How to Measure Golf Shaft Tips

When installing a new club head, knowing the thickness of the golf club shaft tip is important to ensure a proper fit. A shaft tip that is too small will not secure itself with the glue, while a large shaft tip will not allow enough glue to bond between the club head. With a few tools, you can measure the golf shaft tip to ensure a proper fit into the club head hosel.
