DIY Golf Club Repairs

I think a simply epoxy is the main ingredient needed for affixing heads to shaft. There two tubes, when you push the plunger the mixtures start to mix together. Get a spatula and mix them together well. The gooey mixture warms up and you have a few minutes to work with that before it starts to harden. It's fairly easy to work with. But wear old clothes when you do this as it's easy for a drop or two to get on to something you care about.

Shafting beads sounded kinky. So I got these to sprinkle on to the epoxy when shafting my irons. They do something helpful. I can't remember what the somethings was though, whether that was increasing the bond or helping with alignment.

I added new ferrules on irons. You'll probably need to buy these online. These are for the look only, but irons look untidy without them.

To de-shaft just add heat and some twisting action, the heat breaks down the hardened e-poxy enough that a few twists should be all that needed to break the bond. Light blow torch usage, heat gun. If you've a gas cooker at home that can be used. If it's winter and you've an open fire, you can just let the heads heat up over the fire which I've done before.

Steel shafts are easy to work with. Reshafting of fairway woods could be delicate, particularly the heating aspect, as there's the potential to easily damage the graphite shaft. I'd suggest you should get proper advice (ie: not me!) if you are trying to de-shaft fairway woods.

Again, from memory, so take with a pinch of salt (or glass beads!) there's two different shaft thicknesses, and they are very similar but not compatible with each other. So check that the shafts and heads are the same spec, and also buy the correct size ferrules.

There was not too much to it from my experience.
