I just bought a new Ping Rapture Driver and do not like the proto 65 stiff shaft that I ordered with it. Where can I get the 909d stiff shaft to put in it. Is there a place in New York that will do this kind of repair work?
Frank, Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
Frank,
The 909 is available only from Ping. They will have to do the work at Ping since they do not sell just the shafts.

I was just wondering what your thoughts were regarding bending the lie of a Cleveland LDI hybrid up a couple degrees? Should I not try since it’s construction is different than a regular iron? Thanks.

Bradley,
There is no reason why the LDI cannot be bent a couple of degrees.

Hello, I just purchased a Titleist 907 D4 driver. The club head was new and does not have the small screw in the bottom of the club. Can you please tell me where I can purchase the screw to complete the club. Thank you.
Rob, Bargersville, Indiana, USA
Rob,
Titlest is the only source; they most likley will not sell you just the screw. You may have to send the club to them. Their customer service number is 800-225-8500.

I want to reshaft my Callaway X-18 Pro steel stiff irons with X-14 raw graphite regular shafts. What things will I need to be aware of? (i.e.; tip trimming, maintaining shaft flex, parallel or tapered of either the 18 irons of 14 shafts). Thanks
Michael, St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
Michael,
This is a fairly advanced reshaft job. I can’t tell you how to trim the shafts without knowing the specific brand and flex. Callaway does not sell shafts only, so I am confused as to what “raw X-14″ shafts means. That said, you will have to cut notches in the shaft tips since Callaway irons are parallel .370″ at the top of the hosel and .355″ at the bottom. You should use collared ferrules to maintain shaft integrity after assembly. You will need to sand the shaft tips and install tips pins after assembly. You will have to buff the soles to maintain their original finish look as a final step.
If you let me know more about the shafts, perhaps I can help more with trimming, but I just don’t have enough information to make a good recommendation at this point. Regards,

Is clubmaking epoxy much stronger than hardware store types and tour (quick) set versus longer set times better for hot summer temperatures? Thanks for info.
Kilburn, Tempe, Arizona, USA
Kilburn,
The shear strength of club epoxy is typically higher than store epoxies and thus is better recommended than store brands.
