Great stuff! I always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.
Great instructional video, AJ! Thank you for sharing!
Is it true that the longer the set time the better the bond..?
PXG clubs do use a collared ferrule to "adapt" taper tip into the parallel hosel (along with another piece at the tip of the shaft). Only one that I see that needs something special.
So this seems a bit off to me. brand new ping i525 have collared ferrules. pull the shaft, put straight back in and it has wobble without the collared ferulle. ping didnt need a shim, why should i use a shim instead of the correct ferrule?
AJ, I have a 35" toulon putter. Can it be cut down to 33s " ?
Have you made a video highlighting all the necessary items needed to put together your own set of irons? For example, shafting beads. Or, what you need if the hozel diameter is bigger than the shaft tip. Type of epoxy, etc. It would be cool to see a list. If you already made one can you point me to it?
The stressfull re-shaft session I ever had was using Gorilla Glue epoxy, away too fast setting.
Highly recommend the 24hr epoxy for any more than 1 club if it's your first time. I had 2 wedges and the epoxy was hardening by the time I got to the 2nd one while i was making sure the shaft was in place and lined up how I wanted. Had to rush to mix more and was unnecessary stress on a relatively easy job. Great info about the ferrule too
Nice work!!! In my country we don't have those glass beads. So in case to need some, may I replace it with a tiny bit of sand?
I suspect that collared hosels were introduced in part to prevent graphite shafts from contacting a sharp hosel edge under load, leading to shaft failure. While epoxy alone might do the job in a countersunk hosel, if you are installing a graphite shaft in a conventional hosel make sure you round the sharp inside edge before installation.
can i use jb weld epoxy? any difference to the golf specific epoxy?
Hey there AJ – your videos are so educational!! Love them – you have fueled my passion to take re-gripping to the next level – I need to ask you where do you buy your club tools and accessories (ferrules etc.)? And are there any name brands that you like better than others? TYVM!!
Useful video thanks. Enlightening on the collared ferrule. Just double checking as per other comments here that this also applies to PXG irons as I have built several lately using their collared ferrules and it certainly ‘felt’/‘seemed’ like this was necessary – but I will defer to your expert judgement on this AJ?!
I've messed around with club building/repair for many years. Your videos are, by far, the most informative and user friendly I've ever seen. I appreciate you putting this information out there.
How do you feel about the 5 minute epoxy vs. The 24-hour epoxy? I've always wondered if the five minutes stuff isn't as strong as the long setting stuff.
AJ you are awesome dude. 👌 just starting my journey into club repairs and builds. I love these videos
Thanks AJ, have you talked about pulling graphite shafts before? I'm always a little on edge when I do it and am looming for a sure fire method where I can't compromise the shaft integrity.
I agree with everything stated, especially not using fast drying epoxy. Slow drying epoxy is stronger which is another huge advantage.
I’ve had a set of Muzino JPX 921 Forged irons for a year and started playing around with other shafts in a couple of the clubs. The epoxy that Muzino used in the original build seems to have a very low breakdown temperature but when it re-hardens it’s very it difficult to clean / scrape the excess out of the hosel. Any idea what epoxy they use? It’s kind of white in color.
Thanks and enjoy your content.
AJ, thanks for the great content. I’ve been changing grips, etc for years but recently purchased a shaft extractor. I pulled a TaylorMade adapter off a driver shaft and want to install a Callaway adapter. I noticed the shaft has a tip weight installed, can I install the new adapter with it in or will this create a “pressure” issue with the new adapter? Thanks again for the great content, very helpful.
Love the videos. Is there any downside to doing an extra fine grit polish or even a brush finish to improve the appearance of clubs that are a little dinged up?
