TSauer Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) 6 minutes ago, DeBartola_B said: I ordered a couple of uncut shafts to do a self fitting for a driver. The manufacturer specs indicate to cut the shaft from the butt end. I have bought a hacksaw to cut it with and watched a few YouTube videos. Seems easy enough but wanted to see if anyone has done this before and has any tips. Shafts come in this weekend I am planning on cutting them down, attaching an adapter and new grip. I’ll post pictures when done. Put some blue masking tape over the area you are cutting to help prevent splintering and go slow and you’ll be golden. If you have a blade specifically for graphite that would be ideal, but not absolutely necessary as long as you have a decent high tooth blade. I use one of these on my hacksaw.

Going a little different and going the graphite route for these. Not sure how I feel entirely, but thought I would give it a try! Why? Because I can! Are you rusting out the heads also? I have the 659 CB and have been thinking about switching over to graphite shafts. I don't have any experience with graphite shafts in my irons so I'm a little nervous about it.

Pete Player Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I don’t know, if it counts, but I reshafted a couple old wedges with their orginal shafts, when the iron set shafts were pulled out from the used heads replacing them into new wedge heads. I did it with Bison Quick epoxy, which has 100 kg tensile strength. The Metal adhesive 2-compound would’ve had 300 kg. I was wondering how much force is applied on mishits across the glue between the hozel and shaft across the shaft axis?And what brands of adhesives do they use in the tour trucks, when they quickly assemble a club for team players at a tour stop?Another question is, what would be the best practice to pull a shaft without proper clubsmith vice?

I am going to assume you mean graphite? You really want the pull to be in as straight a line as possible so you don't damage the shaft, that's why extractors are recommended. I have seen some made from bottle jacks that are a little cheaper if you didn't want to spend a lot.

I have seen some made from bottle jacks that are a little cheaper if you didn't want to spend a lot.Actually I was thinking steel, cause I play steel myself. Graphite work is familar due other hobbies and I wouldn’t pull a graphite without proper equipment. The risk of making a minor crack is too high and a pence worth repair will suddenly cost a new shaft at least. Quote If there is a risk, take it! AND RECOVER the best you can!
