It can be said that maintaining a good club is as important as a samurai taking care of his own weapons. However, some golfers often only care about playing and neglect the daily maintenance of the club.
Shaft maintenance: Another component that needs to be checked frequently is the shaft. The shaft is easy to damage the shaft during travel, often hitting hard turf, tree roots, sand pit or other negligence. For this reason, you should always check the shaft for straightness, bending or other damage. If you ignore the inspection, if the shaft breaks, it may not only hurt you, but also your companion.
The way to check the shaft is to place the club flat on a workbench or table and observe whether it is straight. The metal band of the hosel should be checked frequently, because this is an “accident-prone area”. If there are signs of separation between the ferrule and the club head, you should pay attention to whether there is a real problem. Then check whether the grip is perpendicular to the face. If so, it means that the shaft is still connected to the head, but it has just begun to loosen. If it is not vertical, the looseness has been severe.
Even if there is no problem, you can consider replacing the shaft if necessary. Changing the shaft can improve performance, increase stability, improve accuracy and extend the hitting distance. There are many models of shafts on the market to choose from.
