Whatever you do, don't heat it up and twist it off. You have to pull off heads from graphite square. Take it to a club fitter who should only charge you $5-10. Unless you don't want the shaft that is fitted then you can use a small torch to heat up the hosel. golfclubshaftreview.com has a great DIY shaft instalation page which will help you remove the shaft if saving it is not an issue.

Ok, at 6'3 you are not a giant in the golf world. You may want to consider having your lie adjusted to upright by a couple of degrees. Have a look on golfclubshaftreview.com and the club length page. You will find some useful stuff there including shaft flex. Before going out and spending a ton on new clubs have a look on ebay and try and pick up a set of old ping eye 2 irons with upsight lies. You will be able to get them for a song and they are really great clubs for beginners and low handicap players alike. After developing your swing a little, decide what you want to spend you hard earned cash on. Best advice though, go see a good pro. Don't bother with young kids, go see a man who has had years of experience. You wont go far wrong. Good luck.

X Stiff, unless you can generate a lot of club head speed will hit the ball to the right. Lie angle will also affect the ball. Too flat and the toe will dig in and the ball will go right. Too upright and the heel will dig in and the ball will go left. The shaft will have more impact than lie but it is best to get fitted and get the correct set up for both shaft and lie. Check out golfclubshaftreview.com for a swing speed fitting guide. Good Luck

I just had a horrific round of bad putting. I have been using a Wilson 8813 for 25 years but I'm going to have to cheat on the old thing and move on for a while. Best ideas for a change? Bearing in mind I like the look of a blade and want to keep it simple.

Speculation that the new belly wedge is going to be launched may be true. To see the first trial, go to http://www.golfclubshaftreview.com/everything-else.html

Go with to 10.5 and get a lower launch shaft. It will be a more forgiving club on the bad days but still play great on the good.

What is the weight of the shaft you use now and then go from there. If you have that swing speed with a heavy shat then go for the 81 gram. If you have that swing speed with a lighter shaft then go with the 71gram

Extra Stiff requires a strong swing. The shaft weight and torque have to be considered. This is where it can get confusing. My advice now is to do a lot of research. good luck

Check out the shaft fitting guide page on golfclubshaftreview.com it has a simple chart to help you figure out what swing speed you have and what shafts to fit.

Keep your irons, 3-9 the same. Wedges can be different. Winn Dri Tac are nice a soft and great for feel around the greens. The grips on my wood and hybrids match my irons but it wont matter if they dont. Although, try to keep the woods the same as one another. Do a little research on grips before fitting. Depending where you live, wet or dry, can make the difference between holding on for dear life or keeping a good grip if conditions are poor.

That is a great Driver swing speed for 72 and still playing well, good job. This may help you out a little. There is a really simple shaft fitting guide chart on golfclubshaftreview.com that will really help you figure out what weight shaft will best suit your swing speed and get you on the right track. Hope this helps

Just picked up a Dave Pelz Teacher Puter #400 PAT4130282. Does anyone know what it could be worth?

Use a hack saw an leave the grip on. Remember, the shaft stops short 1/4" from the top if the grip. The top 1/4" is just rubber. If using a pipe cutter, remove grip, tighten up till it does not slip and then spin the cutter. Tighten lightly every few turns. Go to golfclubshaftreview.com for a full DIY shaft replacement guide.

If money is tight and you have some DIY skills, you can always (if parallel shafts are fitted) tip cut the shafts and add extentions to the butt end. This will cost you the fraction of the price. This is not the prefered method but will be a lot cheaper and you'll learn about club fitting in the process. check out the DIY shaft installation page on the golfclubshaftreview.com website. You'll also find shaft information and trimming information. If taper tip shafts are fitted you can put the 9 iron shaft in the 8 iron, 8 iron in the 7 and so on. You'll only need to buy a new 3 iron shaft All you'll really need to do all this is....... 1) small blow torch 2) a small pipe cutter 3) 2 pack epoxy resin 4) tape measure 5) Acetone 6) sand paper or grinding wheel 7) Some shaft extentions 8) some new grips. All this can be picked up cheaply online or local golf store. Good luck

When looking into shafts, there is only one way to truely find which one worksbest for you and that is try it out. This can be costly and time consuming. The second way is research.
