This will act to fill the voids in those cases. One word of caution is if all the other clubs you are epoxing at the same time are fine, except for one, reserve the shafting beads for that one club. Pull aside enough epoxy for the individual and mix in a small amount of the shafting beads. Stan:

When this happens, I have to resort to using tape or something so that the shafts don't "drift, or twist. Instead, would you recommend shims? I fear that would eliminate the glue gap.
