The following recommended directions to remove Callaway FT series driver heads from graphite shafts will save the shaft for future use.

You will need the following tools and supplies:

 -  Mitchell® Golf 1/8” x 48” Steel Shaft Rod - Used for two purposes:
       - To clean out epoxy that is in the inside diameter of the shaft.
       - As a heating rod to breakdown the epoxy bond.
 -  Mitchell® Golf Graphite Shaft Puller and
    Shaft Puller Adaptor (Newest Version)
 -  Cool Gel
 -  Propane Torch or Heat Gun
 -  Electric Hand Drill

Step 1.)  Use the Steel Shaft Rod to probe down the shaft to determine if there is any material or epoxy in the inside diameter of the shaft that will prevent the heating rod from penetrating to the bottom of the shaft. This helps prevent damage to the shaft and allows for breaking the epoxy bond without excessive heat.

Measure and mark the depth penetration of the Steel Shaft Rod by inserting it down the shaft through the grip hole. Remove and compare depth by laying Steel Shaft Rod along back side of shaft.

Step 2.)  If it is determined that the Steel Shaft Rod does not penetrate to the bottom of the shaft, insert the flat tip end down the shaft through the hole in the grip. Attach electric hand drill to the Steel Shaft Rod and proceed to “drill” out the material. You may have to remove the grip from the club to remove the debris.

Step 3.)  Insert the Steel Shaft Rod again to determine the length the shaft penetrates within the metal area of the head by repeating step 1. Only heat the rod within that length. If heat is applied above the metal area, damage to the shaft and ferrule may result.

Step 4.)  Spray Cool Gel around the ferrule area to protect it and the shaft from damage.

Step 5.)  Clamp driver into Mitchell® Graphite Shaft Puller and install Shaft Puller Adaptor. For additional protection to the paint finish on the driver head, place a piece of cloth or chamois between the Shaft Puller Adaptor and the head.

Step 6.)  Heat the pre-determined length of the tip area of the Steel Shaft Rod to an orange color. Allow it to cool to a light grey and insert it down the shaft. Make sure it is inserted to the bottom of the shaft. You may have to repeat this step more than once to break down the epoxy bond.

Step 7.)  Once the epoxy bond is broken, use the graphite shaft puller to remove the head.

Step 8.)  If the ferrule bushing remains in the head, you can reuse it if you are certain it’s epoxy bond is secure. Otherwise, replace it with an aftermarket ferrule bushing.
