Shaft extenders

[Gambler]

I recently got new irons, but they are standard length. I need 1.5" added to them. I ordered some shaft extenders and wondered if anybody here can give me advice on installing them. I know the basic procedure, I'm looking for tips. I practiced on an old club, but I'm still not sure how secure it will be in the long run.

This is what I did:
1. Removed old grip/grip tape
2. Mixed up the epoxy
3. Rolled the extension in the epoxy
4. Inserted the extension into the shaft
5. Tapped the expansion insert into the center of the extender
6. Waited 24 hrs
7. Trimmed the extension
8. Regripped the club

When I grab the extension and torque it i hear a faint click or squeak as if it is moving some. Did I not use enough epoxy? Thanks.

When you dry fit the extenders, did the fit tightly into the end of the shaft or was there some play? They should be tight. Tight enough that there should be no movement.

The glue isn't what makes the extenders stable. It is only there to prevent the extender from being pulled out of the end of the shaft. Heck, if the extender is fitted properly, you could probably get away without any glue at all since the grip itself would hold the extender in (not that I'd recommend that.)

In other words, if there was some wobble/looseness when you dry fit the extender, not amount of glue will be strong enough to hold it steady (given the torque you are putting on it right at the end of the club.) If the extender is loose/wobbling, you need to remove the grip, remove the extender, and replace it with one that fits.

Or you could live with the clicking noise. Probably OK with a steel shaft. A loose extender will damage a grahite shaft.

Thanks for the reply. The extender's I'm using are the universal ones from GolfWorks, you insert it, then tap this plug into the bottom and the "fingers" on the end of the extension expand to make a tight fit. Once I had done this, I couldn't pull the extension out.
