Golf Shaft Extractor

[Stuart]

Our local pro left for greener pastures, and, due to Covid, we haven't found a replacement. Therefore, I am looking at picking up a cheap exactor to do my own minor fiddling around - mainly removing tips from shafts.

If you are careful, that extractor will be fine.

I have the Golf Mechanix one and its perfect for my needs. I didn't pay that price tag though (much cheaper - ozgolf special)

I agree, more attention and care needs to be used when using these type of extractors.

I cant think of anything you could buy local that's reasonably priced. If you trawl gumtree and ebay maybe...
