Make sure to fully seat the shaft and brass shim to the bottom of the hosel as it will be a force fit. This may require tapping the butt of the shaft on the ground with some force while you have a firm grip on the head and the shaft. Once you have fully seated the ferrule, clean up the excess epoxy and let the club sit to fully cure.

You will still need to use a high strength shafting epoxy on the shaft tip and on the outside of the shim for a good solid bond. It is a little more messy than normal because you have the shim on the tip that will spin around when applying the epoxy but you’ll get the hang of it quickly.

What does spinning a golf shaft mean?
"Spining" (one "n," as in "spine") is a term that applies to golf shafts and describes a process of matching all the shafts within a set of clubs so that their most consistent bending positions all point in the same direction. Spining is a service to golfers offered by some custom club makers and some club fitters.

Prep the shaft and club head by cleaning the old epoxy out of them. If you don’t know how to do this, see how to install a shaft.
Materials Needed
Appropriate Sized Shim (you must know the diameter of the shaft and the diameter of the hosel before buying a shim)

How do y'all feel about shaft shims? I had a fitting the other day and the shafts that fit me best I can only find in .355 and the heads I want them in are .370. It seems like most people just think it's ok to use those brass shaft shims. I trust you guys here though. What do you think? Use the shims or go on a wild goose chase for .370 shafts?
Shambles
I only look to shims and other force fit procedures when left with absolutely no other alternative. There was a time these tricks were necessary but that is no longer the case. There are just too many resources available from the shops that I find it improbable the right shaft cannot be found.

You can use the glass beads to fill the gap. Simply mix it with the epoxy and assemble the shafts and heads. Now the shims ensure that the shaft is centered. I have used shims numerous times and have had no problems with them. I have also used the glass beads. No big deal to me.

I have also used shims in the past on my own clubs and on customers and I have never had any problems. I use plenty of epoxy

Nippon Modus 3 tour 120 x flex. I see reviews that say you can get them in .370, but at golf works, golfsmith, eBay, etc. you can only find .335.
Shambles
Yeah, made some calls today and found that out. They only come in .335. I also talked to a spectacular club fitter who said that If they were the best shafts I should just get them put in with shims. Now I need to find some on the cheap. $500 installed or $37 a shaft isn't cutting it.

Using epoxy to install a shaft is not a difficult task, but I think some people get a bit confused when dealing with different types of golf clubs. Putters are fairly easy to do, but when re-shafting irons and woods, we have to install the ferrule as well, which is a bit confusing to the novice.

Glass beads and I have used the ties for bread and trashbags with he plastic coating taken off, then I will wrap it around the tip a few times and let the ends fold into the shaft so they stay in place. Both work very good, never had any issues.

hmmm, seems like there are a bunch of home remedies. I'm going to see if we have any drywall tape lying around, if not, a can should do. Do you use the can for Vertical strips (like a brass shim) or in horizontal strips?
Nessism
You need the self adhesive fiberglass mesh dry wall tape. Wrap it tightly around the shaft tip. Go around a few times - trial and error will show how many wraps you need. Before inserting the shaft into the hosel, slather lots of epoxy into the mesh tape, making sure the glue penetrates and fills up the spaces in the mesh.
hbear
With drywall mesh, yes the adhesive is what you want. I was taught to cut it into a long thin strip (about a 2-3 boxes) lengthwise and then wrap the tip in a continuous spiral motion....that way it sticks well and creates a great surface to bond. [size=4]Also a lot less messy this way. [/size]

Soda or beer cans. Be sure to sand both sides as they have coatings on them.
bruinsPATSirish
Please don't use masking tape. I scratch up a piece of beer/soda can and then cut it into really thin strips and make them into a U shape around the bottom. Usually one strip works perfect for .335 into .350

I use copper wire hammered to the desired thickness for a tight fit. Two pieces, so 4 sides. The fiberglass tape seems simpler, but I thought you had to keep the epoxy from undergoing compression.
