Yeah ive wanted to learn how to do it myself only issue is complete lack of space. Live in a major city and am limited to a 1 bedroom apartment that's 650sqft. Oh well. Guess I'll have to get an outdoor storage unit and make it my shop.

Reviving this for more drama and maybe a learn from my mistakes lesson. Before getting my tip adapter changed I had shafts swapped on 4i/5i by another PGA tour superstore location. Took a swing tonight on 3rd hole at my club after hitting arguably best drive I ever have on a particularly tough tee shot, and....

Update: adapters fine. Swing weight was off by a decent amount after change was made (lost some playing length going from TM tip to Ping). Had the tech who helped with repair throw some lead tape to get it back to D3, and was immediately striping it again. All's well that ends well. Thank you all for your advice and insight!

It ended up being reinstalled with just 24 hr long set epoxy and glass beads. Could completely be mental seeing as I'm a head case but my driver feels like complete garbage now.. stability feels very off and overall have a much less stout feeling to it. I am not actively thinking about any of this while playing (actually fairly decent at blocking out bad external thoughts/focusing on task at hand while playing/sticking to pre shot routine). is it possible the reduced diameter could impact stability at all? Or is it a moot point given the epoxy should have given a pretty decent/strong bond as stated in an above comment earlier? Any thoughts or advice appreciated.

Good shout. Here's a photo. Appears to be correctly aligned/the right iteration of sticker.

Thank you so much for the input. Appreciate it.

Legit have no clue if it's real or not. The titleist script in the face of the putter is throwing me off big time. Any help is appreciated.

Will start off by saying I'm an idiot. Brought my shaft into PGATSS to get a simple tip adapter changed from TM to Ping. After inquiring multiple times that they had the correct Ping adapter for newer models in stock, they assured me they did. Went back 2 days later.... wrong adapter installed. Plenty of details I will leave out, long and short of it is got new adapter installed, I let it cure (but only for about 18 hours.. likely my own mistake of listening to pgatss tech saying 12 hrs should be fine), went to play, and upon my first couple swings felt a little crack at the top of my swing while in transition. Wasn't sure if it was a case of epoxy not fully curing/faulty install/or worst case... ruined shaft. Obviously was concerned so I stopped hitting it rest of round. Brought to a local shop with a more experienced tech today who took a look at it for me. No visible cracks in tip to naked eye, however hard to say if there's any damage internally. He said there was a TON of epoxy on it. He also measured diameter and said it may have been over prepped via having to install a 3rd adapter unnecessarily. Pictures attached for measurement (0.3195" if it doesn't work for whatever reason). Herein lies my questions & concerns... is this reduced diameter a cause for concern if the tech who measured installed adapter correctly (long set epoxy, centering beads, etc etc)? Should I be concerned that the shaft will behave differently? Is it a ticking time bomb to eventually fail and make my driver head fly off? Or is this loss of diameter somewhat expected/within normal tolerance when changing tip adapters, and won't cause any difference in structural integrity of the driver/playability of it? Thank you in advance for any thoughts or insights on this one.
