As golfers, we often focus on swing mechanics, grip pressure, or even ball choice—but what about the re-shaft of the club you’re swinging with? It’s one of the most overlooked parts of your equipment, yet it plays a huge role in how the club feels, performs, and responds to your swing.

If your clubs just don’t feel right anymore, it may be time to consider re-shafting. At Kelly’s Golf in Greensboro, we’ve helped countless golfers improve performance and consistency simply by fitting them with the right shafts. So how do you know when it’s time?

How to Tell When It’s Time to Re-shaft Your Clubs

1. You’re Not Hitting It Like You Used To

If your shots have become shorter, higher, or lower than usual, or your ball flight is just inconsistent, your shafts could be working against you. Over time, shafts lose their original flex or suffer damage, even if it’s not visible to the eye.

Solution: A professional shaft fitting can determine the ideal flex, weight, and profile for your current swing speed and tempo.

2. Your Swing Has Changed

Improved swing speed? New stance? Post-injury adjustments? As your body or game evolves, so should your equipment.

The shaft that fit you three years ago might be completely wrong for your game today. A shaft that’s too stiff can result in low, right shots (for right-handed golfers), while one that’s too soft can balloon your shots or cause hooks.

Solution: Come into Kelly’s Golf for a fitting assessment and see if your shafts still match your current swing style.

3. You’re Experiencing Vibration or Hand Discomfort

If you’re feeling excessive vibration after your shots or discomfort in your hands, it could be due to a damaged or worn-out shaft. Graphite shafts especially can break down over time.

Solution: Let us inspect your shafts. We can replace them with newer options that provide better shock absorption and feel—especially important for older golfers or those with joint concerns.

4. Visible Wear or Damage

Dings, cracks, rust, or worn areas where the shaft meets the clubhead or grip are red flags. Even small cosmetic issues can lead to performance loss or full breakage under stress.

Solution: Don’t take chances with your safety or performance. Bring your clubs in for a quick inspection—we’ll let you know whether they’re repairable or need replacing.

5. You Bought Used or Inherited Clubs

Used clubs are a great value, but the shaft may not be ideal for you. If you bought or inherited a set, chances are the shafts were fit for someone else’s swing, speed, or height.

Solution: Customize those clubs to work for you with our professional re-shafting service. We’ll install the right flex, length, and weight to fit your game—and turn that hand-me-down set into your new favorite.

What’s The Difference Between Graphite And Steel Shafts?

Graphite is lighter and absorbs more vibration—ideal for players seeking speed or comfort. Steel offers more control and is often preferred for irons.

Is It Worth The Cost?

Yes—if your clubs are in good condition otherwise, re-shafting is a smart and affordable way to extend their life and get custom performance benefits without buying a whole new set.
