Repairing broken head

[MarkM]

I broke the head of my three wood last night, the shaft snapped right were it comes out of the head. It is a cheap club that came with the set I bought a couple years ago. I know I could take it to a golf pro shop to get it fixed but i would like to try doing it myself. How do i go about doing it? What is the best way to get all the carbon fiber out of the head? Can i just trim the shaft and use the same shaft?

graphite shat??? to get it out of the hosel all I do is take a torch to it and hit up the fibers. Then a drill smaller then the hosel hole will extract the mess. Reuse the shaft. Well if you want to play a considerably stiffer shaft--ok. Otherwise another shaft will do. Perhaps the pro shaft would have a cheap pull lying around. I've inherited plenty of them. Not had to put together.

It will cost you a grip (different shaft), a ferule, and some epoxy. Good way to learn how to build clubs. check out Golfsmith and search forum for procedure. It's a good time
