How to Extend a Golf Shaft

Extending a golf shaft is a useful technique to have if you are buying used clubs, or if you are experimenting with different club lengths.  If you know how to cut a golf shaft or how to extend it, you don’t ever have to worry about purchasing the correct length of clubs on Ebay or other used club marketplaces.

If you play a 34″ putter, and want to purchase a Scotty Cameron on Ebay, imagine how many more options and low prices you will have knowing that you can purchase any length of putter!

Before starting this tutorial, you must:

• Save or cut the grip of the club off
• Remove any excess grip tape

After extending the shaft, you must:

• Measure the shaft length
• Cut to your desired length

Materials Needed

• Extension (You could also use an old golf shaft)
  • Make sure you purchase the right size extension.  You need to know the “butt diameter” of the shaft that you are extending, and purchase the extension that matches.  Here is a database of shafts.
• Brampton Pro-Fix 20/20 Epoxy
• Paper Towels
• Acetone
• Epoxy Board (or something smooth to mix epoxy on)
• Something to mix epoxy with (I use the end of a paintbrush)
