Anyone re-shafted a Fairway wood?

[Redwood]

If so, which epoxy did you use?

Did you use the glass beads as well?

Just bought Craw's Javln FX shaft and a G10 3 wood off a mate (which has a reg shaft) and wanted to pull the Ping TFC and stick the Javln in.

Any advice would be warmly welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

My advice is get a pro to remove the shaft, especially since its a graphite shaft. Its easy to remove a steel shaft yourself but I would seriously recommend that you use a shaft extractor for a graphite shaft.

Glass beads will not be required for the Javln shaft, its a 0.350 tip and will fit in nicely to the G10 head.

If the pro is removing the old shaft I cant imagine he'll be any more expensive to fit the new shaft, its just a good dod of Araldite!

Need anything else just PM me. Or Bob, after all he is PGA qualified.

At Our club our Pro would only charge me £10 max to pull the old shaft and insert the new shaft

This is what most pros use.

Don't be tempted to get the fast drying stuff, it's too brittle.

Roughen up both the shaft and hosel to create a key for the glue to grip and apply plenty to both hosel and shaft.
Twist together firmly so the glue gets an even spread, wipe off the excess and leave overnight preferably.

Bob,

What would you use to roughen the shaft and hosel.

Sandpaper on the shaft, but what for inside the hosel?

If my Pro can do it for a tenner, of course, all of this is redundant as I'll pay him to do it, but I'm not sure he offers this service.

 

[bobmac]

All PGA pros will offer this service if they have a workshop.
Just use a piece of rolled up sandpaper and twist it in the hosel.

what are the glass beads for? Though I've never changed a shaft I've also never heard of them.
