Extraction of broken shaft

[LeftyHawk 188]

I was given this driver head, but as you can see there's some of the shaft left in the hossel.

Any thoughts on an easy to remove it after heating?

Just drill it out with a .335" bit.

I would not drill that out. Drills have a way of going sideways into the hosel and tearing the edges up. You just need to find an easy out or golf shaft extractor right around the size of the shaft little smaller. Lots of well placed heat, do not use propane it will burn the top of you club head. Use Butane, up and down about 15-20 seconds in each spot, then try the easy out. This can take some time, I've seen these devils set in there for 30 minutes of work. Best take it to a pro shop it worth the 20 bucks, buy a shaft they may do it for free.

I have used a drill bit before. Not a .335 one though. I used a 1/4" drill bit after putting some heat to it. With the right amount of heat and the smaller drill bit, it will come out whole without having to get close to the sides of the hosel.

Haven't been in that position, but the first thing I'd try is putting in a screw a little bigger than the inside diameter.  Hit it with the head gun and try to pull it out with some pliers.

I just finishing videoing this very topic. If you give me a day or two I can show you how.

Basically this.  Make yourself a nice pilot hole, carefully screw in appropriately sized lag bolt, heat and pull.

I’ve always just step drilled until it was pretty clean, then finished with a brush and sand paper
