Anyone know tip/bore diameter on these irons? I am looking to reshaft soon. I have 1980s fluid feel tour blades and straight fluid feel as well...

Thanks in advance. My guess is the .355

I'd be willing to bet your life that your irons have a .355 taper tip shafts. The .355 was the industry standard for iron for a long long time. Way way back in the day, there were other "goofy" sizes, but now it .355 for taper tips and .370 for uni (parallel) shafts for irons (with a non "fat shaft").

Do your staffs have the red rubber plug in the heel? I still gotta believe (because I never got the guts to remove a shaft from my staffs) that even the Wilson bore thru's used .355 taper tip shafts. Just make sure you remove the rubber plugs before you heat up the heads to remove the shafts. You can buy replacement plugs from the same mail order golf supplier you get your shafts from.

YEP! red plugs on both sets. One set already has S300's, the other has straight 'dynamic' true temper shafts that I may upgrade one day. thanks!

True Temper has drawings on their website to help you distinguish if it is a parallel or taper tip shaft.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
