I have noticed alot of guys trying different shafts and re-gripping, it would be cheaper for me to try some of this myself.

Starting to research the subject and want too see if it is something I would be interested in doing.
I too started the same way you did. I did not buy any books. Rather, I used Google a lot. There's plenty of information there. I also asked a friend who'd done it before. He gave me a lot of pointers and tricks. I started with regripping and when I felt comfortable with it, came reshafting. Then came the drooling over the many club making things on the Internet, especially.. eBay. This all happened within three months. The friend I mentioned earlier was the same when he started. So were many folks on Internet forums. So like what SolidRockGolf said: this hobby is very addictive. It could get expensive in a hurry, too. I never regret that I got into this hobby, though. It is super fun.

Btw, I happened to stumble upon a couple of bookmarks I've used to find oem shafts, loft and lie. Maybe you'll find them useful. Here they are:

- Golf Club Specifications
- OEM Shaft Replacement Guide
