the top of the shaft I found the issue. The regular Chrome version shafts that I have, have been soft stepped twice
@@EFGMC HI, question. I have some callaway epic max star iron heads and I believe there .370 hossel is that correct? And the shafts I have to go in them is eather a Rifle project x 6.0 or a nippon 95g that I'd like to use both .355 tapered shaft. Will that work in these heads. Or what should I do. Really can't afford to purchase new 370 shafts. Thanks
@@EFGMC ok thanks. These original had 50g regular shafts. I'm trying to go to a stiff maybe 95g about the lightest I can find and afford. is changing the weight of shaft to that 95g- 115g going to be ok with these heads as long as there balanced or whatever the professional do to reach D3 D2 etc. Someone told me these heads were made for a specific weight shaft and balance kick point and couldn't be switched to a heaver shaft would defeat the purpose that I wasted my money.. I bought them for the heads and want to set it up for me. Stiff steel 80-115g shafts. Is this going to be ok or am I screwed and need to sell them. And thanks for your time and help I really appreciate it very very much. I am a subscriber and watch all your videos and gain knowledge everything thanks
@@charliehooks5801 I think the heads are lighter, but that just requires adding some head weight if they feel too light. If you are really worried, I would reshaft one club first with a heavier shaft and see if you like the results.
What would be the difference in swing weight when extending half and inch? Also would u recommend adding a little bit of sand when mixing aryldite as a 3rd mixer?
1/2 inch = 3 swing weight points. I don't like adding anything to epoxy other than beads and I only ever use a very small amount of those. Anything else risks compromising the bond.
My son is starting to get into golf. Any suggestions on the best way to deal with needing longer clubs each year as he grows out of them? Is there easily replacement shaft options for kids?
I know some junior clubs offer a trade up program so you can exchange for longer clubs. You can also very simply add extensions to clubs up to an 1 or 1 1/2 inches and regrip with larger grips.
Hi AJ, a question about the weight of the heads and shafts. As an example, 7 iron head weighs 267 g (should be 268 g)and 8 iron head weighs 273 g (should be 275 g). The 7 iron shaft weighs 107 g and the 8 iron shaft weighs 105 g (2 g less than the 7 iron shaft). Now for the tip weights. Should I use 1 g for the 7 iron and 4 g for the 8 iron (2 from the head and 2 from the shaft)? I hope you understand what I mean.
You're asking should you be focusing on the heads since your shafts are descending in weight as they get shorter? If so, I would say still focus on the heads, it takes around 9g of shaft weight change in influence 1 SWP of feel so the head will still be the bigger influencer.
Aj , I have an issue with an la golf driver shaft I purchased that has a 1/2 in butt extension unknown prior and is still under my preferred length. I wanted to extend it an inch and a 1/4. What do you think the best way to remove this current undersized butt extension without damaging the shaft? Any ideas, thanks!
No good options. Really can only cut it off to remove and that just makes it shorter so you are out of luck very likely. If it’s a matter of either trying something or throwing away the shaft, you could try to heat up a metal rod and heat the inside of the extension to get it loose without hopefully heating or damaging the shaft.

Great videos, one of my favorite channels. Working on switching shafts over to senior flex. First time building clubs. Thanks for the tips
Love the videos! Feel very confident in replacing my iron shafts myself this week after watching many of your videos
Great information. Do you have a checklist of the specific equipment that a beginner would need?
Very good video. I will have to remember the 7 grams of additional weight as the irons get shorter.
Thank you AJ. Curious if you spine and FLO your shafts prior to installing? 🤔
Great videos! Thank you! May I ask what club ruler you are using?

AJ..can you video a method to fix a rattle inside a metal wood, hybrid or driver etc? Your videos are very useful, thank you
I will try and remember next time one with a rattle comes in the door.

@@markc3653 That explains that.
Great video! How much and at what point during mixing the epoxy do you add shafting beads?
Right at the outset after pouring the epoxy. No more than 5% per volume of epoxy for bead quantity.

@@charliehooks5801 Yes, those are .370
No issue to use .355 shafts, just need to buy some brass shims to use during install.

Will swing weight go down if you put in a lighter shaft ? 105 steel to 84 graphite ?
Yes, 9g shaft weight change will change SW by 1 point, assuming the balance of the 2 shafts were similar.

@@EFGMC I have a set of taper tip shafts that vary up to 4 grams. I thought i could compensate for this via the tip weights.

The most puzzling thing for me is the shaft/ferrule. Straight? tapered? diameters?
What's your other channel? The link in description isn't working.
I think this is the channel: ua-cam.com/users/EliteFitGolf
Will change in the description. This was the new YT handle I thought 😂
@@libbe4 Thank you
What is your source of components?
Club building supplies I use Golfworks, Billy Bobs Golf, BB&F to name a few.
Use denatured alcohol not grip solvent to clean up excess epoxy
Whats the difference between “woods” and “fairway woods” lol 😂
What about Spining, FLO'ing, PURE'ing?? lol
