You might want to take a look at some of the Graman shafts. They have some longer shafts available and a veriety of torque options. The blind bore is the best way to go with a Titileist head. Remeber the further you insert the shaft the lower your torque will be. So If you find a tip stiff soft middle with a long tipping section with a torque that is a little bit higher than your looking for. It might just be the right ticket. If you have a torque measuring system then you can test the torque at the point on the shaft where it would be coming out of the hosel. Usually about an inch to an inche and half from your final tip after cutting for frequency.

Wishon has one that I think will work. I'm not going to insert it all the way. I'll check the frequency of the shaft I'm removing to get me a starting point. He likes them long too. This ones going to be 46" and he's played some drivers up to 48".

A regular shaft puller technique while heating both the hosel and the underside of the head works just fine. Did a good number of blind bores too and didn't have any problems. If you just drill out about 1 1/2 inches of the old shaft you number one don't have to redo the plug on the bottom of the head. and also you don't need to get a shaft especially designed for a bore through head. to have the kick point in the right spot you need to have a shaft that has the extra tip length to account for the depth of the bore through. That's why I always favored a blind bore technique. Titileist has those shafts made special for all their heads so they frequency correctly. Using a standard shaft will probably not work out the way you want it to if you don't blind bore.

Is there anything special I need to do to remove this shaft? Thanks, Tom Janson -- Shoptalk ** Sponsored by the new Aldila Voodoo. Learn more at http://aldilavoodoo.com/
