Easy is a relative term - proper tools make it very easy. No tools make it very hard. OK, not very hard, but we're discussing holing out from 10 feet vs holing out from 30 yards. Both aren't necessarily easy, but one is definitely easier than the other.

How to:

1) Blow/cut grips off
2) Pull heads
3) Clean epoxy from the hosel (easiest done with a freshly pulled head)
4) Cut no more than 1" off the tip of the shaft
5) Prep shaft tip (remove old epoxy, prep for re-insertion)
6) Epoxy head on and extension in
7) Once epoxy is dry, cut to length and regrip

Voilą! Stiffer shafts!

(Actually, the easiest way to stiffen your shaft is viagra. But that's another story)

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
