Trying to buy a new shaft for my R9, is it difficult to install an R9 tip onto a shaft? How is it done? Is it something I should get a pro to do?

Cheers.

I have done a few and it is a piece of piss.

Seriously very easy

You will need a Torx wrench

I would have thought the tip was glued in place Virge :-)

Yep

Tip is glue to the shaft and installed via a torx wrench.

Seriously 3 minute job

Wouldn't it go like this Virge ?:

1) Buy Sleeve
2) Buy shaft
3) prep shaft
4) glue prepped shaft to tip.
5) install shaft as one would normally in an R9 ?

Just be careful where you buy your tips, you can buy generic ones from Golfworks or the proper looking ones from a chick on ebay for about $30USD delivered a piece.

Morgy, not interested in my Grafalloy Prolaunch Red?
I have a spare TP sleeve as well!

Sounds good to me.
