Shaft remover for a graphite shaft or steel if you want it to be easier. - amzn.to/3cFn1lL
Dude, I'd like to buy you a beer. Thanks so much for making this video. Cheers!
Doing a graphite shafted driver in the morning, great little video to give me a good plan of action, thank you very much
That sand paper sounds SO much better than that music. :-)
Thanks for the info homie. Already switching out my shit, no need for a pro shop when you have all the skills. Thank you brotha
Youre welcome. Thanks for the kind words
If you are only doing one club, or a set of clubs, you can eliminate the welding gloves - just use a kitchen stove mitt. Ditto the heat gun - instead use your kitchen gas burner or a camping stove burner to gradually heat the hosel for a few seconds at a time until the head starts getting loose then pull it off. While the head, shaft and epoxy are warm is a good time to use your brush to clean them. If you let them cool it is more difficult to clean.
Cigar torch works too
amazing video! very thorough and clear instructions you made this look easy!
Thank you. I try.
Great information. You kept it simple and made it look easy. Thanks for posting.
Glad it helped. Thanks for the kind words.
Love the Urban Chestnut coaster! Thanks for the video... great job!
You’re welcome.
Thanks for the info. I'd be worried that if I did that two weeks later the head would fly off! I would why they don't screw into the hosel and add a bit of resin to stop it working it's way loose?
Use a chop stick to push the glue into the ferrule. Also, check swingweight (at your pro) before removing the old shaft and after as the shaft balance points will be different between graphite and steel shafts. You could fit tip weights to compensate for this difference
Great video. Do you need to identify which way the shaft bends? ie. do they have the same bending profile all the way round?
I would presume it doesn't matter...
I don't think they have seams anymore so I would say no.
2:35, if I may correct you, a torch actually is safe to use on a steel head and less time consuming, you only want to use a heat gun on graphite since its more fragile
This is not true at all. DO NOT USE A HEAT GUN ON A GRAPHITE SHAFT!!! The heat gun will take so long to melt the epoxy that it will weaken the shaft. Resulting in a broken shaft.
I used a propane torch on an old club. The epoxy got so hot it blew out like a rifle and hit my wife 8 ft away and burned her. While a torch has been the heat source of choice for many years I highly discourage it for safety reasons. A heat gun will not get as hot as a torch.
@@jeffanderson6740 sounds like a freak accident.
I was a professional for quite a while, and the repair guys I knew all used torches. You've got to be smart when you use it, kind of make passes at the hosel and test it. Take your time, and don't rush. The last thing you want is to put a hole in your wife, for goodness sake! :-)
Very nice video thx so much gor the insights! Question: If you change a shaft from a hybrid, will it damage the head of the club when using the heat from your experience?
Nice job mister.
Thank you
Any reason not to roll shaft into glue since that's what I assume is the point of contact in the connection? Never done this before but I'm about to learn everything then try. Also are shafts re usable if cleaned up properly?
No reason. I rolled it in the club head. Yes. Shafts are reusable cleaned up.
@@DIYReid you sir are an idiot no way was it mixed right and the swing weight was what ? And the tip trim instruction was what ? That's right you have no idea do you. Watching amateurs like you keeps us in business
@@michaelgarwood5334 No reason to call anyone names here.
@@jeromekim1221 disagree call out those that claim to know what they are doing put it out on public display. Idiot shambolic etc
Well done, looks straightforward enough
Thank you
Nice work, buddy
Thanks for the kind words.
do you have to line the shaft up at all before putting the head back on ? or can the iron shaft go in anyway ?
The pros spline the shaft meaning they line up the weld on top, so when it bends it will bend correctly and not twist. You have to have a special tool for that. You can get by without it though.
Works perfect good video good advice thank you sir
Glad I could help. Thanks for the kind words.
Excellent tutorial video, thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for the kind words.
Good video. I’ve dabbled in grip replacement and am thinking about doing some shaft replacement for myself and friends. Thank you for the info
You’re welcome.
A question about the spin of the shaft.
Why don't you find the spin before you glue the shaft so that it swings straight?
Good vid. But there many other utensils for mixing epoxy that don’t waste the razorblades. I use takeout chopsticks or wood skewers.
I didn’t have either of those with in arms reach :)
I like the bottle opener under the vice. 😂
Thanks, guy good video
cheers my dude
Do you rough up the part of the shaft where the ferrule rests, or just where the hosel will fit?
Hosel
I always wondered how to do that
Great video! exactly what I needed
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Found this because I’m trying to reshaft some wedges. This may seem completely out of left-field, but do you get cluster headaches, extremely painful headaches on one side that only last a few hours (or less)?
No that I’m aware of. Maybe. I don’t drink enough water ever so that doesn’t help.
Never done this before, but I have a lot of experience with epoxy and steel shafts. Don't waste razor blades on mixing epoxy. Just get some dirt cheap acid brushes. They'll mix it great and help spread it evenly.
I just used something I had available at that very second that I didn’t care about. 😂
Popsicle sticks.
The guys I was around used really thin dowels to mix it up and spread it. I agree on the razor blades.
Good information!
1. Put your shaft in a vice when you are hearing it, its much easier.
2. Tape your ferrules In place.
3. Use a dowel rod or piece of wood that goes into the club head easy to spread your epoxy.
Are centering beads needed?
Thank you !
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
Great video thanks for posting 👍
Thank you for this!
You’re welcome
Great video. I hope your eye got better.
Which sandpaper grit was used for the shaft and ferrule?
You'd want somewhere around 80-120 for the shaft and a finer grit for the ferrule, probably something around 320-400
How bout swing weight?
I thought you would smoke the ferrule with the heat gun on high. I assume you directed it at the shaft part of the head only. Thank you for the demo!
You’re replacing the ferrule anyways.
Best place to buy replacement feral
OK, now how do you do it without melting the original ferrules? I have a set of matching #s vintage MacGregor M/T irons with rusty shafts which I would like to redo. But I want to preserve the serial numbers which are on the ferrules. Hope you can help.
Not sure on that. That might be tough.
@@DIYReid I found the answer: ua-cam.com/video/PVeocNpxBUY/v-deo.html
Great video thanks!!
If that enough epoxy for a full set of irons or do I need the bottles?
That 2 set bottle he has there will do a few sets of irons. Its fairly inexpensive to buy those. Just look at like a golf galaxy or an edwin watts, etc.
Great! Thanks!
After you sand the ferrule down to the size you want, take a rag with a little bit of acetone on it and do a quick turning motion over the ferrule (like turning a screw with your fingers) and it will melt the sand paper marks out of the ferrule and the ferrule will shine like new.
Thanks for the tip!
why pour the glue into the hosel, when you can put it on the shaft itself?
Because you want the hosel and the shaft hollow to be full of the epoxy as well, the excess will fill the void in the shaft reinforcing the area of the shaft inside the hosel.
Putting it just on the shaft will cause the hosel to push the epoxy backwards off the shaft and you'll end up with too little where you need it.
You want the squeeze out to fill any irregularities between the shaft and club head.
Thanks.
You’re welcome
What kind of epoxy are you using?
This epoxy - amzn.to/3dgrtKm
Enjoyed the video, but the music is much too loud. Thanks
What's the black part under the shaft called?
You mean what’s in the vice? - This thing? amzn.to/3uAhbO2
@@DIYReid under the iron head
Like the video. Good job man
Thanks for watching.
You didn't show actually cutting the shaft to length.
Should you have done?
I have a Titleist 712U utility club, similar to yours. The specification length is 39.5".
Is this length achieved without any trimming of tip or butt?
The 712U is nice. I bought the shaft to length already.
@@DIYReid I've ordered the shafts for the 712U 2 Iron, 3 Iron and 4 Iron. Dynamic Gold SL R300.
I'm waiting to see how the lengths come in. The standard lengths of the assembled clubs should be 39.5", 39.0" and 38.5" respectively.
If the shafts I've ordered come in uncut then it will be easy to tell. I'll let you know here.
The epoxy you are using - is that just a proprietary "Araldite"? You can buy this sort of adhesive in the "Rapid" type or the slower cure type. Which one are you using?
Also the wire pipe brush - what size are you using? The smallest I can find at the moment is around 13mm.
@@DIYReid OK - The shafts arrived today. They are different lengths which indicates they are intended for graduated club length. Measuring the existing club (with existing shaft which is too stiff for me) it is standard length, (39.5").
The longest shaft in the delivery is actually approximately 2" too long. I'm guessing the others will be too.
So, is it the tip that fits into the hosel that needs trimming or is it the butt where the grip slides on?
How do I find this out?
How did you buy a shaft that was already the fitted length? Was it a new shaft or a shaft you took out of another club? Because I don't know any supplier of shafts that would cut a shaft to what they think is the right length.
Surely some cutting/trimming is necessary, even if it turns out its the butt end.
Last question - when fitting a different shaft, did you consider a) overall club weight and b) swing-weight?
Both of these factors can affect playability.
Offering up a lighter shaft would make a difference. The shafts I am going to fit are TT Dynamic Gold SL R300 which are substantially lighter than the standard Dynamic Gold. Standard DG R300 are quoted at 127 grams. DG SL R300 are quoted at 105 grams. This could make a difference of just over 7 swing-weights.
Soooooo, the heat gun is to get the ferrule loose without lighting it on fire. The torch (that you didn't use) is what you heat the the hosel with. That's why you were heating it for 3 days
So if I'm going from a steel shaft to graphite on the irons, just buy the correct ferrule, shafts I want, and otherwise all else should be the same?
Yup.
@@DIYReid Much appreciated sir. This old man needs to go a little bit lighter.
@@DIYReid how to heat the graphite shaft? You said, not to use the heat gun.
I’d use an actual puller with graphite shafts as they are more prone to breaking. I'd recommend a shaft puller like this - amzn.to/3cFn1lL
Can i replace a steal shaft with graphite?
Yes.
Good job, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for watching.
great video. good job!
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
Where's the tip weight?
How do you adjust lie etc?
You’ll need a device for that. Golfworx sells them.
Danke
You’re welcome.
I see that Urban Chesnut logo!
Haha yup.
No glass beeds? I was hoping to get an explanation what they are necessary for... Thanks for the rest though!
They help bond the shaft to the head
Anybody know the name of the drum n bass song at minute 3:15?
ua-cam.com/video/HqvZnZBIhD0/v-deo.html It's "Smooth City" by Flat Theory. Download the app "SoundHound" to your smart phone, and it will usually identify most music for you. That is how I found this tune.
great work is worth a little sweat.
why do some club heads have screws, and how to use these
It allows you to change things on the head. In those instances you’re installing the tip that works for the head vs the club head
Should use a wood stick to mix epoxy not a utility knife. Stick is disposable.
So is the blade. 😃
I even heated with a torch and it wont come out!
For how long?
@@DIYReid for 8 minutes then 3 more and it didnt come out, maybe the glue they used on the clubs was the wrong one
good video but you forgot to mention one thing ! You have to cut the shafts to length for the club head they are going too !
I ordered the shaft the length I wanted.
Don't really understand why you wasted a new razor knife when a coffee stir stick from Macdonalds does a much better job!
You can use whatever. Didn’t have a McDonald’s coffee stir stick.
Please tap on a folded up shop rag. It’s not as noisy and won’t scratch your new shaft.
I don't know what you do as a real job, but your clueless about building clubs...the things you forgot to do (or did not know to do) shaft spine alignment, swing weight, just to mention a few.
Expert alert!
@@krysxn if your happy to accept the miss-information he dribbled, your as big a moron as him. Knowledge is power & you clearly have none.

swing weight...naaa we dont need that
Do we really need the music? This isn't high drama.
Yes. :)
All the things to use in the entire world to apply apoxy, and you use... a razorblade
Just to trigger you :)
Too much sugar for a nickel, guess I’ll buy new
