Hey everyone, I am pretty new to golf and a buddy of mine gave me his Ping i20 9.5 driver. Unfortunately, the shaft broke just at the head of the driver leaving the graphite jammed inside of this piece that has two ridges on it that mounts into two other holes inside the driver head opening. I need to buy this piece, however, I’ve researched all over and am not sure what the name of it is. I asked a dicks sporting goods associate and he said it’s a ferrule, but it doesn’t look like a ferrule.

It is a shaft tip adaptor sleeve.

I'm not 100% sure, but what you may have is a "counter balance" adapter used by Ping.

How did you remove that part from the driver head?  

If you live in the US give Customer Service a call - 1-800-474-6434

Re-shafting versus buy another used?
Unless I had a specific shaft to replace, I would probably just buy another.

There is a chance that piece was not designed to be removed.  The adapter sleeve is a black plastic component, so this is a different part.  Does the adapter sleeve fit inside of this piece when it's installed in the hosel?

 I’m not sure if it’s meant to be removed or not, but the two posts on the end of it drop into the hosel to fit into the two holes and then the shaft goes into the piece with the two posts. This driver is not adjustable to all it has is a nut to tighten or loosen to take apart. It’s a shame if I have to buy a new one because this driver head is in good shape.

I removed it from a forget what size wrench but I loosened it up with the wrench because that’s all it takes to take apart the driver head from the shaft. Plus he epoxy wasn’t strong enough which is why I believe it snapped at the tip.

It looks like a shaft adapter to the head. The shaft may get glued to the adapter and the bolt or screw keeps the head and shaft together. Is there a possibility that this is a demo club head for fitting that was made for quick shaft changes? If so, it seems strange that someone is using it as a gamer.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
