Hah! I agree: there's practically zero money in reshafts unless you get full retail plus labor plus spining, freq-ing, weighting etc. All that takes too much time.
But regrips? Easy money. Loft and lie? Easier money. I paid for my Scotland machine in a couple weeks (sold it recently - sorry I did). I haven't been doing much club work of late. Some grips, some shafts, but that's about it. Our pro hired a kid who's killing them at the club. $8 to $10 regrips, $7 angle adjustments, $20 - $25 to shove a new shaft in a driver head. More power to him. Hell of it is nobody's complaining. If that was me a few years ago customers would be leaving in droves. I still have my old "Tempo Trainer" that's always worked well. Swing speed and swing tempo measured easily. Frankly, there isn't much use for it these days but I still check out a few players occasionally - free, of course. Ah well - retirement's pretty good.
