I know it happens. I've watched a club making friend remove and replace lots of heads/shafts etc. I've had a head fly off. I'm just saying given the prices they are now charging for clubs (Ping Ansers $1500!) it shouldn't, but of course it will.

Surely that's not the case with Mizunos.  They're perfectly engineered and constructed by samurai blacksmiths trained for a lifetime in the art of grain-flow forging.  He must have bought a fake.

You should take the clubs to a golf store and have them clean off the old epoxy, rough up the shaft and inside of the hosel again, and then reapply the epoxy...It might take them 3 minutes to do it.

Exactly............it's a 1 minute fix.  If you send the club back to the manufacturer, you may not see it again for 6 weeks!   If you take it to where it was purchased, they'll fix it on the spot.
