Need help to find shaft diameter of my 3 wood

[Silver]

I've googled and can't seem to find it. I'm about ready to replace the shaft in my 3W. I have a Powerbilt TPS 180 15* and for the life of me have not been able to find out what size of shaft goes in there.

If anyone is better at Google than I am or knows another way to find out, I'll be very grateful.

Thanks!

It is .335

Anything PowerBilt that I can find as far back as 1998 is a .352, which is a .350 replacement. Apparently, it takes standard ferrules too.

I can't say for certain that your fairway carries these measurements, just letting you know what I found.

Sometimes working backwards helps. Lots of places have OEM shaft replacement sheets and your fairway might be listed there. I got most of this info from Golfsmith's site, with a little help from the clubmaker's forum...

I have began to reshaft clubs now and nearly every fairway I have came across is .335 so I'm really just guessing I will have a definite answer for tommorow.

Also I got a little metal plate type thing that measures all tip sizes and my sonartec is .370 my driver is .355 and my 3 wood .335 as are the titleist 980f and most others.

Best I could find was the tip on the TPS 400 driver is a .350.

Not sure about the fairways though.

 

[Rockford35]

S,

Don't know if this is the same model as what you are using, but this came from the Golfworks website. It states they are .350 tips, as I said before....

Well, not the same, but I presume they probably used the same diameter. Just to be safe, I'll not rely on TM's assumptions and wait until I get an email back from PB.

Thanks for looking Rock.

TM, you probably should at least say that the .335 is a guess, because if Silver had bought a .335 shaft, you could have really ticked someone off.

I did say it was a guess.

 

[The master]

so I'm really just guessing I will have a definite answer for tommorow.

Look at this post I said it was a rough guess.

 

[nsherman2006]

It is .335

were you planning on adding 'my guess to that' BEFORE you were called out?

 

[Silver]

TM, Neal's right. If no one else had said anything AFTER you posted that and I had relied on it, I would have been pretty pissed if you were wrong.

But...it's not worth fighting about because you admitted it was a guess, so let's just drop it.

 

[The master]

About 5 minutes after I didn't think he would get the shaft that quick, sorry for my instint guess it will not happen again.

 

[nsherman2006]

no problem TM, but it never hurts to be careful
