My first reshaft

I have decided to do my first reshaft on an R7 425 head I have sitting in the basement. I have a .350 driver shaft and the head, from what I have seen, is .350 as well. However when I insert the shaft (prepped, no epoxy yet) into the hosel there seems to be a lot of play. I have tried the same with an old Reax shaft out of an R7 and the fit seems much more snug. The question I have is how much play is too much? Do I need some sort of an adapter? Thanks guys and any help would be much appreciated :listen:

Hard to say if there is too much play without seeing it.

If you are worried about it, just wrap a little mesh drywall tape around the tip of the shaft and epoxy it in as you normally would.

Assuming that the shaft and head are a match dimension wise you have two choices, 1) get .15" shim and pluck off some (alternating) prongs to make a snug fit, and 2) add some centre shaft crystal beads to your epoxy (following the instructions).

Thanks for the replies guys. I will play around with it this weekend :thumbsup
