Last night after a breaking session, I noticed that on my shaft there are a few 1-1/2" or so scratches (can feel with a fingernail) throughout the base of the shaft. One even nicked the collar. I think that is mainly in the clearcoat but the rest are into the wood. I have thought about sending it in but would probably have 30-40 dollars in shipping plus labor, etc. It isn't in the bridge area so shouldn't affect play and I didn't notice the collar being split.

My question is, is there anything I can do to fix this myself? Would it be worth using as is and saving up for a replacement shaft or more worth it to have the repairs done now?

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. PM's welcomed too.

I feel really bad about this, never happened to me before and am not sure what caught ahold of it.......maybe the pocket irons, I have an antique brunswick with drop pockets.....

Thanks again
 
Ignore it, if its a player its going to happen its just battle wounds, pretty common in that area also.

It wont effect the way it plays, so drive on.

Hit mine plenty of times on Gold Crowns on the metal Brunswick "plaque" on the short rail.
