Shaft Extractor - What do you use?
So... I want to re-shaft my driver and I'm also thinking about fiddling around with some different shaft/head combinations in some of my woods. Of course, to be able to do this and be confident that I'll be able to save the shaft, I'm going to need a shaft extractor. I don't want to spend a lot of money on this piece of eqiupment because I simply won't use it that much but, at the same time, I don't want a piece of garbage.
I went to the Golfworks store today to check out their selection. Their "economy" shaft extractor was around $100 and didn't impress me much for the price. They also have a better model but it costs about $200... a bit more than I'd like to spend.
I've been eyeing a couple of models available on Ebay but the sellers are located in the US and I'm always a bit leery about getting anything from the US because you never know for sure if there will be customs/duty charges or how much they will be.
The other option I've been considering is trying some sort of a DIY solution. The problem with this is that I haven't seen any plans for one available on the net that don't require some sort of metal-working ability.
So, I was wondering what type(s) of extractors are in use by the clubmakers here?
Any input appreciated. Thanks.
