Club Building 101: Pulling a Shaft from a Bonded Driver
ฝัง

- Even though most modern drivers have some sort of adapter, there are still many times when you have to pull a shaft from a fully bonded head whether it be a driver, fairway wood, or hybrid.
With bonded heads you have to be careful with a few things including using the right amount of heat, where to focus it, and properly using your tools.

Excellent video. Thanks.
Your technique is 90% good. The only change i would recommend is using a ferrule splitter/remover to remove the ferrule before removing the head. The odors of a melting ferrule are noxious and melted ferrule ends up on the head.
SUPERB. !!!
Hi Ryan, thanks for this video, much appreciated. I have a question.
I have about the same kind of driver you have in the video, a Maruman V-sonic. It was snapped by me some years ago trying to reach a par 4 green in two. I've cleaned the head ferule, but it seems kind of shallow and the depth kind of stops at the clubhead. Being an engineer, I thought the shaft should do deeper, say 2-cm, into the club head but drilling seem to encounter metal. Is this normal? Help!
Can you still reuse a shaft after removing it from a bonded club
I'm guilty of cracking my brother's ProForce shaft in a rubber vice clamp while trying to change out his driver head. _ugh_
Live and learn.
What's the purpose of knowing all your club weights? Is it just a feel thing?
Great video Ryan. Just a couple of thoughts...I've 'crushed' several shafts in my puller - they have all been 'made for' shafts. Like you I've never had an issue with original aftermarket shafts. How would you deal with a 'made for' that is particularly hard to pull? Any tricks? Or have you never run into that situation? Thanks again! :D
Just making sure that you keep pressure light and you shouldn't have a problem. I've pulled 40g graphite shafts without any issues just by being patient and focusing heat.
Great video. Have a question though, by using the butane flame, would you ever be concerned with reusing that shaft you pulled?
With a torch, you can really focus the heat and quickly break down the epoxy. As soon as the epoxy breaks down and the head starts to move in the puller you remove heat. This limits the exposure to the shaft.
I have never had an issue with using too much heat resulting in a ruined shaft because on the butane torch. It's all about taking the time to do it properly.
In prepping the graphite shaft to go back into the head, do you need to remove the epoxy from inside the tip of the shaft? If so, how? I typically do that with steel shafts but have never attempted it with a graphite shaft.
Yes. The shaft needs to be cleaned out to allow air to escape during the installation process. You can use a small drill bit ( but go slow ) or a ran rob from the butt end to push out any left over epoxy - this is a great question to demonstrate in a video!
Great video. Surprised you didn’t remove the ferrule before using the shaft puller. Any advantage to doing it this way or just personal preference?
Attempting to remove before can scratch the shaft and by just letting it melt, you never have to worry about that. With steel its not an issue but with graphite and paint its best to be as careful as possible
Leaves ferrule on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
