Golf Club RepairGolf Shaft Install - part 2

[bruceky9]

Thanks Stevie i got the shaft on ebay, for $30 or $35.

[stevieboy217]

Great vid. Thanks. Where did you get the shaft from and are there any good websites that you would suggest. I'm in the uk.

Finger nail polish remover no longer contains acetone. You have to buy acetone at the hardware store. But what's hilarious is that you used it on a new shaft. It's used to clean old epoxy off of a pulled shaft. This guy is a genius... Viewer beware!

[bruceky9]

@tlhammond5 the club is still together , i must have do have done something right. thanks for the nice comments

[bogushavis]

Things to have on hand:

Old card table(don’t get near the wife’s oak dining table!), garbage container, masking tape, hack saw, fine tooth file, razor blade knife, acetone, “Q-Tips”, paper towels, sandpaper, cordless drill, drill bit with sandpaper wrap (love this!) epoxy, mixing sticks, and finally SPIT! Me, I would have had to head for the garage about 4 times at least, but you had it all there, clearly you’ve done this many times before.

There isa right way and wrong way to do everything. You did a great job of demonstrating the wrong way to remove and replace a golf shaft.

[bruceky9]

@JPBill2  thanks jpbill2 ok what was wrong?? please tell me

[bogushavis]

@bruceky9 I don't think JPBill2 has ever replied to anyone. I've called him out several times. I don't think he even knows about his inbox. Before I did my reshafts I looked at a lot of repair videos and he had put comments on many of them. He is negative and often wrong. Lots of people of called him out on his stupidity. But he never answers.

[bruceky9]

@bogushavis Yeah i agree 100%, The clup repair process worked for me wonder what he would have done differently.

[bogushavis]

@bruceky9 I think he's a retired golf shop guy. He resents you showing people that this can be done at home.

Guys like him are the reason I regrip and reshaft my clubs at home.

I've had a dozen clubs reshafted and many more regripped.

I've got a set of irons where the grip length varies by 1/2" from longest to shortest.

I've had 1/16" gap between the ferrule and the hosel.

How about cracking the tip in the chop saw and installing it anyway, been there.

Installed the wrong grip on the new shaft.

[bogushavis]

One guy mashed the shim into the bottom of the hosel and the club ended up delofted 2 degrees. He must have used the concrete floor to push because my brand new R580 had a dime sized scar on the bottom. Sorry... I paid another shop to fix it later. Why not take it back and have them make it right? Man, I would never go back to that shop for anything, even to make them fix their own errors. $15 and it was reset right by the now bankrupt Under Par Golf.

[bogushavis]

How about having some 20 year old 0 handicap jerk argue with me about the shaft I want? Never seen me swing and he can tell I can't swing that shaft. Been there twice.

JPBill2 wants to believe that he was a pro on a level with other trades that require years of training. But many of the issues I listed were done by people that I know had many years of experience. They just didn't give a damn.

[lilflabio]

what does tipping mean and is it necessary?

[bruceky9]

@lilflabio

tipping is cutting off the tip of the shaft, most of the time you have to tip the shaft just google the shaft you have and tipping instuctions and you should find it just match up what club you have example 5 iron and tipping for dynamic gold. If you dont tip it it will play softer than what it would have been if you should have tipped it .

[halfrican421]

Thanks great video, really helped. Liked ur kid in the back, made for some good laughs during the video.6:18(Mom I got this from the dentist : ) Funny. Don't forget to get your shaft spine aligned before install, makes a huge difference.
