I know very little about re shafting clubs being honest i know nothing about it.
I have a G20 driver and its a very good club but Ive always had long drivers mostly TM and cobras.
Id really love if the G20 could be re shafted with a slightly longer shaft. The G20 is 45.75" id really like it be closer to 46.50". Its only three quarters of a inch but for me would make the difference.

My question is can the G20 be re shafted?

Cheers

The difference forme would be 30 yards further right :)

.... yes, it can be re shafted quite easily, or even simpler with a small shaft extender.

Unless you want to use a different shaft, just get a 'plug' put in - glued into the butt.

By far the simplest - and removeable if required.

Probably only cost you a few quid - plus the cost of a new grip.

Quite a few Pro shops would/should be able to do it. As it's not much more than re-gripping.

Just be careful when asking someone to glue a plug into your butt.

Don't forget your swing weight will go up by around 4 points too. It will feel heavier to swing and needless to say, it will be more difficult to control at added length.

Just got my club back from a well known golf shop that has extended it for me 1.25 inches.
Done a decent job i think had to have a new grip,
I'm fine with the extra weight length, cheers for ya help

You're playing your driver at 47"??? :eek:

Yes theres no problem for me with that using a 47 inch driver, i used to play with the cobra long tom the 48 inch driver and i could handle that fairly well but i never did quite like the head design it has a lower cc too.
G20 suits me really well now with that extra bit of length on it to so gonna be really nice
