Thanks for the heads up on the pry bar.  I need an economical solution to this right now. :)    Doug   ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Baxter Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 9:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Removing Clubheads   Doug Audirsch wrote:    Today I attempted to remove a steel clubhead from a graphite > shaft and ruined the ferruled AND the shaft!  Hi Doug, Been there, done that.  As you have discovered you have to pull the head straight back on a graphite shaft.  If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a puller Golfsmith sells a pry bar for 18 bux that works just fine.  You can see it on page 119 of the Golfsmith catalogue and don't forget to get a set of protective collars with it.  As to ferrules, I've never worried about saving them---the're cheap, keep a supply on hand. The first thing I do, when removing a shaft, is soften the ferrule (with a heat gun) and cut it off. Bob Baxter Bisbee, Az. Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
