One of my regulars said his racquet felt different during play. We then discovered the shaft had came loosen from the handle.
I offered to assist since I have extra epoxy to spare.

Removing the shaft from handle, there was a layer of pinkish powder on the shaft. Hence these had to be removed from the shaft and from inside the insertion point on the handle.

| Initial condition upon removal of shaft from handle |
After applying a generous amount of epoxy on the shaft, I re-inserted the shaft back into the handle. Epoxy came oozing out due to the tight tolerances. I then had to quickly cleanup the extra epoxy and place the handle on the floor (with precision). Used part of the logo on the handle backcover as reference to ensure it was parallel to the floor. Satisfied, the re-assembly was left to cure overnight.
Felt ok upon handling the next day. The owner was happy to have the re-assemble racquet back.
