The head cleanly separated from the shaft and basically just needs to be re-epoxied I assume but I’m just not sure what kind of epoxy to use or really what to do because I really think this is something I can do myself rather than take it to a club repair shop to save a little money. Thanks!

1Make sure you get all the old glue off the shaft (use fine grade sandpaper) and drill the epoxy out of the hosel with as large a drill bit as the hosel will accept. Once you have all the old epoxy out, you can use either a quick set or a 2 part epoxy that you can pick up at any Lowe’s type store and you are all set.

2I used Jb Weld. It has lasted several years.

3Just get a golf shop fix it the cost will be close to you doing it as the cost of a good steel epoxy will only be a little less than the repair but if you want to do it buy a high quaility steel epoxy (it has to be for steel not for a large variety of materials)clean out hosel with sfine to medium sand paper clean the end of the shaft as well mix the two part epoxy and coat thje inside of hosel as well as the shaft slowly twist shaft while pushing them together to ensure a air bubble is not trapped wipe off excess glue and let set a minimun of 24 hours the longer the better good luck
But think about letting the pro do should only cost about 10 bucks and the glue wil be around 6 to 10 bucks to buy any way and if your grips have alingment marks you might align them wrong
Good Luck FOOORRRRREEEEEE

4By the time you prepare the surfaces, buy the proper adhesive, make sure the shaft grip is properly aligned, you have expended time and energy and not yet guaranteed good results. Bring the club to a repair man who knows what he is doing. The cost should be nominal and the job done to perfection.
