Im going to try and fix one of my clubs and when I go to put the shaft back in the club I know im going to need epoxy. But do I have to use the epoxy from the golf store thats for the shaft or can I use a 5min or 30min epoxy from a hobby store. I have a ton of that stuff and was just wondering if its the same.

Thanks.

i used some 5 minute epoxy on a big driver head and new shaft. no problem after 2 years. the only thing i have seen in the golf fitter shops that may sometimes be useful are the tiny glass  beads but only if the shaft is a bit loose. IMO, any epoxy will work.

I always use a two part epoxy I get from golf suppliers. You don't have to, you can use any good epoxy. Just make sure it has a very high shear strength. Those fast epoxies are sometimes not as strong as the ones that take longer to cure, either, so be careful using something you got for cheap at a hobby shop.

    • I have that club and absolutely love it!
    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°. 
    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
