Not knowledgeable about club repair/building. Do I need to get a new shaft or can I just reglue the clubhead to the same shaft?

If the only problem is the ferrule is loose, then just glue it back in place.  A 2-part epoxy from Ace Hardware will do as that is what is used to adhere the shaft into the clubhead.  But I would think most any other of adhesive would keep it in place, like model glue or crazy glue or.....??

When I was about 14 I bought a Titanium 454 CC Driver from some terrible site for about $24... as you might expect it was a real pile of crap and the head fell off not 2 months later. Anyway I glued it back on with crazy glue and used it for 3 more years before my Uncle had mercy on me and bough me a real driver but I still have that old piece of Junk and the crazy glue is still holding it together.

Wow, that is impressive glue!

So it's just aesthetic? Than I'll just let it wander around. As long as the clubhead stays attached, than I'm good. My 5 iron head came off shortly after the ferrule came loose, so I made an assumption.

Is the ferrule loose or is the head coming off the shaft?

sounds like the ferrule, the black plastic ring above the club right?  It's not necessary, you can glue it on with crazy glue, it won't have an effect on club performance, just makes the construction look clean.  Unless, it's actually stuck on the shaft good, then I'd check to see if the head was loose, put some torque on the club and shaft and see if there's any cracking or give in it's connection.

Tried the torque test. Doesn't look like there's any give or cracking. My 5 iron head came of ~5 years ago, so the 6 iron is probably good. Thanks.

The ferrule is just there for looks.  The club would work the same without it.  Glue it back down if it bothers you.
