Re: URGENT HELP ShopTalk: big bertha shaft replacement]

For cryin' out loud! Use a little initiative and do a google search. I'm not trying to flame you but jeez, it's such a simple thing to do.Type in callaway replacement shafts. At the very  top of the results you'll get a Golfsmith page. Click on that. Then go to the PDF file of OEM replacement shafts.   Or, get your favorite suppliers catalog out and look for lightweigh, cheap, graphite shafts. Buy any 60 - 70 gram shaft. BB shafts are crap anyway so anything you buy will be an upgrade. Get a Graftech Lite for $6.95. Get a Rapport lite for $24.00. Get a generic Maltby for $14.00. Get a UST ultra lite for  $14.95. Take a ride to GS and pick up any light shaft.   Firm it up? Tip it. Add an inch? Most shafts are 46", which is an inch longer than Callaway standard. If you tip a shaft you'll have to plug the butt end.   Too bad you're in a hurry. I think I have a couple of GBB pullouts somewhere in my pile.   By the way. You should specify which Callaway BB you're talking about. Is it in fact a BB, a Biggest BB, or a GBB? Actually it doesn't make much difference in shaft selection. They're all crap anyway.   TFlan     ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy Ingle To: ShopTalk@mail.msen.com Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 2:01 PM Subject: [Fwd: URGENT HELP ShopTalk: big bertha shaft replacement] -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ShopTalk: big bertha shaft replacement Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 10:38:45 -0400 From: Jeremy Ingle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: ShopTalk@mail.msen.com To: ShopTalk@mail.msen.com A customer of mine called at my house around 9 pm last night with the head of his Big Bertha in one hand and the shaft in the other last year he brought the same club to me with the shaft broken a third of the way up. as it was still under guarantee i sent it back to Callaway and they replaced it (three week turnaround from Canada) this time it sheared off right at the top of the hosel So I said to him" Ok we' ll send it back again" "Can you get it back for me by friday" he says I'm off to Scotland Saturday and Booked to play St Andrews next week."
