Hi, have a customer who dropped off a Ram Accubar Low Profile 4i with broken shaft. Shaft is not broken flush to the hosel. I have attempted to remove the shaft with a butane torch and also a propane torch. No luck in either case. In both cases I have heated the hosel for more than 30 seconds and no indication of the epoxy softening/loosening.

2 Questions:

When RAM manufactured these clubs did they use epoxy or some other method of joining the shaft and club head?

Is drilling the shaft out of the head the only method of removal?

 

Thanks in advance,
