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
I Have watched many videos of how to put a shaft into a club head .But when it comes to the DRIVER HEAD No one seems to show how to be sure the club head is square on the shft ? Easy for the experts who do it day in day out but for a DIY Guy ??
Yes, installation of driver/wood shafts is more tedious than irons, and there is definitely a benefit to taking them in and getting them “spine aligned” properly. Professional clubmakers have a special machine that does this, and for the serious golfer, it is worth paying a little extra money for. Even irons can be “spine aligned”, but the effects of this alignment are far less than a driver, and therefore, is usually not necessary.
