Glued in adapter?

[Andyconn]

I've a mizuno st200 fairway,that I mistakenly glued the adaptor in! Anyone any ideas to remove it,I have a new adapter,just can't shift the old one!

Ask your pro, but I'd imagine using heat, a solvent or drilling it out .

The adapters are removed by heating them to the point where the epoxy glue breaks down same as removing a head from a shaft. You have to be careful with graphite shafts because it is the same epoxy holding the layers of the shaft together and sometimes the shaft tip 'explodes'.

Use a clothes steamer, or something that can give a reliable constant source of steam. It won't damage any element of the club but it will allow the epoxy to break it's hold and you to detach the shaft etc.

I am presuming that the OP was not aware that some manufacturers use a different adapter for drivers/ fairways and hybrids.
