Hey fellow golfers! I’m looking for some advice on the cost to reshaft my irons. I’ve been playing with the same set of irons for a few years now, and I’m starting to notice that my shots aren’t as consistent as they used to be. I’m wondering if it’s time to get my shafts replaced, but I’m not sure what the typical cost is for this kind of work.
I’ve heard that shaft replacement can be quite expensive, and I want to make sure I’m budgeting properly before taking my clubs in. Do any of you have experience with getting your irons reshafted? What did it end up costing you? And is it generally worth the investment, or should I consider just getting a new set of irons instead?
Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I’m trying to weigh my options and make the best decision for my game and my wallet. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Reshafting irons can vary quite a bit in cost, but you’re typically looking at $30-$100 per club depending on the shafts and labor involved. High-end custom shafts will be on the higher end.
Agree with the previous comments. When getting irons reshafted, be prepared to spend $50-$150 per club depending on the quality of the new shafts. Do you have a specific set in mind?
Yeah, the cost can really vary. I recently had my irons reshafted and it was around $75 per club. But I used some premium aftermarket shafts. Definitely shop around a bit to get the best deal.
I’m looking to reshaft my old irons to get a bit more distance. Based on the info here, I’ll budget $100-$150 per club. Any tips on finding a good club fitter to do the work?
Definitely check reviews and get recommendations for club fitters in your area. They’ll be able to analyze your swing and recommend the right shaft type/flex. Reshafting can make a big difference in feel and performance.
I just had my irons reshafted and it was a game changer! The new shafts really improved my launch and ball flight. Well worth the investment in my opinion.
Agreed, reshafting can breathe new life into an old set of irons. But be careful - I’ve heard some horror stories of club fitters messing up the lie and loft during the process. Make sure they know what they’re doing!
Yikes, good point zhill. I’d hate to have my clubs totally messed up. Maybe I’ll just stick with the stock shafts and save myself the hassle. What do you all think - is it really worth the risk?
Reshafting can definitely be worth it, but you have to be careful. Personally, I had a great experience with my club fitter - they took tons of measurements and did a thorough job. I gained 10-15 yards per club. Worth the investment in my book!
I’ve heard both good and bad stories about reshafting. I think the key is finding a highly skilled and experienced club fitter who can properly dial in the lie, loft, and swing weight. That’s what will really make the difference, not just the shafts themselves.
Haha, well if you want to spend the money, I guess that’s your call. Personally, I’m happy with my trusty old irons. Why fix what ain’t broke, right? But to each their own!
Reshafting irons can be a great DIY project, but it does require some specialized tools and a fair amount of precision. The process involves carefully removing the old shaft, fitting the new one, and ensuring proper alignment and flex.
Reshafting irons can get pretty tricky, especially if you’re new to it. What kind of tools do you typically need for a job like this? Is it something a novice could tackle with a little research, or would you recommend going to a pro?
The basic tools you’ll need are a shaft puller, a vice grip, and a shaft alignment tool. With a little patience and some YouTube tutorials, I think a novice could definitely pull it off. But if you’re not confident in your skills, a pro might be the way to go.
I’m all for a good DIY project, but reshafting irons seems like it could be a bit of a headache. Wouldn’t want to end up with some crooked clubs or have to pay for a professional to fix my mistakes. What do you think, is it worth the risk?
I hear ya, man. It’s definitely a delicate process, and if you’re not careful, you could end up with some wonky clubs. But if you take your time, do your research, and maybe even practice on an old club first, I think the potential savings make it worth the effort. Just gotta be sure you’re up for the challenge.
I recently tackled a reshaft on my irons and it was a bit of a learning curve, but definitely doable. The hardest part was getting the old shaft out without damaging the clubhead. Once I got the hang of it, the rest was pretty straightforward. Just take it slow and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck.
Ah, the age-old question of DIY reshafting vs. paying a pro. I’d say it really comes down to your level of confidence and attention to detail. If you’re a bit of a perfectionist and don’t mind taking the time to get it just right, go for the DIY route. But if you’re worried about messing things up, might be better to let the experts handle it.
Haha, reshafting irons - sounds like a job for the real golf nerds out there! Personally, I’d rather just take my clubs to the pro shop and let the experts work their magic. Less headache for me, and I can just focus on improving my swing instead of fiddling with the clubs. But to each their own, I suppose!
