Step 1
Place the shaft, or what remains of it if it is broken, in a vise parallel to the floor. Secure the shaft in the vise.
Step 2
Apply heat evenly to the hosel for about a minute, using a heat gun or heat torch. This will break down the epoxy that bonds the shaft to the hosel and make removal easier. If you are working with graphite shafts, use a heat gun, not a torch. Wear goggles and protective gloves.
Step 3
Remove heat from the hosel and twist the club head counterclockwise. It should twist off fairly easily. If it does not, apply more heat.
Step 4
Clean out any remaining epoxy in the hosel. Begin using a file and scrape away the residue, then apply a solvent to a small rag and wipe down the interior of the hosel. You may want to push the rag in with the tip of a screwdriver or similar tool.
Step 1
Completely cover the head of the club with masking tape to prevent the head from being scratched during the process. Now, place the club in the vise, so that the middle of the shaft is the part being held in the vise. Make sure the club is held securely.
Step 2
Take the utility knife and cut off the small plastic piece at the base of the shaft, also called the "ferrule." If the ferrule doesn't come off easily, use the butane torch to heat it a bit, and then it should come right off.
Step 4
Apply pressure to the clubhead, while applying heat to the hosel at the same time. Continue doing this until the epoxy bond has softened and the clubhead comes off easily.

Hey!! I'm Zach, the founder of The DIY Golfer. I created this site in 2015 while playing D1 collegiate golf to help myself understand the game of golf better and improve as a player. Fast forward a few years, and it has become much more than a journal.
Step 1
Carefully clamp the shaft into a vise using a Shaft Vise Clamp. It is recommended that the ferrule be warmed slightly to soften it, using a torch or heat gun. After warming the ferrule, cut the ferrule off of the shaft using a Hyde Knife.
Step 2
When removing steel shafts from clubheads, use a torch to heat the hosel. Aim the flame of the torch at the hosel and apply heat for about 30 seconds. A standard hand held torch (as shown) can be used or the Pro Torch or Pro Plus Torch.
Step 3
After 30 seconds of heating, with your gloved hands grasp the head and twist/pull the head. If the head does not loosen, repeat the heating process in 15 second increments until the head can be removed.
Step 4
Using a wire brush remove excess epoxy from the inside of the hosel. If this is done while the clubhead is still warm it will be removed much easier
Step 5
Once the hosel has cooled, apply Blue Away to a paper towel and rub the hosel to remove any heat marks created by the heating process.
Step 6
Measure the shaft tip with a Shaft Identification Gauge. Most iron shafts will be either a .370″ or .355″ tip and metalwoods a .335″ or .350″ tip size. Select a shaft using the Shaft Playability Factor.

Goo gone has worked the best for me after you tear the sticker off--the goo gone will get the rest of the sticky stuff off and then just wash with soap and water to get the greasy goo gone all the way off#N#My wife already thinks I'm a crazed golf nut...

Did you say "Adams" peanut butter? Now that's some forward thinking cross-polinational maketing strategy. (Did it come in a box rather than the traditional jar?)

Of all the many products on the market guaranteed to safely remove sticker glue, you come up with PEANUT BUTTER?

I recently purchased some clubs and tried removing stickers on the shafts, which left glue/sticky residue on the shaft. I searched online and found several methods of removing the glue. I heard nail polish remover and paint thinner. I really didn't want to try either of those on my graphite shafts and wedge/steel shafts.

I use goo gone. It smells good and doesnt damage anything. I think its like $4 from home depot so its cheap too.
