Pay close attention to the trimming instructions for the shaft
that is being used. Some products receive an initial tip trim
to achieve an appropriate flex and are then butt cut to the
finished length, while others are simply butt cut to length
with no tip trim required. If a tip cut is required, mark
the length of the cut with a marker and cut to the appropriate
length.
Next, the shaft must be properly abraded to insure a proper
bond between the shaft and clubhead when the epoxy is applied.
Insert and seat (make sure the shaft is inserted entirely)
the shaft into the clubhead and place tape around the shaft
to mark the amount of insertion depth into the clubhead. This
tape will also protect the shaft from any scratches during
the abrasion process.
Using either a belt sander or utility knife, remove the paint
from the area below the tape. Use caution that you do not
remove too much of the shaft material during this process
as it could lead to loss of performance and breakage during
play.
