Just bought a Titleist 906F2 5W. Wanted to get it with a steel shaft but they only had graphite in stock, had a few shots with it and liked it enough to buy it. Got the UST V2 shaft. After playing a few rounds with it I'd like to switch it to a steel shaft.

Anyone had this done before? not necessarily the 906F2 but has anyone had a wood reshafted from graphite to steel? I presume it's a no brainer as the 906F2 is available in steel.

I also assume moving from a 86 gram shaft to a 130 gram shaft (assuming a Dynamic Gold S300) will require shortening the club a bit to maintain swingweight. I'm guestimating a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.

Any advice, thoughts?

I owned the 906 F2 5 wood with the Aldila NV stiff 75g. I found that it went pretty straight with that shaft, but your swing speed might be higher than mine. I'm around 95 with a driver. I've hit the 906 with a steel too and didn't like it at all. Same with the 585H. I think these clubs were weighted best for graphite. I used to play steel in all woods up to a couple years ago and I still prefer steel to some degree, but I didn't like it with these heads. On the flip side, I still own a 19 Taylor Made Rescue Mid in stiff steel that is way better than the graphite version.

It shouldn't be a problem if you take it to a good club maker. The shaft should only cost $15 at the most + labor

Thanks for the insight boodaboy16. I have the 585.H 21 in steel and absolutely love it. My 3W is also steel and love that. I generally just prefer the extra weight of steel, lightweight graphite shafts just put me off... maybe it's a tempo thing??

I bought the 906 with graphite 'cos from reading the specs (and also no steel in the shop the UST V2 has a similar torque and kick-point to the Dynamic Gold's. Thought I'd give it a shot and see how it would go. Distance is great, slightly longer than I was looking for though, it's encroaching on my 3W a bit, so steel is probably the way to go anyway to bring it back 10-15 yards or so. Thing is my consistency with the graphite, sometimes it draws when I want a fade and vice versa. I just can't seem to get the timing right unless I really hold back on the throttle, in which case it only goes as long as my 585.H hybrid.

This is probably not a good example, but I did have a TM Bubble Burner reshafted from graphite to steel back 7-8 years ago. Any good club maker who knows what they are doing should be able to take care of this for you. FWIW, I still have Dynamic Gold in my Titleist 904 3W. I've tried graphite (including with my

review of this rocket launcher ) but for some reason always come back to steel. Personal preference I guess.

      My Swing (woodzie264)

      By woodzie264 · Posted

      I believe I have finally figured out the grip! And I can tell a difference when it’s not right. I’d like to thank Erik for all of his patience and my supporters @GolfLug & @boogielicious for being there in my low spots. Of course, my wife & kids for the hours spent watching me grip a club incorrectly, quietly mocking me but not out loud.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By iacas · Posted

      There's no such thing as the spirit of the rule. And, you do realize how insanely small the time window and the level of water is for water to come up with one person standing there but not another person, right? It's basically never going to actually happen like that. There are lots of rules like this: a 7' tall person's knee height drop is from higher up than a 4' tall junior's drop. Their driver is also longer, so they get a larger relief area. What are you gonna do? Beyond that, my reply to you is the same as @DaveP043's: write a better one. This one is easy to understand and enforce. The penalty for playing from a wrong place is two strokes, so no, it's not significant. In that sense, the potential advantage must be > 2 strokes. No, it's not "irrespective of it." That's why the penalty exists. If it's significant, it's a DQ, which is the ultimate penalty. See above. They don't need to judge that. No, he didn't. He could have taken one stroke to drop in the same place. This was already stated. Instead, he paid two. Of course they do.

      Physics

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, a ball going faster will go farther… but it's nearly impossible for "all other parameters" to remain the same. "A ball going faster with the same of everything else will go farther" is pretty rudimentary stuff. The entire swing. The handle moves the whole time. The golf swing is a matter of both translational and rotational forces. And yet it's also kicked out a little, as it's not directly behind the motion of the hand path at that instant.
