Excellent video, i just got back from an iron fitting trying out different shafts (i have my own heads). They want over $1000 for shafts and installation on 8 clubs, just as much as a new set basically. Gonna try this soon! Thanks for the demonstration 👍

I only answer this with the caveat that no one should be paying money for this process. Huge waste. That said, if you want to do it yourself, best option is to have all the shafts orientated the same way whatever that may be. Again that said, never do it, definitely never pay for it. IMO

I re-shaft my 6-PW to one length to be honest it was quite easy to be honest, It was simple to build just a few essential tools, like club maker has, male sure you have the right epoxy, take your time and you will be quite surprised how you can save money doing it yourself. I did this about 6 months ago. So if you have the patience you will be quite surprised by your own ability. I would add though try it on an old club first to see how it works out for you. I let them all set for minimum of 48 hrs and make sure you line everything up. Do your research and practice you really won't need to go to the overpriced club fitters. Wouldn't recommend rushing it take your time.

Ive watched quite a few of your videos and i see you putting everything together, even rubber banding the grip on to check swing weight. But shouldn't you put your wrap or wraps of grip tape on the shaft to add butt weight. If your adding weight to the heads maybe a couple more grams to balance out the tape?
@EFGMC
@EFGMC 11 ай бұрын
You could but the dry fit is really just an estimation and more important in making sure all the clubs are the same or in a desired progression. No tape, but also no ferrule or epoxy so it usually balances out unless you are using bigger grips or extra tape in which case SW gets thrown off and might not be accurate for what you want.

This was my bad in how I edited the video together. I do the first club using the matching grip and SW it. Then measure same club again without grip and that that conversion and use it through the rest of the set so I can measure everything else without grip. It’s just a faster method for me.

I've done three sets of grip replacements (with solvent) since I got back into golf and started collecting wonderful old irons that don't hold much favor in the young crowd these days. I still love playing them, and the options I can afford with them. I have some ferrules to fix and one set of Haig Ultra's (Wilson-made) that I'm planning to reshaft. I hear the Fluid Feel shafts can be difficult to remove, but think I can manage. Do you have any insight on them-probably not something you see a lot of.

Good morning. Quick question. What's your opinion on shaft weight and flex through an iron set. Example. 4-pw 105 gram R flex tapered tip. Should I get additional wedge shafts in the same weight and flex for my gw, sw and lw? Are go with a little heavier shaft. What's the normal if you were building a complete set from say 4-lw
@EFGMC
@EFGMC Ай бұрын
Most better golfers will have similar weight in the wedges and the irons or will use slightly heavier weights. If your irons are 105, I'd go somewhere in the 105-115 range for wedge weight.

Not sure about the bore to ground difference between them though I think they are within a 1/4 inch at most. Grips I would either set each club down on ground after epoxying and check alignment before leaving to dry, or dry fit them, line up the grips so they look lined up and then put some sharpie lines on shaft and hosel you can use as guide.

Hey AJ I been watching a ton of your videos lately as I’m experimenting with my own clubs. Just a quick question, what are the shafting beads for and are they necessary? I reshafted my driver since it broke on the tip, I cut off 2 inches at the tip to the height of my liking and added 8 grams to the head just cause that’s what I had available to add. I used only JB weld original cold weld formula 24 hour epoxy. Would I need to redo this and add shafting beads to the epoxy?

@EFGMC

Depending on the shaft you are using (make and model) you will need to cut the tip a certain amount for each individual iron head it's going into. For example, you might need to cut the 5i shaft 2 inches and the 7i shaft 3 inches. The amount will be found on the shaft website usually.

I watched another one of your videos where you use the ruler and marked the butt end of the shaft to cut it. Could you possibly do a video on this? I still can’t wrap my head around why cutting from the tip makes sense considering .37 is the tip diameter.. if I cut at the tip wouldn’t that compromise that diameter? Thanks !

@EFGMC
@EFGMC Жыл бұрын
Best to have a sealed tip for the air to work properly. Tape might give you a tight enough seal, but if not the air will just go straight through the shaft and the process won't work. You can just rubberband the grip onto the butt end at the appropriate position and leave a little gap between the end of the shaft and the SW scale backstop to replicate the grip being installed. I only do that for one club and then just take measurements with no grip and convert all the numbers accordingly.

@@MikeSmith-er7sz Many clubs will end up having a slight shaft lean. I will counter rotate the shaft every 3rd time when using a shim because I do find the shims can sometimes warp and twist in the hosel, especially with the thinner shims. A rotation in the opposite direction seems to help some times. Also remember in some cases the hosel bore may not be perfectly straight which can lead to the same problem through no fault of yours.
