Recently I found a 3 color mark on the butt part of an Aldila shaft. Is this a spine mark? What is this mark for?

Ronald,
It is simply a manufacturing mark; any relationship with spine is total coincidence.

Can I reshaft a Ping Rapture Driver? Not the new one but the original one?
Bill, Hemet, California, USA
Bill,
Yes. The crown is composite, so you’ll either have to be very careful when you heat it to remove the old shaft or you’ll have to drill the old shaft out, but it can be done.

1) What the tip size for the Cobra S9-1 Pro S driver? 2) What the tip size for the TaylorMade Burner Hybrid ? I intend to change new shaft for the both items. Look forward for your reply. Thank you.

Richard,
The Cobra Pro driver is .335″ and the TaylorMade Burner hybrid is .370″

How do you pull a shaft out of a Cobra ZL driver. This is the Cobra driver that allows the head to be adjusted to closed, neutral, open positions. It looks like the shaft is glued into the top section of the adjustment mechanism, but not sure. Is the shaft tip .350″? Thanks.

Robert,
The shaft sleeve is metal and extends into the head. Treat it as a normal shaft pull, but be very careful in heating the head as it is part composite.

I read a swingweight Q and A, now I am a bit upset. I just spent probably too much getting new grips. My irons were all D3 weight, chipping around the house today and everything feels heavy. Grips went from 42 grams to 50 grams. What happened to my swingweight?
John, Spring Hill, Tennessee, USA
John,
Each 5 grams heavier in the grip will reduce swingweight by @1 point. Thus the swingweight of your clubs actually decreased by about a point and a half. The reason the clubs may feel heavier is that the total weight of your clubs went up 8 grams due to the heavier weight of the new grips.
