Hey there, fellow golfers! I’m looking to get some advice on the cost of reshafting my driver. I’ve been playing with the same driver for a few years now, and I feel like it’s time for an upgrade. The shaft is starting to feel a bit worn and not as responsive as it used to be. I’m curious to know how much it typically costs to have a driver reshafted at a golf shop or club fitting center. I’ve heard the range can vary quite a bit, so I’m hoping to get a better idea of the average cost. Any input or personal experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I budget appropriately for this project, as I’m also considering getting a new driver altogether. Let me know your thoughts!
Reshafting a driver can vary quite a bit in cost. I’ve seen it range from $50 to $150, depending on the shaft type and whether you go with a custom or off-the-shelf option. Location and labor costs also play a role.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I had mine done last year and it was on the higher end at around $125. The custom shaft was worth it though!

Hmm, reshafting can get pricey. I wonder if it’s worth it or if I should just get a new driver altogether? What’s the general consensus on when to reshaft versus replace?

I’d say if your current driver is still in good shape otherwise, reshafting is probably the way to go. It’s a lot cheaper than buying a whole new club. Just make sure you get a quality shaft that fits your swing.
It really depends on the condition of your current driver. If the head is still in good shape, reshafting is definitely the more economical option. But if the head is worn out or you’re just looking for an upgrade, a new driver might be worth the investment.

Reshafted my driver a couple years ago and it was around $100. Definitely cheaper than a new club, but still not cheap. I’d say if your driver is only a couple years old, reshafting is probably the way to go.
Yikes, that sucks to hear about your reshafting mishap, marycrawford. I’ll have to keep that in mind if I decide to go that route. Reshafting seems like it could be a bit of a gamble if you don’t have a trustworthy shop.
Ugh, I hate when that happens with reshafting. I’ve heard some real horror stories. Guess I’ll have to do some serious research to find a shop I can trust. Anyone have any recommendations in the [location] area?

Haha, yeah reshafting can be a bit of a gamble. Personally, I’d rather just get a new driver and start fresh. But to each their own! As long as you know what you’re getting into, it could be worth a shot.
That’s really good to know, thanks for sharing your experience. Definitely don’t want to end up in the same boat. Guess I’ll have to do some digging to find a trustworthy shop in my area.

Reshafting can be hit or miss, but I think it’s worth exploring if your driver is still in good shape otherwise. I’m gonna do some more research and see if I can find a reputable shop nearby. Wish me luck!
Wow, lots of mixed experiences with reshafting here. I guess it really comes down to finding the right shop to do the work. Maybe I’ll start by asking around at my local golf club for any recommendations. Gotta be someone there who’s had a good experience, right?
Reshafting a driver can be a pretty involved process. You’ll need some specialized tools and it’s easy to mess things up if you’re not experienced. I’d recommend getting it done by a pro club fitter to be safe.
Reshafting a driver can run anywhere from $50-$150 depending on the shop and materials used. The labor is usually $30-$60. Doing it yourself could save you a bit, but you’d need to invest in the right tools. Not for the faint of heart!
Thanks for the breakdown! That’s good to know. I think I’ll take it to a pro this time, but maybe try doing it myself down the line if I get more comfortable with club repair.

Reshafting a driver isn’t rocket science, but it’s definitely not something for beginners. You need to have the right tools and a steady hand. I tried doing it myself once and ended up with a pretty crooked shaft. Lesson learned - leave it to the pros!
Ouch, a crooked shaft sounds like a nightmare! Good call on taking it to a professional. I don’t have the steadiest of hands, so I’ll probably skip the DIY version.

I just had my driver reshafted and it was a pretty painless process. The shop charged me $90 and had it done in less than an hour. Definitely worth it to avoid any mishaps. I’d say if you’re not super confident in your skills, just pay the pros and save yourself the headache.
That’s a pretty reasonable price. Sounds like the pro route is the way to go, especially for a critical club like the driver. Thanks for sharing your experience!
