Screw on Iron head on normal shaft

[Will29]

Anyone know if it’s possible to epoxy on a screw on iron head used in fittings on a normal shaft or would I need the adapter?

 

Bought an iron head off eBay for an iron I was going to use for practice on the Fujikura MCI practice shaft but the seller never mentioned if having a screw bottom.

Do you have a picture. Could be something that could be modified or inserted within a bored out adapter fitting.

Here’s the head. It’s a Callaway Epic 7 iron.

I think that is an screw in adapter piece. You should be able to take it Champions golf or another club fitter and buy an adapter for the head and the other end for the shaft. It is pretty common for fitter to use those type fittings so they can quickly swap shafts. They are the only guys that have those without buying a large quantity. Maybe available on eBay as well.

Thanks! I wish the guy on eBay I bought the head from was upfront that this wasn’t a normal head.

If you can't get an adapter then it would depend on how tight the shaft fits in the hosel.  If it is tight with a shim or drywall tape then it may be possible to epoxy.

However bottom bore to ground may be different.  Also head weight.

It's most likely that it is a club head from a fitting cart. I'm not aware of any Callaway iron heads having shaft adapters.

The adapter I was referring to is epoxied to the shaft tip and has a female thread in the tip that allows the screw you see to thread into. No different than a driver head or hybrid head  and Callaway shaft. Check with fitter for tipping instructions because the tip stiffness and the overall length of the club could be impacted.

I’ll probably just return the head and pull the shaft from a different club. Seems like a pain the get it to work otherwise.

Definitely off a fitting cart.

What shaft are you interested in?  I have a ton of fitting cart shafts, we may be able to find one suitable.  I can also just take the adapter off of one of the shafts and send it to you if I don't have the shaft you are wanting.  Let me know

Reread your original - to be used on fuji practice shaft -  so send me your address and I'll send you a couple of adapters.  Should not matter but the heat used to remove them discolors the adapter- just to let you know.

Super kind of you. I’ll PM you.

The seller is obligated to disclose the "fitting cart" nature of the head, it's an easy return for a full refund on eBay(*Item Not As Described*), if you ask me. Do as you wish.

You can buy the adapter for these from Billy Bob’s.

I am literally looking on the internet for the exact same problem for the exact same purpose....

 

I have bought a Callaway Rogue Pro 7 Iron off eBay for use on the MCI Fujikura Practice shaft. Gone to fit it and there’s a screw in it.....

 

ive asked the supplier of the head to take it back - but it’s frustrating as I’m dying to try the shaft out.

 

Are the sleeves available to buy in the UK?
