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
