Posted July 5, 200519 yr comment_98718 so it comes to my attention that i need a new shaft in my cleveland driver and i know i can't do the work myself because of the composite top but just for my own peace of mind (also to know what to ask the guy that does my club repair) what are the risks involved in changing the shaft in it?

No risk. Any good clubmaker would be able to do it. Some do it better than others though, like Joe Kwok. He spines it and checks and measures everything. I send my clubs to Joe to get reshafted. Well worth it.
July 6, 200519 yr comment_98729 low risk, heat gun on the hosel and if wants to be extra careful-- wet rag on the rest of head.. with a good puller -- not alot of heat will be needed..
July 8, 200519 yr comment_98881 I have had mine reshafted numerous times. Low heat + cool wet rag on the crown is definitely a must! God Bless Jer
July 9, 200519 yr comment_98900 i have a comp and love the performance when its hit, but i'm having issues with the closed face, anyone out there that can suggest something to do about it or do i have to just deal with it.
July 9, 200519 yr comment_98901 Closed face? Are you serious? I have seen several slightly closed in the 10.5 loft, but that is it. Mine is 9.5 and sits dead square. If it is becoming a big issue, find a tour issue comp and sell your current one. Think of it as putting a new processor in your laptop, lol. God Bless Jer
July 9, 200519 yr comment_98907 Yes, he is serious. I just sold mine because I couldn't stand the closed face anymore and my repair shop said trying to bend it was too risky because of the composite crown & short hosel. :wah: It was a 10.5 but I laid it down against several 9.5's and couldn't see any difference, plus Cleveland told me the face angles of the 9.5 and 10.5 were the same. I liked the clubhead shape even if it is a little too big and it's plenty long but I found myself trying to manipulate the face open at address, so......adios, Comp! (retail anyway).

It's crazy to try to open any driver that doesn't have a steel hosel. On a tour van they have a mold that they put them in to help keep the hosel from bending or crushing the head. The Cleveland Comp heads sit square. Cleveland allows tolerances that could open or close the face very slightly either way. Sounds like you got your hands on one of the more closed ones. My 10.5 sits square. Not by eye, but measured. :love:
September 14, 200519 yr comment_102845 Cleveland comps are cake to reshaft. I do atleast one a week. Like the others said, put a wet rag over the top of the composit crown and use a heatgun just like any other metal wood and you'll be fine. If you're really worried, you can use a hot rod and heat from the inside, but it's really not necessary.
