HAS ANYONE REMOVED THE SHAFT FROM A GREAT BIG BERTHA PRO
SERIES CLUB? Yes, I have done these. CAN THE SHAFT BE SAVED? Yes, you can save the shaft AND the "insert
ferrule". IF SO, WAS SOMETHING USED BETWEEN THE
PULLER AND THE CLUBHEAD TO SAVE THE FINISH ON TOP OF THE HEAD?Yes, use the same "PVC sleeve" that you use to remove the
Ping shafts with the "hosel insert". Mine is made out of PVC and
the grip is blown off so that the sleeve will slide down the shaft from the
butt.WHAT FERRULE WAS USED TO COMPLETE THE
JOB?Save the original ferrule, it will
remain on the shaft when the head is pulled. Place the usual "comb" adaptor
for shaft diameter on the shaft and with your shaft extractor you will be able
to push the original ferrule off the shaft (you may have to warm it GENTLY
with your heat gun to make it expand a little). Don't heat the ferrule too
much to prevent deforming it. Tip: after head is removed, clean the shaft
tip of all old epoxy residue and the "ferrule" will slide off without being
damaged. TIA
Arnie
