I have a question. What difference does it make if a player comes to
your shop looking for an OEM shaft to replace the one he or someone else
broke? I have several hundred matched sets of brand name shafts that
are were pull outs of clubs that were being re-shafted for several
reasons. They are in perfect condition and ready to be reused,
especially for someone that owns one of the name brand club sets had has
a broken shaft that the manufacture can not replace: age, style changes,
etc. . . In the last year I have had several occasions to replace a
broken shaft that is no longer available from the OEM. My clients are
very appreciative of the fact that I have one available for
replacement. Yes I do charge a small fee for the shaft and like wise a
fee for installing it in the clients club. Not once have I had any
problems satisfying the clients needs. That small transaction, with its
fees, has brought me more business than any advertisement I ever paid for.

Why don't you find the local chapter of PGA First Tee and donate them
- they are able to give you a receipt that you can use to verify it as
a tax deduction. That's what we do so we can both help kids in the
game and get a deduction for the effort. If there is no First Tee
program near you that is engaged in clubs for their kids and can't do
that, then you can declare the goods to be "distressed
goods/unsellable", and take them to the landfill
where you get a receipt proving they were disposed of so you can take
them
off your taxes.

Making money recycling golf shafts? That's funny.
We recycle several hundred pounds of steel shafts and iron heads
every year - generally between 700 and 1000 pounds when we go in.
Total return? Less than $50. Hardly pays for the gas and labor to
deliver the scrap to the scrap yard...

knowing that a steel shaft is a recyclable metal, whether deemed to
be steel or stainless, I'm have a hissy-fit if some builder wanted
to charge me while they are not incurring any costs, and in fact are
making recycling $.
