They don’t sell that special order “quick set formula guaranteed to cure inside the box before the UPS guy shows up” stuff by the truck load…

…very limited quantities only accessible to certified Super Ho’s I am told

I buy and sell a lot more stuff than I build.🤣

colej I have a couple sets of those M2 shafts, R & S. Both excellent performing, play just a bit soft to flex.
iirc, very consistent in weights, but about 5-7g heavier than what shaft shows.(both the 65 & 75)
ReAx is a TM deal, but they have been great shafts since they came out years ago.

sdandrea1 I’ll buy that then. Thanks Papa!

Repaired a Takomo 101 5 iron. The shaft was a Dynamic Gold VSS, so I had to remove and reuse it. The customer brought me the shaft he wanted to use. (Not the same...his choice, not mine)

He had broken it half way up the shaft and bent the tip. Hit it "slightly" fat I'd say.

CallMeAl Brute!

[deleted] Anyone can slam a club. Bent tips are something that is a bit normal, broken shafts are very telling about the player. And their mindset.😉

On a side note, the insert seems quite a bit shorter to the one's I use to use from the day.

The old ones we're like a foot long if I remember correctly. 🤔

CallMeAl Is that a plastic straw with self-stick foam wrapping?

Old school shock inserts. Might be new school as well.

It looks like one of the old Sensicore inserts.

I hate Golf Galaxy…. What kind of epoxy do they use??? This is the second adapter I pulled that they put on. So for 40 minutes I was heating it, cranking, start again, more heat…. 40 fuckin minutes, wouldn’t budge. Stopped and went out for dinner. Came home and another 15 minutes then finally it broke free.

It normally takes me 5 minutes with a heat gun. Also took the shaft extension out of the broken Paderson shaft so I can extend this one an inch. Tomorrow I’ll put the extension in the shaft and throw a grip on it. Sometime during the week I’ll put a TM adapter on it

Typhoon lol. Are you using a 30 watt bulb🤪

They probably use a good shafting epoxy like Hardman Epoweld not the bullshit Bramptons. A fart will break down Bramptons. Most good shafting epoxys release at about 270°. Get a mini butane torch.

Par4QC the stuff that apparently fails often 🙃.....fart on it and it separates🤫

That’s what I figured but I use Golfworks and never had an issue. Unless maybe it’s the Titleist adapters because both times it was one of those.. I have a mini torch, just need a refill but I never have an issue with the heat gun.

Here’s a question. Is the 24 hour epoxy easier to take apart than the quick set ones?
