I've had my new callaway xr irons for 2 weeks now and noticed today that the ferrule is coming loose from the head on my 7 iron. Pressed it back in and it was fine for another few shots but came loose again. Is this an easy fix and should this come loose so quickly on new clubs?

It shouldn't come loose. I'd take it back to where you bought the clubs or contact Callaway. They're known for their great customer service.

Thanks, I pressed it back in so I'm guessing I'll need to wait until it comes back out again to show then what I mean.

It's not a huge deal. Won't change the club at all. You could just super glue it back.

It's just more annoying as I only recently got the clubs brand new. Guess that could happen any time?

The ferrule is a cosmetic feature of the golf club - it looks pretty, but doesn't influence performance. For clubsmiths, installing and finishing a ferrule adds about 20 minutes of labor time to each club you reshaft.

Some iron models don't have ferrules. Examples include...

* Ping irons - A majority of the models carry no ferrule. This includes G-series, i10 and i15, and S59.  (A number of the pre-2000 models also lacked ferrules, but I can't say if all lacked them).

* Callaway X-series... X-12 through X-22 (standard/ non-tour) had bore-through shafts with no ferrules (just a soft plastic ring where hosel met shaft). Below is original Callaway S2H2 model iron head.

In Callaway irons, the no-ferrule style ties to its S2H2 technology and bore-through shafts. Details:

Features & Benefits

These irons provide a golfer with considerably greater distance – with seemingly less effort – along with higher trajectory and increased backspin. They impart more positive head feel throughout the swing and better control of the ball at impact for greater confidence and more enjoyment. The "Short, Straight, Hollow Hosel" (S2H2) is a breakthrough Callaway Golf design that shortened the tradition hosel length, allowing weight to be moved lower and to the more useful perimeter area of the clubhead. The hollowed-out or Tru-Bore Technology is part of the S2H2 design and allows the shaft tip to extend through the clubhead to the sole, which improves feel and control.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
