How bad is this shaft pull?

[Wolfhammer]

Is this salvageable? Graphite Design YS-7 42" for sale locally. Thinking of taking a flyer on it.

Wouldn’t spend too much time on it unless there is room for you to tip it. Unless the exposed fibers I think I see are deceiving me.

Hard pass. Would make a nice alignment stick though 

[kwcsports]

No good, tip is ruined. Stay away, IMHO

About as bad as a pull can be. Shaft is ruined

Hard to tell if that’s broken down epoxy making it look bad or the fibres are actually frayed. Clear off the epoxy and ferrule and you’ll know for sure.  But if that’s not possible, I’d pass.

That thing is BAKED. Hard pass.

It would make a good tomato/cannabis stake if you have a garden.

I did this to my GD shaft getting careless with pulling a driving iron head…let’s just say I have a very expensive extension to help hang up Christmas lights now.

Someone got overzealous with the propane torch.

That's rougher than a night in jail.  Don't walk.... run away from that one.

[Qegurezi]

It's cooked....literally.
