TIPS ON USING FAZ-FIT ADAPTERS
FAZ-FIT hosel adapters should always be installed before attempting to
install shaft sleeves. This will make the installation process considerably less
time consuming.
FAZ-FIT hosel adapters and shaft sleeves should not be installed without a
comprehensive understanding of our assembly methods. Also, FAZ-FIT
products can not be used without our FAZ-FIT Installation / Fitting Tool.
The additional weight of FAZ-FIT adapters will add an average of 3.0 swing
weight points to a finished club. To minimize the additional weight we
suggest that you use heads that are 3-4 grams lighter if possible.
We suggest that you add an additional 1.25” to the recommended tip
trimming instructions in order to make up for the lack of shaft insertion within
the hosel.
We also suggest that you use grips of at least 52 grams. Lighter weight grips
will yield a heavier and less desirable swing weight.
Never allow for a club to be tested without tightening the connector by using
our FAZ-FIT Installation / Fitting Tool. The use of any other tool will void our
warranty and may cause failure.
FAZ-FIT hosel and shaft adapters are available in .335, .350 and .370
diameters. We do not recommend shimming or altering hosel adapters or
shafts to fit components that will not accept one of our stock offerings.
To properly tighten the FAZ-FIT adapter with our tool, be sure to use the
open end of the wrench adjacent to the small hex port for woods and the
larger end of the wrench adjacent to the larger hex port for irons.
If using the club during the course of play it is helpful to remove all moisture
and loose debris from the connector upon completion of your round.
Occasionally you should clean the threaded area of your FAZ-FIT connector
with a cotton swab and oil. This helps it maintain functionality for prolonged
use.
If using the adapter as a semi permanent or permanent connection the use of
a thread locking formula is recommended to prohibit the likelihood of
moisture and foreign matter penetrating the threads.
For proper installation, you will need a 7/32" hex key for .335 / .350 adapters and a 6mm hex key for .370
adapters. Do not proceed unless you have these tools available!
Insert the proper hex key into the adapter and slip the nut over the adapter so that the threads are above the
stem that goes into the hosel. Sand on a belt sander or by hand.
Once sanding is complete you should clean the adapter with acetone.
FAZ-FIT HOSEL ADAPTER INSTALLATION
Prepare your shafting epoxy. The use of 24 hour shafting epoxy is strongly recommended.
Do not use shafting beads as the material may get on the threads of the hosel adapter and could cause thread
locking or cross threading.
You should also gather some cotton swabs at this time! You will need them as you move further along through
the installation process.
==
Make sure that you have the nut properly installed on the hosel adapter. Carefully apply a minimal amount
of epoxy within the hosel as well as to the outside of the hosel adapter. The use of too much epoxy will
cause problems so be sure to use just enough to get the job done.
Re-insert the proper sized hex key within the hosel adapter and press completely within the hosel of the club
head so that the bottom of the nut is seated flush against the top of the hosel.
Align the hex key so that the handle is running parallel with the club's leading edge as shown. It is critical
that this step be performed the same manner on each and every hosel adapter in order to produce proper
shaft alignment within your system.
Carefully remove the hex key from the adapter. If the adapter moves slightly, press, against the top of the
the hosel adapter inside the nut with the dull end of a drill bit. This will ensure that the adapter is fully seated.
If necessary, clean up all excess epoxy within the hex port of the hosel adapter with acetone and a cotton
swab. Be careful when you remove the swab not to get epoxy on the threading of the nut!
You should also clean the area where the hosel meets the compression nut several times to remove all
excess epoxy. The less epoxy residue you have in this area the more freely the nut will spin.
After clean up is complete re-insert the hex key and double check your alignment! Allow the epoxy to cure!
Once the epoxy has cured, engage the compression nut with the Installation Tool and break the epoxy
bond while you continue spinning the nut. It helps to push the nut against the top of the hosel during this
process to remove the dried up epoxy residue.
Clean the inside and outside of the adapter with acetone and the nut should spin freely. If it does not spin
freely then you used way too much epoxy! Once you get it to spin freely you are ready to proceed to shaft
installation!

Insert shaft sleeve into the Installation Tool and prepare the inside of the shaft sleeve by using a sanding
mandrel or sandpaper.
Once completed, clean the inside of the shaft sleeve with acetone and a cotton swap.
This will ensure that you will get the strongest possible bond and will allow the shaft to better adhere to the
surface area of the shaft sleeve.
FAZ-FIT SHAFT SLEEVE INSTALLATION
Follow the recommended tip trimming instructions for the shaft that you are using and add an additional
1.25".
This additional tip trimming is necessary to counter act the lack of shaft insertion within the hosel.
If there is not enough parallel tip section to add the additional 1.25" then add as much as possible.
==
With a set of calipers, mesure 0.925" from the end of the tip section and place a piece of masking tape
around the shaft. Make a reference mark on the shaft to identify the installation position you wish to have in
the twelve o'clock position or toward the toe of the club.
Prepare this area of the tip section as you normally would. Once completed, you should clean the tip section
with acetone and a shop towel prior to installation.
Prepare this section of the shaft as you normally would.
Upon completion of shaft preperation clean the tip section with acetone and a shop towel.
Insert the shaft sleeve into any head with a previously installed and fully cured hosel adapter so that the
location (dot) which is milled into the shaft sleeve is in the twelve o'clock position or toward the toe of the
club. Tighten the nut with the Installation Tool to be sure that the shaft sleeve is fully seated.
Prepare your shafting epoxy. The use of 24 hour epoxy is recommended! Apply the epoxy to the inside of
the shaft sleeve and to the tip section of the shaft.
Install the shaft matching up the location of the shaft that you wish to be in the twelve o'clock position
aligned with the location (dot) milled into the top of the shaft sleeve. This is the position that will be visible
by the player at address.
To be certain that the shaft is fully seated within the shaft sleeve you can lightly tap the butt end of the shaft
against the ground. Clean up any excess epoxy and allow the shaft to dry for the appropriate curing time.
Once the epoxy has reached full cure you can butt trim to the desired playing length and install your grip
using normal assembly procedures.
You are now ready to see the full range of interchangeability that FAZ-FIT has to offer. ENJOY using the
product and remember.. if you want to fit fast you have to FAZ-FIT!

FAZ-FIT HOSEL ADAPTER REMOVAL
Step #1
Apply heat to hosel using either a heat gun or a butane micro torch.
Step #2
Insert a hex key and rotate vigorously in either direction to remove adapter. Be
sure not to touch the adapter with your fingers as it will be very hot!
Step #3
Use a cleaning brush or drill bit to remove excess epoxy from bottom of hosel.
FAZ-FIT SHAFT SLEEVE REMOVAL
Step #1
Wrap a piece of masking tape around shaft just above the shaft sleeve to prevent
scratching of the shaft during the shaft removal process.
Step #2
Install into a shaft extractor and apply heat directly to the shaft sleeve with a heat
gun or butane micro torch. It should less than 20 seconds to break the bond.
Disassemble as normal.
Step #3
Allow shaft sleeve to cool down because it will be very hot. Clean inside of shaft
sleeve with a hosel brush and acetone.
