TM R11 Hosel Help

Does anyone know where I might pick up or get a hosel for an R11 Driver? Or even point me in the right direction... Mine has cracked and although I'd love a new driver! I really dont have the funds at the moment. It cracked right where you change the degree settings of the driver.

Don't even know if this be possible to get as driver is a few years old just have tape on it at the moment.

Alliexpress mine just arrived yesterday it took 3 weeks though. Quicker option though more expensive is ebay. Just check what the postage time will be as some take a month if coming from China. Also make sure you know if its a .350 or a .335 bore you need.

How do you find out which bore it is? how much did it cost? Is there no where here that you could get one. Sorry for all the questions not great at this stuff..

Should easily get one off any of a pro shop who stock Taylor made. Not an easy job to do at home so best let a pro repair for u. Shouldn't cost anything over €20 for full repair.

If its the original stock shaft that came with the driver its .350" but if its an aftermarket shaft it could be either .350" or .335".
You would need to measure the shaft diameter above the hostel to be sure.
It costs about 8 to 11euro on alliexpress and about 15 to 18 EU on ebay (with faster postage).
Do you have the glue?
You might be better off to go to a club fitter or proshop I can't see them charging you more than 40eu! (I might be way off). No harm to ask.

if it were me Benny I'd be straight into your club pro.

I have a R11 I don't use. I will bring it with me Saturday for you to take a look at.
The only thing is would you be happy using a club that came from THE REAL CAPITAL.ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Hey Benny, if you've time to drive down to Cork before Dundrum house Saturday you could chance these lads in Glanmire: http://www.drivegolfperformance.com/ give them a buzz & see if they can have the part & repair on the spot?

I think you have to allow time for the glue to set. At least a couple of hours.

Didn't know you moved to Dublin!

I wouldn't have time Ken, cheers though. I'll be in the Spawell driving range later might ask them... Although I did smash a great drive after I noticed it so might be ok with tape for time being.. till I treat myself to a new driver

Just wondering would Mcguirks or Halpenny be able to fix it or would they be pushing you to get a new driver?

I would say so for McGuirks etc. but better chance in a club shop... any club
I'm not sure about Spawell, but they are part of Carr Golf AFAIK, so they will definately be able to get it done for you. They have Castleknock also, and have all the gear out there for doing shafts etc.

benny79 · 16-05-2018 03:20PM

Played Castleknock last Friday in a job outing haven't played it in a few years! My god its in some condition! not a hair out of place.. Pro shop was a bit pricey but suppose most are.. I often got clubs regripped in the Spawell so they might be able to help or point me in right direction.

charlieIRL · 16-05-2018 03:28PM

I've a spare R11 here as well Benny if you are stuck.

benny79 · 16-05-2018 04:54PM

Cheers Charlie! Prefer to get mine fixed though seems a small enough job its just finding where and who would have a hosel. Worse case scenario I'll order one off the net Im sure 1 of the lads could tell me what one I need at the next outing..
