Materials Needed

Protective Gloves (preferably not baggy ones like I’m unfortunately using in the video) and Eye-wear

the towell and rubbing the shaft will get it hot enough to mildly burn your fingertips if you touch it. have done it while playing golf, when u hit a rock under the turf. best way to do it for sure

Thanks for the responses - I just had a go at the towel method and it worked a treat. That should be a pinned topic!! I had searched for shaft and bend/bent but you just get a tonne of posts about lie angles. I love GolfWRX!

cool - it was bent at the second step up from the hosel - About a third of the way up the shaft. I bought the set for a pittance so to start re-shafting would have ruined some of the 'bargain-ness' of the set!! Plus I have no idea if my proshop would have had one of the older sensicore shafts in stock. Thanks again!

If there's just a curvature in the shaft, bend it using the towel method. If the shaft has a kink or crease, reshaft it. You don't want the shaft to let loose and hurt anyone else.

I need to stay out of the rough and from I between trees and fences. Bent my 7i today. Will try this towel method before shelling out for a new Project x 6.5.
