Recommended Posts. September 15, Hello all, I've got a question, and I couldn't quite get the answer I was looking for using the search feature I tried, trust me. Well here's the deal - a relative of mine gave me his 10 degree, draw weighted FT-I driver with a senior flex, and told me that I might need to get it reshafted He is right, its senior flex.
The reason being that his health doesn't allow him to golf anymore. I went into two separate golf stores to ask about it, and both tried to get me to trade it in and told me that reshafting would give sub-standard results. Before starting the fitting process ensure that the tip section of your new driver will fit into the tip section that the head is designed for and that you have the correct tools for the job. Nearly all metal wood heads have a. The process for replacing a standard shaft and an adjustable shaft varies and adjustable shafts require a sleeve adaptor.
Although the physical work can be quite quick to complete the process takes approximately 24 hours to complete. The type of epoxy used in the process and its drying time to ensure good bonding between the shaft and the driver head are factors to consider. Drying time can be reduced by curing the epoxy at a high temperature. The first step in the process would be to remove the existing shaft.
The process may vary between a broken shaft and removing an existing shaft as set out in the links above. The replacement process remains the same though. The steps below can serve as a guideline to replace a driver shaft. The actual process may vary between drivers that require specific components.
Driver heads on shafts designed for children can leave much to be desired especially as the child grows and their golf swing improves. When cutting down an adult shaft to suit your child you need to keep in mind that it changes the dynamics of the shaft and significantly lowers the swing weight. To overcome this, you could add some lead tape on the bottom of his driver.
The decision to reshaft your driver should not be taken too lightly. Although the prices of the latest drivers have skyrocketed over the last couple of years, it may still be an effective alternative to replacing your driver shaft. A new shaft on an old driver may not provide you with the innovative technology available on the latest drivers for extra distance and forgiveness. However much you like your old driver, changing the shaft may not provide you with the ultimate benefit.
A broken shaft on a relatively new driver head makes financial sense to replace provided you cannot make a deal with a reseller to trade in the head on a new driver. Any change in swing speed, be it as a result of a fitness improvement or an injury, may necessitate the reshafting of your driver.
Remember that your swing speed dictates the flex and other components of your ideal shaft. The width of the stick will allow you to get deep into the hosel and spread epoxy evenly around the inside. Also put epoxy on the shaft to create a firmer bond, which is important for a driver.

Replacing your old shaft can be a relatively painless process for you or your local repair shop. Most golf repair companies reshaft drivers if the breakage is only a maximum of six inches on any one side.
If you have noticed a sudden significant decrease or increase in swing speed with your driver, then you may have to get it reshafted. If you notice the golf ball ballooning repeatedly, you may consider having your driver reshafted.
When you encounter ballooning, the ball launches very low and moves up higher and higher resulting in a a steep fall followed by very little roll. Often, ballooning takes place due to excess backspin and deprives players of carry distance and roll.
There are two key advantages of reshafting your driver. Reshafting helps in boosting your performance in the game considerably and can be less expensive than buying a new driver. Reshafting the golf driver has helped players to show a considerable improvement in their game. This is especially true for golfers who find it difficult to have consistent swing speed. If the swing speed starts becoming overly high or low all of a sudden with the golf driver, reshafting the driver can help to get the original swing speed back on track.
Most drivers come with graphic shafts. Such shafts are often more expensive than iron shafts. If the golf driver is only slightly cracked or broken at any one of the two sides, reshafting the club may be a good option. However if the driver is broken in the center or either side, you should instead buy a new driver.
