I’m considering reshafting my golf driver, but I’m curious about the costs associated with it. I’ve heard a few different things and wanted to get a clearer picture before I decide. Here are some points I’d love some input on:

Price Range

  • What is the typical price range for reshafting a driver?
  • Are there additional costs for custom shafts or grips?

Factors Influencing Cost

  • Does the brand of the shaft significantly affect the price?
  • How do labor costs vary between different shops?

Compare vs. Buy New

  • For those who have been through this, do you think it’s better to reshaft an existing driver or just buy a new one?
  • What factors did you weigh in making your decision?

I’d really appreciate your insights or experiences on this. Looking forward to hearing what you all think!

I’m considering reshafting my driver too. The cost can vary depending on the shaft material. Graphite typically costs more than steel. Anyone know specific prices?

Absolutely! I’ve seen prices range from $20 to $150 just for the shaft itself, depending on the brand and material.

Don’t forget about labor costs, too! Some shops charge around $30 to $50 just to install the shaft. It adds up quickly!

True! I’ve reshafted a couple of drivers, and the total was around $200 after everything! Worth it for the right feel, though!

What brands are you looking at for shafts? Some can be ridiculously priced! I found a decent one from Aldila that was around $100.

I’ve used Fujikura shafts before, and they’re great but usually on the more expensive side. Expect to pay around $150 for a good one.

That’s true! But I found a local shop offering discounts for first-time customers which helped a lot!

Finding local shops can be hit or miss. I’ve had good and bad experiences. Always check reviews before committing!

I got quoted $180 at my local shop, but they really seemed to know their stuff. Sometimes, paying a bit more is worth it for quality work!

Couldn’t agree more! I’ve learned that the hard way with cheaper fittings that didn’t feel right.

I’ll be honest, I thought about doing it myself to save cash. But I would probably mess it up and end up spending more in the long run!

Definitely! I’ve seen tutorials online, but they make it look way easier than it is.

Has anyone here had experience reshafting a driver multiple times? Does the performance really change much with different shafts?

15

I’ve swapped shafts a few times, and I believe it can make a significant difference! It can really help with distance and accuracy if you find the right one.

Plus, it’s a good excuse to customize your set-up! Personalization can really help with your game and make it more enjoyable.

I’ve been thinking about reshafting my driver at home too! From what I gather, you’ll need a few basic tools like a shaft puller, epoxy, and a torque wrench. It can be a fun DIY project if you’re up for it!

I’ve watched some YouTube tutorials, and they make it look pretty easy! Just takes some patience and precision. Anyone here tried it without a lot of experience?

It really depends on the tools you already have. You could spend anywhere from $50 to $200 total on the necessary equipment, plus the cost of the shaft itself. Not sure if it’s cheaper than going to a pro in the end.

That’s a good point! I wonder if anyone has done it successfully and can share their experiences? It could help us make a better decision.
