Hi there guys, after having my new grafalloy prototype hot pink golf shaft fitted to my ping g5 driver i have recently noticed that either the head is slowly coming loose or its just the hosel coming away from the head, the head is a .350 and the shaft tip is .335 but the place that fitted it said they do these adapter things that allow these different sizes to actually fit. after it came loose the first time i took it back to the range to have it re-placed, but the same problem has occured again and the hosel is about 1cm away from the club head and really looks like its going to come off, does anyone know where i could get a better job done?? within England...... cheers for any replies!

It really is sweet to look at, i have sooo many good things said about it on the golf course and especially at the driving range, i get sooo many strange looks at the golf range near me.... as i play cross handed for all my shots (yeah its unreal left hand below right for a right handed swing! haha) playing with a hot pink shaft just like bubbas and still manage to boom it 330, and who cares, as long as i can outdrive them all no-one can rip me for it haha, yeah its great, i just need it fixing properly

You might let Andrew Espin the pro at Disley GG Stockport have a look. I've used him for years for re-shafts that I can't/don't want to do myself. He is one of the old school who still loves clubmaking. Also you could have a word with Shaun at Midas Golf Huddesfield.

    • Many thanks.  I read a lot of those posts.   Man, that is really deep.  As an old beginner, during a lesson or on the driving range, I have hit a good shot, you know pretty straight and it goes say 130 yards (7 iron).  The very next swing, I dig a ditch behind the ball.  I know I didn't do the same things on both swings.  Even this last lesson I had, I would hit a pretty good shot, not so on the next shot.  The instructor would quickly point out, "Hey you stayed on your back foot" or "Guess what happened there.  You got all armsy or handsy".  Sort of feels like I need a checklist when I prepare to swing each time.  I can see it now before every swing, "Hey can you guys give me 10 minutes while I run through my checklist".  In all seriousness, I see what you all are saying.  I wouldn't be overthinking it so much if just I could make decent contact most of the time.  Next lesson is about two weeks away.  Can't wait.

    • I was going to link in the same think @snapfade did.  Your swing is already consistent, repeatable, except for nearly "microscopic" differences.  The more mechanically-sound your swing becomes, the smaller and less frequent those "microscopic" deviations become.
