We can straighten your shaft for you
Using our "Patrick Kennedy" Club Straightening tool, we can substantially straighten a crooked shaft. The tool, shown in our tools section makes it possible to bend your crooked shaft back to straight. We put the shaft in the tool and run a heat gun over the shaft for about 5 to 8 minutes. This process allows the fibers in the wood to realign and take on a new shape. Once the shaft has cooled, after about 5 minutes, we can remove the now straightened shaft. The heat process is done with constant movement so as not to harm the finish on your shaft. We have been able to do this regardless of the finish on your shaft: shellac, polyurethane, or tru-oil. We recommend tru-oil as our preferred finish since it seals the wood and prevents moisture from entering your shaft. It is usually moisture that causes shafts to bend in the first place. Any time you get caught in the rain it is very important to dry out your clubs immediately following play using absorbent towels and it does not hurt to apply another coat of tru-oil once they have dried. It also helps to clean your clubs with Murphy's oil/soap since it will not harm wood shafts. I also use Murphy's oil to clean my iron heads as well by using it with sponge sanding pads (use a fine grit sanding pad or plastic scrub sponge type pad.) We will add a coat of Tru-Oil after we straighten your shaft to protect it from moisture. You can add WD-40 to your club heads after cleaning the rust off of them. This helps to keep rust from forming again.
