So I was just playing a round recently and my 9I head flew off of my shaft. They are 1989 forged irons on a steel shaft, and I didn't take a divot so I'm assuming that the glue just let go due to how old that they are.

Is there a certain glue or anything that I need to buy to fix this, or something that I should be aware of? It shouldn't be a big deal since it's essentially like making a new club but I have zero experience with this...

You mean the shaft didn't break and the head just slid off? Clean the hosel and shaft and attach with the use of epoxy.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Good to know it really was as easy as I thought it was. Thanks!

I don't really have shaft cleaning type liquid shown in the video to make sure the epoxy is all cleaned off; is there anything special that I should pick up, or will something simple like soap and water work for me?

Same thing happened to day with my 6 iron. On the 3rd hole a Par 3 I'm hitting my 6 iron and right after contact it just flew off. Felt really weird. All of a sudden the club got 10 times lighter and I see the head of the club whistling into the woods.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

If it is steel you can sand off the old epoxy. Just make sure to sand it real good and get all of it off. Make sure also to clean out the clubhead as well. If old dried epoxy is around you will be doing this again shortly.

      Day 8 (28 Jun 26) - Worked with face position at address and overall setup - open/neutral/closed - and setting up for resulting shot shapes - using 8i and hard foam balls.  It was abbreviated as the thunder began to rumble. Got in about 20 swings before calling it.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
