I have an old driver I want to get a new shaft put in (old one broke). The club is a $35.00 "Billy Club" I bought from Sams like 6 years ago. I don't think I have been able to hit my Taylor Made or Callaway as far as I used to hit this driver. I found the head in my garage over the weekend and thought I would just get it reshafted for the heck of it and see if I can still hit it.

What kind of shaft do you guys recommend and what is a good price? This is the first time I have done this and I don't want to get ripped off.

Thanks guys.

Choices are unreal in terms of what benefits the different shafts offer.

Unfortunately, I found that the price of reshafting is steep....at least in the shaft I wanted. I was going to reshaft my TM 300 but it was going to run around $135 or so. For $165 more I was able simply to order a new 460cc headed G10 with the exact shaft I was going to put in the old TM 300.

I'll keep the old driver as a good windy day back up driver....keeps it below radar no matter how I swing.

Shafts have really developed nicely over the past few years.....but so has the cost.

I'm not trying to talk you out of reshafting....simply saying you may want to consider the cost and look around at some new clubs, too. TGW, Edwin Watts, Golfsmith and etc are running huge discounts on two model year old brand new clubs with a wide array of shafts.....($125 and up). I almost went this route but I really wanted the V2 HL shaft and couldn't find it amoung these super bargains.

Good luck.

    • I am six and a half minutes into this video and honestly don't think I can handle any more of it. I do see some of my swing in his - sucks it inside and gets across the line at the top. He also looks like he comes OTT a little, but is then very in to out. That's probably my cluelessness about the swing showing up though. Did I hear him say he's 15* in to out? That's insane and not something I would think anyone would want to do. I'm surprised he put this out there if his goal is to sell his method to other people, you'd think he'd find someone good who uses it to model it, not himself.

    • I think that would fall under the general umbrella of "kinematics".  And I'm sure that @iacas will correct me if I'm wrong, but in many cases the handle will be almost motionless by the time the clubhead impacts the ball.  
    • I don't think it is called anything singularly specific in scientific terms other than how you described it. Some might call it a pendulum motion or something but that's probably super simplistic and not adequate description/definition. Of course, there's a whole gamut/combo of causal physics, biomechanics and geometry that results in the phenomenon.
    • As Erik says, he can correct the Wrong Place mistake by replacing the ball in its original location, see 14.5a, as long as he does it before making a Stroke at the ball.    I agree, and that's one of the worst aspects of being a rules official.  But its also an important part, I'm sure that player learned that one rule pretty clearly, and hopefully has learned to read the NTP and listen on the first tee.
