Snapped iron shaft help

[Fabia999]

Hi all,

Just played my mid week comp, hit a shot and caught my 8i and caught the trolley on waving my club afterwards.

I’ve snapped it near the head so obviously need a new shaft. I have 2018 Cleveland launchers, how do I go about getting the same shaft?

Any advice?

Thanks

What does the label on the shaft say? You should be able to go to a reputable club repairer and get a like for like replacement.

It’s a Miyazaki C.Kua 6A Flex 3333 shaft. With it being from 2018 is it possible to order the same shaft?

Thanks for reply

Have a decko around on ebay. There was one seller selling Miyazaki Kua shafts a while back.

Send Cleveland an email and the shaft manufacturer.
Ask them do they have any spares.
Google shaft installers ,might take some time but you just might find one.

If you cannot find a new shaft and have long irons which you do not use you could take the shaft out of the longest and tip trim to an 8 iron (minus half an inch for each drop in club head head). Alternatively around ebay for a long club to do the same with.

Appreciate the replies. I got my irons at GolfWorx at Boldon GC and the guy there is great. Emailed him and he was straight on it, haven't heard anything back yet but I'm hopeful. I got my set down to a 5i but I never use that so thats a possibility.

When I snapped my 7 iron shaft against a tree (accidentally I might add), I took it to my club pro who was able to fix it for me.

did they fix the shaft or replace it? also was it steel or graphite?

I have seen some club pros repairs that took a bit of of.............

e.g I bought one set of clubs with a 6 iron shaft in both the 5 and 6 iron when I queried it with the seller he said the pro had done and it must be correct. Took a lot of arguing for me to get back the cost of fitting the correct shaft.

It was a steel shaft, and they were able to replace it without any issues. If memory serves me right, it was a True Temper Light or ML in my Mizuno MX900 irons.

Bumping an old thread of mine.

The club pro said that shaft is not stocked anymore. I bought an 8i from a newer model of Cleveland launcher which has done but I’m reluctant to use it which is leaving a big gap in my bag.

Has anybody got any ideas?

Cheers!

Take the shaft out of the newer head and put it in the old one!

Have you checked eBay for the old shaft? A 7 or 9 iron could be made to work quite easily

You've been playing without an 8 iron for an entire year nearly??

I was told that I couldn’t cut down a longer iron as it wouldn’t play right? Does that sound correct?

It feels like it. I bought an 8i from a 2020 model of the same irons so it doesn’t look the same. It’s standard length and it just doesn’t feel right.

No it doesn't. If you look at shaft manufacturers websites most give trimming instructions.
