In this series, you will learn the basics of clubmaking and gain the skills required to re-grip, re-shaft, and fix your golf clubs at home.

Using epoxy to install a shaft is not a difficult task, but I think some people get a bit confused when dealing with different types of golf clubs. Putters are fairly easy to do, but when re-shafting irons and woods, we have to install the ferrule as well, which is a bit confusing to the novice.

Materials Needed (Installing a shaft without a ferrule i.e. putters)

Pro-Fix 20/20 Long Cure Epoxy
Ferrule
- Make sure you purchase the correct size! Click here for a shaft size guide
- Driver/wood ferrules are shorter than iron ferrules
- Putters do not need ferrules
Drill Driver and Small Drill Bit (for removing old epoxy inside the shaft)
Epoxy Board (or some smooth surface to mix the epoxy on)
Something to mix the epoxy with (end of a paintbrush, nail, screwdriver)
Coarse Sand Paper (80 Grit works fine)
Golfworks Hosel Cleaner (Optional- rolling up a piece of sandpaper works just fine)
Acetone
Paper Towels
