I've regripped irons before so I have no problems with that but I'm looking into entending the shafts at the same time. I'm 6ft 1in and wear a hole in the heel part of my glove from gripping right at the end of the club (my gloves are even marked from the red cap of the dual durometers grips!). I also know that Mizunos have 1/4 to 1/2 inch shorter shafts than normal so this may be a contributing factor.
Basically I'd like to know if it's as simple as epoxying extenders into the butt end of the shaft when I've removed the old grip, cutting them to size (I was thinking 3/4 inch) once the epoxy has dried and then regripping as normal? Do the materials that the extender is made from make any difference? If so, which is best: steel, aluminium or whatever?
Would this also have any impact on the flex of the shaft? I can't see how it could as mostly all I'm doing is moving the butt end away from my hands rather than moving my hands further up the shaft.
