I recently got a different shaft for to put in my Titleist 917 D3. Basically I mixed the epoxy up put a good amount inside the adapter and then coated the shaft itself after scuffing the tip for a better bond and glued it all together.

Good idea, that actually never even crossed my mind as far as the inside of the adapter. Would you recommend getting a new ferrule or could i leave the on thats still glued on there still if everything fits up properly?

Agreed, my last question is should i use a different epoxy? The stuff i've been using has a 3200 psi strength and I see on GolfWorks website their maximum strength epoxy has a strength of 4500 psi?

I think the stuff i've been using is made by Loctite and it's not super old but not brand new either. Yea i'll try cleaning as much of the epoxy i can off the tip of the shaft. Hopefully a heat gun will work without damaging the shaft and allow me to get the stuff out from inside the shaft as well. There's virtually none inside of the tip as it is.

Hopefully, i reassembled it yesterday after work, i used a round file, then some sandpaper to try and scuff up the inside of the tip and then cleaned it out. I'll let ya know the outcome if I get a chance to use it after work today or tomorrow. Thanks for all the help so far.

Hopefully, i'm not speaking too soon but so far it seems the issue was the inside of the adapter itself as previously mentioned. I used a file and sandpaper to rough up the inside of the tip and then cleaned it with acetone which appears to be the solution. Thanks for all the help on this one. Greatly appreciated.
