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.

It is important to know the proper technique for removing a graphite shaft. A graphite shaft could be ruined forever if removed by the conventional twist and pull method that we use for steel shafts.

If you can afford it, I would recommend using this shaft puller for better results.
