Golf Club Repair - Titleist 905R bore thru reshaft, 

Great to watch a craftsman do amazing work. Ive had that same driver and shaft for over 15years. Still love the feel and look of the club head compaired to the massive heads of today. Very interesting watching.

905r, a classic!

just bought this exact club on ebay- glad I watched this video. I'm thinking I might just drill out the old shaft rather than take a chance on messing up that internal shim/sleeve you were talking about.

Wish there was someone like you near me. Big name stores do not know what they are doing.

I still have the same Driver @9.5 on a TourAD shaft. Still accurate and sometimes out drives my newer drivers. 👍👍👍

I just witnessed art work. Jim shows so much care in what he’s doing. I’ve had experiences with many clubmakers over the years, and most of them just get things done as fast as possible, sometimes leaving epoxy, little scratches and just general mediocre attention to detail. Jim is not that. He cares about his trade. As time goes by, we are going to lose people that care and demand perfection out of themselves. Great job Jim!

A couple years ago I pulled the shaft from a bore thru 907 D1, was very difficult to remove. Have been waiting for this vid ever since. Now I feel I can do it. Thanks for the instruction.

What a cracking job, Attention to detail, fantastic .. I remember having this shaft and this club. Love your posts especially your manor of presenting. Lovely job.

Excellent work Jim! BZ!

Luv, Luv, Luv the professionalism you put in your work. I still have a couple of 905r's, still like them.

Fascinating, thanks so much, need a lot of confidence to do all that!

The simplest of all bore thru heads to reshaft. That aluminum sleeve made those clubs a pleasure to pull apart.

Hmmm. I have a 905 F in 16.5°. Beauty of a club and perfect for 230-250 yard shots into a green. There is enough spin that the ball just drops and stops. Everyone I try out a hybrid to replace it...just doesn't feel right. And the sound off the face...so nice...just a short, light 'Ting' and it's on the way. LoL.

Hi Jim , I’d love to do your job . For a week or even become your apprentice lol 😂 been a master Technician for BMW I’m working with them since 1996 , and when I’m going any work on my clubs it makes me so happy .

I’ve used that driver for 8 years til I switched to something newer

Great upload again..Have you heard of ( precision protaper performance plus ) irons shafts if so ,are they any good . Your the only person I can think of that might know Thanks regards David

Another option is to partially drill out old shaft and make club standard bore.

Little info. for you 905R is 460 cc the S&T model are 400 cc accor ding to specs.

Another brilliant video Jim, those Graffoloy Blue shafts are like gold dust here in the UK, I've been looking for a couple of months . I have a question I hope you can help me with. I have managed to obtain a complete set of gorgeous Wischon 550M forged iron heads 4-sw plus A wedge with separate Series 5 stiff steel shafts 112 gms weight. All are brand new and never assembled. I do not own a frequency machine YET as I'm just starting to make clubs as a hobby. I propose to trim the shafts in line with Wischon TRIMCHART E suggestions, will this give me a reasonable performance. Heads and shafts are spot on for specified weights but will need to add a few grams to ensure 7 gram club progression through set. Any advise would be greatly appreciate. Colyn Miles Surrey ENGLAND

Great job Jim. Skillful work. I wish I had that talent. Question: Did the bore throughs prevent club breakage? Who still uses them?

Have to replace the sleeve on mine, any suggestions?

Hi Jim , great video, can I ask why you don’t use a hot air gun to remove heads from woods? Doesn’t damage paint work ?

If I were to use the same kind of shaft on a Titleist TSi3 head (To have the same feel as my 905R), how much tip trim should I do? Thanks!

As someone with 30 years plus as an independent professional clubmaker I would advise that you cannot reshaft this particular driver in the way shown. What he has achieved is putting a 7 would flex into a driver. The shaft used should have a tip insertion of 1.5 inches if fitted into a driver and not 3.75 inches. The only way to properly install that particular shaft into this Titleist driver would be a blind bore fitting. The other critisism I would have is that the shaft was not spined prior top fitting so would not be in a stable position.
