Does one typically have to discard a shaft if he screws up? How many shafts did you have to discard when you started out?

I'm thinking about reshafting my woods and irons, but debating whether to buy the shaft extractor.

I remove the shafts from irons using my gas range and a pot holder. (A butane torch is less the $15, a heat gun $45 if you don't use gas.)

However, a local store only charges $80 to do the entire set, so I only change shafts myself doing wedges.

Woods I don't mess with.

Spending on equipment...

Depends on how involved you want to get. Both GolfWorks (via Golf Galaxy and Dick's) and Golfsmith have club component catalogs which feature golf shop equipment. Get a catalog and check out the tools.

For example, the GolfWorks Total Shop Set-Up Kit costs about $900, and is on sale for $649 in this year's catalog. The more basic Reshafting Kit is on sale for $469.

If you're interested in how-to, the GolfWorks Clubmaking Academy offers professional-quality schools on fitting, repairing and assembling golf clubs.

Steel shafts are fairly easy to pull. You just need a butane (or propane) torch. Heat for a minute or so, moving the flame back and forth so you don't discolor the hosel, and when the bond breaks the head should slide off. For graphite shafts I would definitely recommend a shaft extractor. Otherwise you'll almost certainly ruin the shaft. Depending on how many shafts you plan on pulling you can probably get by with a non-professional shaft extractor. Something like this should work http://www.ebay.com/itm/Golf-Club-Shaft-Extractor-Puller-More-Powerful-Model-/270983145220?pt=Golf_Clubmaking_Products_US&hash;=item3f17daa704

Tip:  A professional extractor  will shear the pins off old Hogans. Beats drilling!

Thanks to all for the details.

After more research, it sounds like too much hassle - I don't have enough time for it right now and found a local store that will reshaft with the shafts I provide.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
