reshafting

About how much does it typically cost to get a new set of irons reshafted assuming you pre-buy the shafts and take them somewhere?

depending on where you go it could cost you anywhere from $30 a club to costing you your soul.

Do it yourself for like $ .50 per club.

Most places are $15-$20 a club. It's ridiculous really. If you have access to a vise I would recommend trying it yourself. I'd be happy to walk you through it.

This is why i love knowing the person who reahstfs club at a Golf Galaxy where i live. It cost me $14.77 for a shaft, grip, and the reshafting. normally costs around $18 more than that.

Also consider the quality of the work.
Reshafting is one of those jobs that often gets passed down to the person lowest on the totum pole.
I've seen many, many crappy jobs.
You either want to:
a) do it yourself, because no one will take more care on your clubs.
or,
b) make damn sure the person doing it has done it a ton. If given the opportunity, you should be there while they do it.

Things that can get screwed up:
wrong shaft
right shaft, wrong length
right length, cut from wrong end
poor epoxy mix
sloppy epoxy application
club not cleaned well before applying epoxy
no ferule, wrong ferule,...
shaft not completely into the club.
and on and on..

It's not hard, if you have a little knowledge,
and more focus or care for the quality of the work.

thanks for all the help so far...im thinking getting the clubs custom made might be a better idea than buying them then getting new shafts
