New shafts

[TN94z]

i was thinking about going with some Project X shafts in my irons and I was wondering if this was something I could install myself? I have never done this before but wouldn't mind learning how so I can do all my own stuff at the house as a hobby. Should this be an issue? Anyone have any good links for this process?

Also, what would be the basic setup as far as tools or equipment is concerned?

First off, I have never done club work so please don't take my word as set in stone, I'm just learning and starting also.

To pull the shafts you'll need a shaft puller. You possibly will need new grips because you might have to cut your old ones off to get any epoxy rattling around in the shaft. Of course you will need the shafts, and an epoxy kit. I think that is pretty much all you need, but please don't buy anything till someone who has done this before chimes in.

Don't worry, I will research it thoroughly before buying anything. As far as the grips go, I think I will just put new grips on but might try to save these. Thanks for the info

Just to change shafts you will need.
A bench vise
Rubber pads to hold the shaft in the vise
Heat gun or torch - to heat and loosen epoxy bond.
A good glove to grab the head and twist off while still hot.
If changing steel shafts only no shaft puller is needed, but required if pulling graphite shafts.
A wire brush or equivalent to remove cured epoxy from the heads.
A good shaft cutter
A 48” ruler to measure shaft length
A ferrule installation tool to make that easyer.
Ferrule’s
A good 24 hour cure shafting epoxy
Grips, grip tape and solvent.

Acetone to finish the ferrule to the hosel fit- Not needed but makes the install look better

All this can be found at golfworks.com along with basic instructions for re-shafting.
