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.

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
