Extracting a graphite shaft that is broke of at the hosel?

Question

I have the easy out things that you s***w in and then can pull out but everytime I do tht I heat it up and the easy out just comes right out and no shaft? Should I just drill it out? should I even heat it up at all?

Answer 1

A graphite shaft and its head are together because of an epoxy adhesive. The proper way to remove the broken shaft from the club head is to use a solvent which will dissolve the epoxy. Take it to your local golf store or pro shop and they will provide the service cheaply. You may also purchase a shaft to match those of your set.

Answer 2

I drill them out. No big deal.

Answer 3

Might want to take it to a golf course where they generally have someone, or a place to do this.  It usually is not all that expensive. Also, check your yellow pages, and might be someone who does golf club repair.  Not knowing what brand of club you have, or which club you're working on, could be very expensive to replace if your repair job isn't done properly.

Answer 4

this extraction needs special puller , plus experiance . the only safe option is to have qualified golf repair shop remove . please do not drill, the head will be ruined . thank you

Answer 5

thats the craziest wording i've ever seen

Answer 6

heat the hosel........then insert the easy out and pull the shaft.  I usually will take a die and my dremel and ream the old shaft stub out.  Than way I do not damage the club hosel or get too deep and go into the head itself.
