If you do any gardening, use them as stakes, they'll last for years.
On stepped shafts, sand down the chrome on the second step from the butt end (Sometimes the third step) then cut out and save these as sleeves for shaft extensions.
Take the longer tip cutoffs (from wedges, etc) and sharpen one end. You now have a punch for die cutting foam for shaft dampening. I use at least 2" thick foam for this. The same foam plug can work to hold powder poured down a shaft (Haven't done that in a few years though)
I have an older Slycone graphite wood shaft with the grip left on and a vinal cap over the tip that we use to open and close the living room curtains
Graphite take-outs can also make attractive putter shafts.
Being a Ham Radio operator (Among other things) I've even used a 42" DG wood shaft for the center section of a homemade 2 meter Yagi antenna.
There's more.....but I think Arnie may have covered it.

I have accumulated hundreds of "take out" steel shafts over the years not to mention half a dozen or so boxes of shafts cut into 8 to 10 " lengths!
My question, what do most of you do with all your accumulated "take outs"? any scrap value?
Curious and running out of space.
