Just did my first reshaft job

[Val]

Can't believe how easy it was, first 2 were a bit messy around the ferrules but quite happy with end result.

Now gaming a set of TM TP Forged CB with project x 5.5 and soon to have whiteout multi compounds.

Here's hoping I don't lose a head on the course

I used super glue quick setting epoxy.

i found similar when i started to do some grips the first couple were hard work and then it got easier.

i bought a couple of epxoy satchets off fleabay to fit TM adaptors to a couple of pulled kai'li shafts.

What tools do you have? A proper puller and so on?

Should be alright with that. Having done a few reshafts, personally I find Evostik Rapid to be the best (and easiest to melt of you need to pull them again).
Good work though mate, quality shaft you have in them bats now :thup:

You don't need a proper puller for steel, a heat gun some sand paper and a Stanley knife. New ferrules some epoxy and away you go.

Was going to post a thread about this.

What instructions or guidance did you follow? I've been thinking of having a tinker!

I tinkered with reshafting my old Titleists prior to buying the TM's of you, so now off to the range this weekend to see how they go.

I f you have 2 vices you can do it as long as one slides when your pulling the shaft ,its fairly straight forward i did it once a few years ago ,i used araldite 2 part epoxy, there's clips on YouTube showing you how, its very satisfying doing it yourself rather than spending a few quid getting it done elsewhere.

There's tonnes of info online, google and you tube are your friends for this.

Loads of advice all over the net as has been said. Some of it is common sense.
Main points are if you are doing steel, easy no special equipment needed (well apart from a heat gun/blow torch), graphite don't try to do without a puller.

indeed - and I would add, don't mess around with a vice; just wear an old (heavy) glove to grip and twist (we are talking steel) the warm head while holding the shaft by the grip. If it doesn't move easy just give it another few seconds heat to break down the old glue bond.

throughly clear/clean out the old heads - plumbers wire brush for cleaning the insides of 15mm copper is an excellent tool for this.

Gamola sell a nice wee range of wire brushes. I use a drill attachment one that cost about 7 quid and its brilliant. I do tend to mess about with a vice though as find it easier to have the ability to use both hands to twist with more control. Also some epoxys dont break down the same and some can be tough as boots even at high temp.
