How to remove and install an golf club shaft adapter

Shaft adapters come in many shapes, sizes and way they connect to the head. Watch the next 10 or so minutes to see how a PING and Mizuno adapter come apart and go back together. This is a shaft extraction and adapter install.

Got in a bind bc I was forgetting the adapter removal process this afternoon. Came right to your channel! Thanks for the content as always!

[@leonkronbergs5897]

Big fan. Great video as usual! Appreciate you supporting Folds of Honor.

U should be 500k+ subs!

[@tracishintaku2851]

Love your vids. What puller is that? Had my jb pneumatic for almost 20 years and looking for a replacement. Thx

[@mattrevilock5890]

Awesome content. My Question: is the wishon 919 a better fitting club that can be bent then your typical adjustable driver? Also can I reuse a driver shaft in a new clubhead that doesn't need an adapter? All the Best. Great Job.

[@Rambolambo88]

Just came across your videos and they're awesome! Well done! Have you done a video on reusing a graphite shaft. Obviously when you pull one there is a lot of glue on the end but how would you then put that shaft in another head? Cheers from the UK!

[@ephat100]

Do the various sleeve adapters have different insertion depths into their sleeves? for instance does more of shaft insert into a Taylormade sleeve adapter vs. a Ping sleeve. I am mainly asking because if you sand the tip of a shaft for a specific sleeve will part of the sanded tip show with another adapter?

[@tkpgapro]

Can you please do a video on how to save an older TaylorMade tip without melting the plastic ferrule piece?

[@omegacon4]

Great video! Just to clarify, could you explain why we need 2 clicks (club seated?) instead of just 1 click (manufacturer torque limit) when tightening the screw with the torque wrench? I liked and subscribed to your channel. Thank you!

[@McGolf]

omega con4 it’s just an old mechanical thing I was taught. As they are break away wrench they sometimes can break away a bit earlier. The second click ensures it’s at the right torque

[@omegacon4]

[@fredsanford6143]

Hello, Just found your videos. Do you make shaft recommendations?

[@jonathanjones1144]

What do you recommend I do to get my driver to adjust? It's not wanting to turn. The booklet says to tap the grip, but that didn't help.

[@onabender3361]

Ive noticed the ping adapter has score lines when purchase brand new. Is it necessary to prep the adapter or is that the purpose of the score lines?

[@cornpop9045]

Serious question, would a left handed Taylormade shaft adapter in a right handed Taylormade head just be the lofts and lies in reverse.?

[@slimjim1690]

What drill bit are you using to clean out the head when you remove the shaft? I can't tell if it's a carbide or a brush

[@Finchcustomputters]

Bore cleaning brush.

[@skylarsteel91]

With the part for adapter pulling from golf works, is that something that can be used without a shaft puller. I.e. one person hold shaft and the other hold the attachment and pull off the adapter? Thanks for the help

[@McGolf]

the puller uses a 2 ton jack, there are screw types that works well that might a be choice than tug of war with a buddy. I say that because you want to prevent twisting as much as possible. When pulling (2 man method) it is too easy to hurt/ twist the shaft

[@Silky1968]

How do you remove the metal fitting from a metal 7 iron shaft?

[@td1138]

Good Video, but why didn’t you use the GolfWorks adapter on the Mizuno pull since you went to the trouble of attaching it?

[@McGolf]

I was showing the different ways to remove the adapter, since the mizzy adapter didn't need a ferrule I used it.

[@tonybytheway7543]

Any issues removing a Callaway adapter? My clubfitter isn't keen on pulling Callaway adapters as he says they are problematic so just wondering if there is a special trick for that make?

[@jazz15c4]

I think you answered my query at the end; does the rubber washer sit against the screw or against the shaft? Thanks

[@McGolf]

In most cases and it helps keep the screw in the head

[@mikemarsh-allard8918]

Would you just glue the shaft in like a standard club?

[@owl331]

Would using my heat gun work. Or would I need to buy propane torch

[@sandrahachey7236]

any tips if the screw is stripped and the wrench cannot grip the screw? Many thanks

[@joshjones5276]

Oh man I cant find the adapter puller tool any chance I can get a link?

[@socaldave4475]

Where do you find one of those break away torque wrenches and are the star bolts a universal size? Thanks.

[@McGolf]

David Fauls normally from the makers. But for after market , that’s a great questions

[@ddarrenwillsond3620]

I recognize both of those driver heads...

[@jimahern8484]

Lost the washer for the ping g425. Now I can't get the head to release.What can I do now? PLEASE HELP!

[@dillonptacek1029]

Great video. I really wish it was possible to take the adapters from drivers that allow a larger range of loft change and put them onto a a different driver head by adjusting the hosel or something. My Ping g400 max only has 1 degree in each direction, so it is frustrating when you see drivers out there that can change like 4 degrees!

[@McGolf]

It is handy but there is always give and take for most of the adjustables. The face will move equally in one direction too.

[@fredsanford6143]

I saw an ad for a universal kit. Works with most if not all brands. I’ll post a link if I see it again.

[@mpb1472]

Is the adaptor on the Ping Alta CB 55 shaft that had a G400 head in it, the same as the adaptor for a G30 head? Either the ferrule or the adaptor sleeve has moved as mine has space between them? I am having a hard time getting it on/off and adjusting it now. Replace or repair?

[@McGolf]

I believe they are same, getting off has been a problem for other PING owners, I think a repair to check to see if its the adapter or the ferrule.

[@thomasjohnston3584]

Is it possible to simply ,move a shaft from say a Wilson Driver to a Titlest driver without changing the adapters.?

[@McGolf]

the short answer it no, All the adapters are specific to the OEM.

[@rayfarrell9482]

Always good information. But what about changing to weight on a TaylorMade M4 driver. I cut it down to 45” and now need to add a heavier weight. I’ve read it is glued in. Do you think I can heat up the tip of a T20 security screwdriver and set it in the screw to break the bond. I would think enough heat would transfer if I do it a couple of times. Thanks Ray

[@McGolf]

Ray Farrell if it has a torque it should just need the wrench I’ve not heard of weights glued in that style

[@felixnegron5715]

Hey Jim. I hit an Aldila Synergy 60 shaft on my 3 and 5 Rogue woods very well. I do struggle some hitting my Ping GMax driver with the std Alta 55 shaft. Are these shafts very different and should maybe consider changing the driver shaft to be similar to the ones on my woods? Apprecite your feedback.

[@felixnegron5715]

Any thoughts?

What do you have on the end of the drill to clean out the adapter?

[@McGolf]

hosel cleaning brush, that can be found in my store www.amazon,com/shop/mcgolfcustomclubs under the tool section or at golfworks

[@andy2020ize]

Is it ok to pull the adapter off and then put a different adapter (different brand) on the shaft? is there a limit to how many times you would do it? Many thanks

[@McGolf]

Andrew Smith in short, no,

[@andy2020ize]

McGolf Custom Clubs ok so when you say in short no, does that mean that there is an instance in which it would work? Thanks

[@ram43x80]

Would of been interesting if you knew when these adjustable drivers came out not just some years ago ;)

[@mikeytreees]

I need the adapter off my stock shaft to be able to replace it with a new one?

yes

You can buy the adapter separately

its called a python puller, no linger made. I would recommend the reverse thrust puller from golf mechanix

Where do you buy genuine Taylormade tips? They have aftermarket knock offs on eBay, but not genuine Taylormade.

[@MississippiWopGenius396]

saw a video on putting the shaft adapter in boiling water for 5 minutes- I wonder if that would work as far as to allow you to re use the adapter?

[@MississippiWopGenius396]

for a callaway xr 16 driver

[@McGolf]

For calmly I would worry about the plastic piece at the end of the adapter. If it stays in place and didn’t distort I would guess yes
