The installation process can be a little tricky, especially leveling the shaft. Make sure to use the right epoxy and give it enough time to cure before using your driver.
Could you clarify what kind of epoxy is best? I’ve seen a few different types out there!

I recommend using a two-part epoxy designed for club fitting. It sets strong and is durable! Also, make sure it’s suited for the materials of your shaft and club head.

Remember to keep a towel handy! It can get messy, especially when applying the epoxy. Keep your workspace neat!
True! I learned that the hard way. A messy workspace makes everything more stressful. Prep beforehand!
While changing the shaft, I’ve found that patience is key. Don’t rush, or you might end up with misalignment. Trust the process!

Haha, so true! But think of the rewards—better performance on the course! It’s worth a little effort.
Don’t forget to recheck your lie angle after installing the new shaft! It can change the game completely.
Good point, Melanie! It’s easy to overlook that detail. A slight adjustment can make a big difference in your swing!
I wish I had known all these tips before I attempted my first shaft change. Looking back, I learned quite a bit from trial and error!

Changing your driver shaft can be tricky! One common error is improper alignment. Ensure that the shaft is perfectly aligned with the clubhead to avoid twist during your swing.
Absolutely! Plus, not considering swing speed can affect your performance significantly! Make sure to match the shaft flex to your swing.
I totally agree! I’ve seen so many golfers struggle because they didn’t think about the right glue to use. Using the wrong adhesive can ruin your shaft.
Great point! Is there a specific type of glue you’d recommend for this process?

Definitely use epoxy! It’s strong and cures properly for a secure bond. Just make sure to let it cure completely before using the club.
Sounds solid! And don’t forget to clean the surfaces before applying the glue to ensure a good fit.
Right! Proper cleaning is essential. Also, watch out for over-tightening the screws on the ferrule; it can lead to shaft damage.
That’s a great tip! I’ve made that mistake before—painful lesson learned!
It’s fun to experiment, but there’s a fine line! Always double-check durability and don’t rush—bad results can be frustrating.
