Why are my golf clubs rotting?
There are so many golf clubs out there that are rotting without their owners even realizing. Often, it’s because golf clubs get left outside in the rain, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes, it could also be because during cleaning, too much water might have been used. Both of these situations allow for water to start running down the shaft, entering any weak areas or breaks in the surface.
What happens if you swing your golf club incorrectly?
When you make an incorrect swing, your club may take some damage. This is what happens when your golf ball makes contact with the club shaft instead of hitting the club’s head, which is what it should hit.
What do clean freaks use to keep their clubs clean?
Clean freaks who love taking good care of their beloved clubs often use things like head covers and dividers to prevent damage to the clubs. This type of golfer also usually wipes their golf clubs down after every hole that they complete before they put the club back in the bag.
Why is it important to beware when buying golf clubs?
Beware of when and how you purchase your golf clubs, because sometimes you might be getting a raw deal. You see, there is this new and growing trend of counterfeit clubs. These clubs are making the rounds, and some golfers are buying in knowingly. Others, on the other hand, simply get duped.
How long do golf clubs last?
Golf clubs typically last a long time. In fact, if you purchase quality clubs and take care of them well, they can last you ten, maybe even fifteen years of use. Some really good quality clubs can even last longer if you take care of them carefully.
How to keep golf clubs from getting wet?
A solution for this is to keep your golf clubs indoors. If you choose to keep them outside, you’ll need to have them under some shelter. This way, you can prevent your clubs from getting too wet too often. If you choose to store your golf clubs outdoors, do make sure that you have some dehumidifiers or silica gel around to absorb ambient moisture. Lastly, always wipe your golf clubs down every single time they get wet – like after a golf game in the rain, for example.
How long does it take for epoxy to dry on golf clubs?
If you plan to DIY your clubs, look for 24-hour epoxy. This means the adhesive will take 1 day or 24 hrs to dry. Epoxy of this kind is more durable – just make sure not to use too much and let the product get into the shaft.

Lifespan
Unfortunately, golf clubs have a life span just like a car. If a set of clubs is older than 10 years old, expect deterioration like broken shafts, heads coming off and grips unraveling. Although the lifespan can be extended by taking care of the clubs, anything beyond 10 years is likely to give problems.
Manufacturing Defects
Like all commodities, manufacturing process errors or faults do occur occasionally. Depending on the period of time and use, manufacturers are likely to accommodate claims that are within reason. They will request pictures, or inspection by their agent in the area to determine if abuse or mishandling is the cause.
Cheap Copies
The exponential growth of golf as a sport worldwide has brought about clubs being a marketable product. In China, where most of the top brands are manufactured, cheaper copy versions have sprung up, and sell at a fraction of top brand costs.
Playing Golf in the Rain
To the die-hard golfer, a bit of rain on the course is no reason to stop playing. As the saying goes; “it does not rain on the golf course”! Playing in the rain is OK, but the treatment of the clubs after the game is an important factor.
Bad Swing Mechanics
Beginners should always take a few lessons from a seasoned pro to get the basics of the golf swing right. This not only will improve your game at a faster rate but will also protect your clubs. Taking deep divots on every shot on hard turf courses will ultimately weaken the shaft and damage the clubhead.
Storing Clubs in The Car Boot
It is easy to throw the clubs into the car boot after a Saturday outing and leave them there until the following game. The temperatures in the boot will affect the longevity of the clubs. The adhesive used in securing the head to the shaft is high class, but the continuous variation in temperatures in the boot will slowly cause deterioration.
Club Abuse
Golf is a very frustrating game and will always test the player’s patience and skill level. It is one of the toughest games to master, due to the finite margins between success and failure on a shot. How often on the tee do we see an “extended” follow through with the club banged into the ground!
How fast can you break a stiff shaft?
After my first post I re-read that you were breaking regular flex and stiff flex shafts. You can break a regular flex shaft across your back by swinging 90 mph or even less. Some stiff shafts only take a little over 100.
Can steel shafts hold up to abuse?
Steel shafts can take quite a bit. But they can't hold up to that abuse forever. The first one the head came off wasn't the glue breaking down unless it slid off the shaft. If it broke at the hosel, the glue was fine. As far as breaking shafts across your back, yea, take some lessons.
Can SMRT shafts break?
SMRT might not be previously damaged shafts breaking at the hosel. The hosel cone is sharp and if you don't use a debuting tool and clean it up before installing the shaft, there's a good chance it'll shear off right there. I've seen it happen to a bunch of people, looked inside the head and you can see it was an improper install.
