I think that at some point I may have to, but until I do resharft some golf clubs, your channel is my education.

This is the knowledge I've been looking for on the ping centering ferrules, I didn't want to be stuck with that just black ferrule. I have some Osaka blue ferrules from bbfco coming that will look great.

Agree 100%…centering ferrules can be a nightmare…shims are great to ensure a tight fit…thanks!!!!💪🏼👍🏻

Exactly the situation I have. With the ferrule brand I’m buying. Same shaft, only in doing with the 101T. This answered my question completely.

AJ, thank you for all the lessons! Listening to you has given me the confidence to reshaft my first set of old cobra irons. The process is quite satisfying. I also don’t feel bad if I mess up a cheap set irons. I don’t think there is much that would ruin the heads if I take it slow and steady.

Excellent Video, just about to build some pxg irons with different ferrules... Was very helpful

There's always something new to learn when I visit this channel. Thanks AJ

Really appreciate all of your help!!! I have been watching a lot of your videos recently!! I have been around the game my whole life and my mother was a golf professional so I have had the opportunity to learn from her and many others general club repair. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and wisdom!! Your videos and explanations are fantastic!!

I have loads of brass shims in my workshop, and use them often. What I find interesting in using a taper tip shaft in a parallel hosel, ive always tried to match the hosel fitting up with the shaft. This opens up a few more doors. Thank you.

I've been a subscriber for several months and must say that you do an excellent job of conveying interesting information! I enjoyed seeing that Club Scout freq meter on your workbench. I have one with the torque measuring attachment that I used all the time until I gave up clubmaking a few years ago. It's not a sleekly designed piece of equipment but it definitely works well!

Very, very helpful tip

You are the best! Thanks AJ.

Great video, 👍🏻 watching it all come together and how the shims come into play.

Great tips as always

Interesting what you said about Callaways. I had a rogue 5w break the shaft off right at the hosel. When I dressed the tip to rebuild it had so much room. Had to end up cutting 1 or 2 of the legs off the shim to get it in the hosel but it's worked great. Word of warning on graphite shafts, be careful when trying out the fit, the shim can polish the raw graphite a little. Not sure if it would make a difference but not worth finding out!

Excellent tip

Thanks for this video. Bought some pxg ferrules and didn't work well at all.

I’m just about to re-shaft a set of PXG’s and just purchased a set of brass shims. Great content although I’m guessing you’ve made that look easier than it actually is. 🤞

Thank you! It worked out well. Can you do a video on using fishing line as a centering option over brass inserts. Or the sheet rock tape? I can’t get it to stop riding up. There isn’t any info online

AJ, please consider building some New Level clubs. They are clubsmith friendly as they sell heads only and have great forged iron heads. I am not an ambassador, just strong on their products.

Hello and thank you so much for these videos! Have learned so much, changed shafts in my wedges using your method and (hopefully) it has worked out very well ! Now, over to a bit more complicated process as you had a video on. My PXG irons. Bought a new set of Nippon shafts which are .335 TP. There are quite a bit of different information (conflicting as well) about the PXG hosel. Do you know the acutal size ? The reason for asking is that i'm sure I get the right ferrules hosel - .335. And as you have said, don't really want to use those black cheap looking Ping ferrules. From this video and the Ping reshafting video I seen that the brass shims are the way to go anyways, and the process seems easy enough. Way easier than the colared ferrel which every store say it a must buy.. Starting off the project this week, do you have any tips for me regarding this? Never done a proper reshafting before. Thank you so much for all you easy to follow videos on the topic ! Greatings from Norway!

Great club-building knowledge as always, thanks. Besides the constant weight feature by using tapered shafts to fit parallel hosel, is there any other benefit for doing so？ Also, while shim can fill the gap, wouldn't such make the club to play softer because the shaft tip is smaller than it is supposed to be？ Thanks！

Good morning A J. Great stuff. Where can I find more information about these Lakomo heads. Looking forward to when you do analysis on these heads. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I am trying to build a 3 iron using an old .370 shaft and a TM RAC LT head. I measured the shaft to confirm .370 OD and the ID of the hosel measures .385. There is some wiggle at .015 difference and I am thinking that I would want to add .006 shims to make up the difference (.006 x 2 = .012 leaving space for epoxy. What gives me pause is that there is a centering piece at the bottom of the hosel I’m guessing to allow for a better fit? How would the shaft shims work to accommodate that? Would I be better off using universal brass shim material allowing for the centering piece to fit inside the shaft? Love the channel, watching your videos helped me to build my current irons!

Hey AJ what a brilliant video this is exactly what im going to do with my Pings.. quick question though do you still add glass beading to the apoxy mix? Many thanks, Rob

Desperate for an answer. I am installing a .335 graphite shaft into a Ping K15 three wood with a .35 hosel. Purchased two brass shims, but with one shim the shaft still has too much play. Did a dry run with two shims, and the fit is perfect. Before I glue, is it ok to install the shaft with two shims? Cannot find an answer to this anywhere. My prep of the hosel and shaft is perfect, and am ready to glue pending an answer. Love all your tutorials. Very easy to follow. Greetings from down under. Peter and Pam.

Thank you , appreciate the videos. A quick question, changing graphite shafts between 2 driving irons. One has .355 and the other .370 diameter. Attaching the brass shim to the .355 to fit the .370 graphite shaft will not affect the structure or performance in anyway? thanks

Hi Mobile' I'm fitting pullout .335's into .350 bore Callaways (fws and drivers)...will I have to use those 'troublesome' centering ferrules ? - I guess brass shims are out of the question for Bore Thrus. Golfworks said the ferrule adapters work fine with no issues, but I can't stand the look of the ferrules either.

Hi AJ. Great content as usual. Really enjoy watching. Those heads , to me , look like they are designed based on Bridgestone j40 heads I am reshafting said irons 5- pw with graphite I have got some graphite shafte extensions as my shafts are all 7 iron length. Would it work if I add these to two shafts and cut down to suit for 5 and 6 iron. Or have I wasted my money.

What do you do if the head is tapered and the shaft is a parallel tip and too big to go into the head ... Thanks

How well do they work if using a tip weight? How much space do they take? Less shaft in hosel when you add a weight and a shim.

I have a TM M2 iron apart. 0.370 with centering ferrule. With the ferrule off, it still wobbles. Shaft measures 0.365-0.370. Installing 0.355T shafts and have brass shims on order. Concerned it might not be enough. What other options available? Double up on brass shims? Ping oversized ferrule?

Any considerations for swing weight when adding shims? I usually use them taped on with the hosel when dry swing weighting. Also, what do you do when tapered tip shafts and tapered hosels are still loose. Still use shims but trim them or centering beads?

The question I have is regarding the club build. I notice you didn’t use a tip weight. Did the all the club components equal the right swing weight? How often is a tip weight needed when building club if you’re trying to get just the standard swing weight.

What size of bbf ferrules did you use? .355 or .370? Im wanting to change my pxgs with some px lzs but will a .355 ferrule sit flush with the pxg head?

How about some tips on removing them when replacing a shaft. I found one in my last shaft swap, it was a pain to get out.

Is using these for .355 graphite iron shafts for .370 hosels ok? Or would you not recommend that?

Should I put brass shim on .355 taper tip going into callaway apex pro?

Lovely. Can you tell me what i need to build clubs myself? Like machines, equipment etc etc. Or where to order? Thanks in advance

And when re-using a graphite shaft that already has a tip weight glued into it.... Do you need to remove this tip weight to allow for air to pass through the shaft before reshafting into new head? Thanks

I'm going to reshaft my Takomo 101's with KBS Tour Lite Stiff shafts, do you think I'll need to use shims?

Would I be right in saying I would order the 0.350-0.370 shim for project x lz taper to fit in I230

Can you use these shims on a 350 adapter going on a 335 tip

... is there an extra long brass shim that fits snug with bore thrus maybe ? I could just grind off the bottom, like....

Hi, do you have any recommendations of where to buy used or new golf club making tools? I’m on a tight budget and looking to start my own shop. Thanks!! -thegolfguy

Did you aline the shaft centre line and face before the apoxy set

Hi AJ, if I don't have the solvent you use, what can I use as a substitute?

The shims that PXG sells are so much better to let you no

May I ask, what is the glass container called you use to hold acetone? Thank you.

Will it be easy to remove the shaft?

No epoxy into the head?

Keep it up"Nice.!!! This channel desperately needs P-R-O-M-O-S-M!

Nerd alert 😉
