4- Golf Shaft Tip Preparation

As with good golf clubhead preparation, you also need to prepare your golf shaft tip in order to make sure that they both bond well together.  The last thing you want to happen on the golf course is for the head to come flying off the shaft as you strike the ball.  I've seen it happen.  It's not a pretty sight.

Now that we have trimmed the tip, we need to abrade the golf shaft tip.  At this point of the golf club build we need to insert the tip of the shaft all of the way into the hosel.  Use your magic marker to mark how far up the shaft the hosel sits.  This will show us how far up the shaft to abrade.

Take a strip of sandpaper and wrap it around the shaft between your mark and the tip of the shaft.  Spin the sand paper around the shaft until it is evenly scored all of the way around the shaft up to your mark.

If you are using a graphite shaft, you will want to just barely sand the paint coating off, but do not go any deeper.  Another thing to note, if you are using a graphite shaft that has been nickel tipped, do not take the nickel coating off.  Just take the paint off.

You are now ready to move on to step 5.
