  • Method and apparatus for removing a golf club head from a golf club shaft
    Patent number: 6854170
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for removing a golf club head from a golf club shaft. A clamping mechanism secures the shaft of the golf club within the apparatus while a force mechanism applies sufficient force against the golf club head to separate the golf club head from the golf club shaft upon the breaking of an epoxy bond securing the golf club head to the golf club shaft. Heat is then applied to the golf club head to release or melt the epoxy bond. Simultaneous with breaking the epoxy bond, the force mechanism detaches the golf club head from the golf club shaft.
