How to remove a club head from any shaft?

• Firstly we have to remove the club head from the shaft. For that take a propane torch and heat the hosel (a socket where the shaft joins the club head).

2. Pell off the grip and the old tap.
3. Clean off the club with grip solvent or you can just simply use any clean cloth.
