Golf Club Shaft Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide will show you how to replace the shaft of a golf club. New golf clubs are expensive, so it is very common to buy golf clubs second hand. A second hand club with a worn out, loose, or warped shaft not only deems itself almost useless, but if used, it prevents a danger in the form of the club head flying off of the shaft swing. Oftentimes, it is recommended to take one’s golf club to a specialty repair shop where they can charge you anywhere from $50-$250 to do these simple steps.

      • Take some sand paper and sand the shaft past your mark leading to the tip.
