You make it look so easy but thats were experience and knowledge are key.... very informative and good little vids to see all aspects of golf not just playing....played 9 today as weather here in North Norfolk was great....shot 42 (nine hole par 34) playing off 20 now....keep these coming....subscribers growing, viewing growing, channel growing.....well done 'Barnsey' ⛳
Another great vid. Clear and informative, well presented. Would be great to see how you approach a graphite re shaft as I know its a slightly different technique for heating hosel and removing the club head.👍
Pretty cool, well done Bernie. I enjoy that kind of thing. My dad and I used to re-grip our clubs back in the 80's and 90's. But I have not done one in a while. I like the way you wrap the tape instead of folding it around the shaft.
Nice tutorial, Bernie. When you remove the old grip, do you have to do anything to "clean out" any glue residue or other nasty bits from the inside of the old grip?
That’s why I still use my 40 year old MacGregor irons Lester because you have the skill to keep them from falling apart. Unfortunately you don’t have the skills to keep me from falling apart 🙈
Nice one Bernie. Do you ever add glass beads to the epoxy mix? Also, I have seen some club fitters who spine the shafts before fitting. Is the ping shaft already spined correctly with the logo up? Cheers
Personally I don’t believe in it and don’t think it makes any difference to a club golfer. Maybe an elite fitter would argue it does. I normally mix sand or wood chipping to thicken the glue Harry as it’s cheaper.
Well done Bernie good to see things like this as it does mean if you have a favourite club and you go somewhere where they say it’s not worth reshafting it’s cheaper to buy a new one then you can do it yourself
Re-gripping nowadays I can manage myself, 2 inch grip tape on a roll and grip solvent I find much easier but each to their own. Re-shafting I would have done years ago, but now it is far easier to pay a professional to do it, they are the experts after all. I did think about a compressed air gun a while ago for changing grips but it just isn't worth the outlay. Great video Lester.
Yeah totally agree Robert! Just wanted to share a passion of mine with you all and show you how I do that particular repair. Would always recommend getting a PGA Pro to carry this particular repair.
@@berniebarnesgolf doing grips is easy you don't even need a vice. I must admit re-shafting did look a bit daunting, bearing in mind if you don't glue it properly the head is going to come off, my luck would dictate right by a pond. 😂
I liked this one. I only re-grip my irons but I have a Ping Zing putter I've had trouble with putting on another original Ping grip. The opening of the grip is so small compared to the shaft opening. Do I force it or use more spirit? Worried about damaging the grip at the tip.
Use lots of white spirit Mark! You can also use your finger to make the opening slightly bigger and then once it’s over the shaft it should be easy to apply!
Hi Lester, thanks for this video. Is the what looks like plastic sleeve insert inside the hosel the same on all irons? (Best seen around 6:47) and this would presumably stay in place and not be removed? I have some old Titleist irons and the 8 and 7 iron heads have come off. Initially I thought it was part of the ferrule, but it seems to extend all the way down the hosel and has presumably broken off a little bit where the ferrule and sleeve have met just inside of the hosel. Kind regards, Nathan
Some ferrules will go inside the head Nathan and some shafts will be fitted with plastic sleeves to make the fit better. It’s hard to know without seeing it. Does the shaft fit tightly in the head or is it loose without the plastic sleeve!?
@@berniebarnesgolf I haven't removed the plastic sleeves mate (if that's what they are) they are are still inside the hosels. Had a quick go, but it's late and it looks like it could be a right pain removing them and don't want to if there's no need. The shafts seem to fit rather snuggly when sticking them back into the hosel despite the sleeves having broken a little bit towards the tip of the hosel. (Probably where they sleeves have met the tapered ferrules inside the hosels and bonded together with exopy). Confusing I know!! I think I may try and trim the sleeves (if that's what they are) so they have enough clearance for some new tapered ferrules to be used inside the hosel and exopy them.
Hi Lester.. Great video mate.. I have a fixed driver head at 10.5 degrees.. Graphite shaft is snapped inside the neck at the ferrel.. Any tips on fixing this?
Bernie i recently got someone to put a new 2thumb grip on my putter but when i got it back it was slightly squint, is it possible to remove these 2thumb grips without ruining them.?
@@berniebarnesgolf excellent thanks for the reply Bernie, used to watch you in DH channel i’ll be subscribing to yours now, good videos mate keep it up 👍
Could do with adding sand to your mix, helps centralise the shaft in the hosel. There could also be potential swing weight issues now as the previous shaft could be tip/tungsten powder weighed in the shaft so after the reshaft could be playing to light.
Most of the time I get “I don’t care what shaft goes in it, just do it as cheap as possible” 😂 I’d recommend a newer club being sent back to manufacturers.
Nice one Bernie , something a bit different, hopefully all golfers won’t clear a space in their sheds and start re- shafting and re-gripping as it’s only something trained people should do .
You need to check out the prices of grip shoots now Bernie…they’ve increased quite a bit since you bought that one. I broke my old one recently and was shocked at how much Diamond, Gamola et al were wanting so I did the Tyke Hack and use a mole grip as the handle instead 😉
@@berniebarnesgolf They’re twice what you thought, forty quid plus postage. I bought mine from Golfsmith before they went bust, I might have paid 15bucks for it??? So long ago and I have the memory of a goldfish 🙄
I just checked Golf Works, and a standard length (11”) grip blade goes for $25 USD, close to the 20 GBP that Bernie mentions. The longer 20” model is a brutal $45 USD.

Very good Lester well done repairs look easy thats experience
Thanks Mick! A bit of a passion of mine, so thought I’d share!
Love this type of video.
Thanks Robert! Just thought it’s to see how we do some repairs.
I’m enjoying this repair content. It’s all good stuff to know.
Thanks mate, just nice to showcase one of the jobs I do.
Really enjoyed that. Looking forward to the next course vlog 👍
Thanks Richard! I’ll get a course Vlog done this week!
Great video mate keep up the great work Bernie ⛳️👌
Cheers Paul! Thanks for the support!
Thanks. Interesting and pleasant atmosphere to see a thorough and frugal repair renewing a favourite club.
Thanks for watching John!
Nice video Bernie. You're a great teacher.😊
Cheers Terry!
Thanks for helping Mark out a week or so ago !
No problem Mike, any time.
Well done Bernie and thank you for sharing this 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching Paul
Thanks, Lester. Another interesting demonstration following your earlier club re-gripping video.
Thanks for watching David!
Thanks David!
Another nice one, once again a pro job. Sure open flames and white spirit not a good match !!!!
Probably not 😂 just thought you would like to see me do one 😂
Very interesting Barney…I would never have the nerve to attempt it. You made look easy though.😊
Thanks Wayne! Helps when you’ve been doing it 25 years.
Good stuff Bernie your good at your job as well as being a nice bloke , Keep up the good work
Thanks Jeff! You are making you blush 😂
Great tutorial Bernie. So how many times have you almost burnt down the old shop😂
A few Brian 😂 don’t tell Dan 😂
Definitely a great video, very helpful. Would also be nice to see a graphite shaft done as well. Keep up the great work!
I’ll definitely do a graphite shaft one too Jeremy!
Loving the new channel! How about changing a ferrel out on a driver
I’ll do that video soon Travis I promise!

It doesn’t have to be expensive to reshaft David, most of the time they probably can’t be bothered to repair it 😂

It was more to show how I do repairs Nick. I’d always recommend taking them to a PGA professional. I guess it’s a passion of mine I wanted to share.
I wrap a wet rag around the club head to prevent any heat damage and keep more of the heat on the hosel
I’d do that too Paul and make sure the plastic ferrule is wet too so I can save that if needed.
