I usually use a little masking tape to I know where to stop removing the paint and then when I glue to keep the epoxy off the shaft and adapter. Just speeds up clean up. Just found you on UA-cam and enjoying the videos
I like to put the adapter in the head in the setting that it will be used and then assemble just like a normal club head. That way the shaft is easily oriented the way you prefer. Good tips as always though! Thanks!
Wish I woulda watched this prior to installing an adapter on an uncut shaft. Guess I can follow this after my adapter an head fly off my driver in the future because I didn't sand anything to help the bond XD.
go to hardware store and take the adapter and find a screw that screws into it. buy like a 2 and half inch or 3 inch .one that you can put a big washer on it near the head of the screw. Then you can heat the adapter and have the shaft puller hook behind the washer
Every body shows fitting the driver shaft. My question is on a non adapter or direct bore you do not need to tip trim most shafts for a river. Do you need to tip trim when you use an adapter? Also, do you follow the manufacturers trimming suggestions for fairway and hybrid shafts?
Hi! Just watched this vid and have a question. You are making this driver for yourself and have installed the sleeve adaptor at a +1* setting and then matched it to the logos etc on the diamana shaft. Would it not be better to install sleeve adaptor in standard setting so that IF u decided to sell this driver then u do not have to either advise purchaser or pull off sleeve adaptor and then re-set to standard? IF the shaft logos are "cock-eyed" as u look down it at address, does would this not throw u off w your swing? (I know it would for me.....). Thanks.
Hi AJ.. BEEN looking online for the little brush (you had in your drill to rough up the adaptor inside to prep for the epoxy) but to No Avail. Being im still very much a newbie and Residing in New Zealand the only places i go to are Golfworks and Billybobs. If its a Golfworks part dont suppose you know what it is or WHERE i can get one?? Thankyou
Hey I love the video. I have a question. My graphite shaft snapped just north of the adapter. Can I drill the adapter clean, and trim the driver shaft from the snap and then reuse the same shaft ? Thanks
You would need to trim at least another 1/2 inch off the shaft to make sure you get down to unfrayed graphite. That very likely means you would have a shaft that is now 2 inches shorter than standard and will feel very stiff. Can you do it, yes, would I recommend, no.
Hi AJ, any tips when the shaft is too thick to go into the adapter and you need to sand away more material that the shaft will fit into the adapter and then it will not slide over the "lip" of the paint, so it does not go onto the shaft unless you go higher up and then you can end up with a bad finish where the two meet(meaning exposed graphite without paint). Thanks!
Couple options here. You could use a short ferrule if matching up with a non ferruled adapter like Mizuno or Srixon for example. The other option is just get the sanding close, don't worry if the shaft bottoms out in the adapter as long as it's at least in inch inserted. Just get it down to where the paint starts. You can tap it down a couple times on the floor to get it slightly deeper need be. If you prep the tip carefully and evenly, it should look even and clean with this method.
Love you channel! I have a question I was hoping you could help me with, I got fit for a TSR2 and the setting is D2, this puts the shaft graphics in a weird position. Can I simply heat up the adapter with a heat gun or torch and then turn it to the desired position and then let it dry? Will the epoxy reset? ...or do I have to do a full removal and re glue? Thank you!
Dang, I was actually looking for a tip on how to replace the screw that is inside the golf head that is going to attach that adapter. The process looks pretty straight forward but it can actually be a pain in the butt and I am sure a pro clubmaker such as yourself has an easy way?
The screw is held in with a rubber washer in most cases. I use a wood dowel slid into the hosel and pushing against the screw tip while I use the wrench on the other end to unscrew it from the washer.
Do you ever use shafting beads for driver sleeves? I use them when installing my iron shafts but getting ready to install a new adaptor on a new driver shaft and was just checking. Thank you!
Good video. Do you have a video on prepping a driver shaft for use in a 3 wood? I have a Ping Alta CB that came stock in my driver. My 3 wood shaft broke...is this something worth doing or?
Still can’t release my adapter from shaft, on TaylorMade, going to phone their Customer service as it appears it’s not uncommon to get stuck. Once again cracking video.
HI AJ, I know you are the man with all the answers, we have screwed the adapter screw on a driver to tight and now the screw is stripped and we can't get out with the wrench. Any ideas? Do you have a video on this one? Thanks again!
yes I tried that, the steel is so hard I can't even try to drill it out. The problem is I can't even make a cut on the screw head ( to try and use a screwdriver) as there is no room to work on it as it is recessed. Might be a good video if you are looking for ideas, I am sure it has happened before. Thanks anyways
@@sandrahachey7236 Not sure this would work but another option would be to epoxy a torque wrench tip to the screw head. Not sure this would work and would need to be careful not to get epoxy on the base of the screw but might be a last chance method.
If the tip of my shaft broke in the adapter will a new adapter be wide enough to put the shaft In there again if I trim it straight. . Please let me know so I don't waste money . I love that shaft and it snapped.
Going to be a very different shaft if you try to reuse it. You have lost over an inch of tip once you clean it up so it's going to be a good bit stiffer. Assume 1 flex stiffer, not to mention the length will be that much shorter. As far as will it fit, depends what shaft it is and how it was prepped the first time, and how much you need to remove to get to undamaged area. If you want to try it, first get some calipers and make sure you have a long enough parallel tip area that can fit inside the hosel and extend an extra inch past the hosel. Never sand down a shaft above the hosel line to get it to fit, as you will end up in the same place you are right now, aka another hosel snap.
Thanks for the quick reply. Problem is it's a hazardous extra stiff shaft already. Lol it would only be 44 inches once I prep the top. But I think a little shorter shaft would benefit me better. Might just buy the adjustable peice and try it out. I have the original shaft on my driver and it feels like a noodle when I swing it now. Regular flex and only 50 grams. My hazardous is 75 grams . Hope I can repair it.
Hey AJ, thanks for all great contents on your channel. I have a question regarding this tho: I'm buying a used shaft and as for now it has been cut to 43.5" length. The owner said once fitted with adapter, the driver will measured at 45". I plan to fit it in my 2016 Taylormade M2 head. Also, my ideal length for a driver is somewhere 44.5' to 45" (from what I can remember from my last custom fitted back in 2014). Do you know if this length (43.5" with no adapter) still will give me my ideal length of 44.5 - 45"? Appreciate if you can help me with this, thank you in advance. - Muz @moose
I have never had a driver feel right since these adapters became the norm. It's like no matter what I set it to, it doesn't look right. I went back to a driver a brand built for me after the industry made the change and played it until I eventually had to pull out my Titleist with the adapter and just looking down at it, no matter the setting, looks and feels off. I can't be the only one. It feels like the adjustments are unnatural compared to the fixed shafts. I basically have to just trust the setting and adjust to accomodate, rather look down and have that old school traditional setup. Don't get me wrong, I still get results but it just doesn't have that touch like they used to. Are there any ways around these adapters these days?
Don't know anyone making a bonded driver head at this point. I will say I personally do not like any of the thicker hosel drivers like Callaway or Titleist as they just look oddly out of proportion to the head. I prefer the smaller adapter style of a Mizuno, Cobra, TM etc.
Love your vids! 🙏💯 I have a general question regarding alignment of shaft logo and club head, since you mentioned it - I had a sporting good store install my 1w and 3w onto new graphite shafts - I requested that they line up the grip and shaft logos so that it's face up into a straight/square face... but they failed to do so. On graphite shaft, is it possible to reheat the hozel (hot water or heat gun) to slightly loosen the epoxy so that I can twist the hozel/head into better alignment with the shaft logos? Can it be done without any repercussion? - or would I have to uninstall, clean, and reinstall? Thanks again for sharing the wisdom!
I don't know if they're all the same but for the Taylormade driver I did, I had to install the standard setting (wasn't sure which setting I liked better yet) 180 out to have the shaft logo facing up in line like a stock build.
I've always been told to fill the adapter with epoxy so that when fitting the adapter on the epoxy shoots up the tip of the shaft creating a stronger bond. Before I build my first aftermarket shaft (Ventus TR) have I been told wrong?
@@EFGMC Could I sand down my existing shaft to .335 then epoxy to .335 hosel?I play golf for exercise and am not exactly a fast or hard hitter.The shaft is an Aldillla shaft if it helps. Thanks.
@@Hahehhwgajshah72726.. I think if the shaft is not an ultra light, you should be fine. If it's a sub 60g shaft, I would be a little more concerned about weakening that tip with sanding.
Coming from the archery world where we are building carbon arrows with all of their components, it is not recommended to use Acetone as your final cleaning agent. Acetone will leave a film on your mating surfaces affecting the bond. Instead use 99% Isopropyl alcohol.
How do you address the swing weighting. If you are removing an 85g shaft with the intent of replacing it with a 60g shaft, what do you need to do before attaching the adaptor to achieve the swing weight required?
Assuming you are keeping the same playing length, the 60g shaft will usually come out around 3 SWP lighter. You could install a shaft tip weight but that shortens the available hosel depth. Modern clubs are nice because you can just get heavier moveable weight to install. Or you could hotmelt the 6 grams.
Balance the o ring on end of shaft adapter and insert into hosel. Then put screw into other end and tighten until the o ring is over the screw threading.
No, each brand has its own adapter and they won't work in each others. And some brands switch their adapter design over time so an older Taylormade adapter won't work on new heads.
Thoughts on aftermarket adapters? Ever seen one fail? (Adapter, NOT the epoxy/install) I got a titleist one that I micd and the adjustment cogs def didn’t do anything, but I have also used a cobra one that did get the angles right. Both seemed high quality. Just wanted your thoughts.
Are driver, fairway wood, hybrid the same adapter? Are driver, fairway woods, hybrid shafts the same tip diameter? How do manufacturers distinguish a left and right hand adapter? Like the video could have been a little more in-depth.
Hybrids are always different adapters because they are .355 or .370 tip. Fairway woods sometimes have a different adapter, it's brand specific. Usually LH adapters will have some sort of marking to indicate it.
I did. Just didn't show it. Always assume I use them even if I don't show it. Fully acknowledge they aren't necessary but I just like the feel of the build with beads during epoxying.
This only happens if you are using a used shaft that has old epoxy down in the tip, creating a pressure build up. You need to drill out the old epoxy so the pressure can vent out.
I use Golfworks Tour Set epoxy. 3M 420 is good, but expensive. Any of the golf specific epoxies that have a lap shear strength of over 2500psi should be good. Most important thing is making sure the bonding surfaces are clean, and the epoxy is mixed throughly.
Does anybody know if the Taylormade M series driver tips will fit an R11s? Trying to send my dad some of my shafts to try, but I don't think they're compatible
Needs a strength of between 2500-4000 psi. Golf specific epoxy is a good idea though others will work if designed for similar bonding surfaces and match the lap sheer strength.
I usually use a little masking tape to I know where to stop removing the paint and then when I glue to keep the epoxy off the shaft and adapter. Just speeds up clean up. Just found you on UA-cam and enjoying the videos
I was actually thinking the same, having never done this before that was my plan.
