....are pullouts really safe to re-use? Do they weaken from the heat ? I know there are a lot of pullouts for sale every where. I started making my own clubs , but have chosen to go with new shafts , until I know what is best. Any opinions on this ? thanks
If pulled properly a pullout will be fine to re-use. Granted they can be damaged by a novice not knowing what they're doing, but I wouldn't hesitate to re-use a pullout if it was removed properly.
So you mean lets take a Steel True Temper S300 Shaft. There would be no performance change in the shaft or weakness itself if it was reused again, etc...

With steel shafts, pulling them is a little less risky since you're applying heat to steel to break the epoxy down. With graphite shafts into drivers, some are of a deeper bore depth than others and it takes time/patience and the right equipment to do a "proper" pull of the shaft. Carelessness with pulling a graphite shaft from a driver is not a good thing.
In other words, consider the materials you're working with and you get the picture a bit better. That's why when finding out about a pull it's necessary to know who did the pulling knows what they're doing. Always ask and hopefully you're going to get an honest answer.

Take golf-a-holics advise here. You can also tell by looking at the tip to see if they have pulled the shaft correctly. Twisting a shaft while pulling it will cause the shaft to splinter and too much heat will also damage the tip of the shaft changing its characteristics.
I'd have to second the advice on useing a steel shaft again. Not to much change it was harmed, unless it was pulled be a complete beginner that had no idea of what he was doing. With a graphite shaft, I'd have to know that it was pulled correctly, by someone with the knowledge to do it right. Then I'd have to balance the cost of a new shaft and the same model that was pulled and decide if the saving's is worth the risk the shaft was pulled be a complete idiot. It's your money, and your gamble. One last factor is how long is the shaft now, and is that long enough to work with your head? You know it was cut, do you know if it was cut correctly? Was it tip trimmed the correct amount or was it cut only at the butt. Good luck guys.

Always, always make sure to ask these questions before purchasing a shaft. Good Point OnePutt.
Yes, nice point OnePutt about how much was it tipped (if at all)? and raw length?
It never hurts to know what clubhead was it pulled from to get an idea or not if it will work with the intended club you plan on using it in. Bore-depth's differ between club manufacturers....SMT Deep Bore is about 2 3/4" to 3" I believe and standard Taylor Made Retail 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" I believe.
i'm going to use a pulloutshaft to put into my 3 wood. what am i supposed to look for in shaft dimensions? what else besides the tip size matters? and does it matter if the pullout for my 3 wood is originally from a driver?
The tip size should not be larger than the bore size...i.e. if you have a .350 pullout, it won't work with a .335 bore smaller into larger will work with a shim.
Most of the 3-woods I'm familiar with are usually .335 tip, Taylor Made pullouts from stock are usually .350 so that would be a problem. What's the pullout and what clubhead was it in?
I am really glad I have found this place, this is the predicument I am in right now. I went to go get Fitted and was hitting my 5 iron TM Bubble shaft graphite with the burner oversized, I know they are too short for me and I was hitting the golf ball and the Shaft broke right above the head. I know I was going to have to get a new shaft before but this made my decision even easier. The guy had the TT Dynamic Gold and the Precision Rifle. The fitter is going to change the lie/loft and put the Pullshafts for me for 100.00 of those 2 shafts...my question is of those 2 shafts and being pulled which would be recommended for a beginner. The guy said the Rifles are very new but would love to hear all the recommendations from here, thaks.
I'm a little confused by your post. Are you just having the 5-iron fixed? Or is the clubmaker going to fit you into a new set and you're wondering which shaft may suit you best? Is his price $100.00 to install the whole iron set for you in either TT Dynic Gold or the Rifles? Sorry if I'm not following you.
