A method for producing a graphite shaft comprises the steps of: preparing a tube made of a synthetic resin into which a thermosetting resin powder is put; inserting the synthetic resin tube into the finished product graphite shaft; closing an upper end of the graphite shaft; and placing the graphite shaft in a high-temperature pressurizing apparatus and then heating the same so that the thermosetting resin powder is foamed and filled in a part of the interior of the shaft.
