I want to get some used shafts to go in the iron heads that I have which do not use ferrules. If I installed a shaft with 1.5in prep in a 1.25 hosel bore, there would be some extra prep exposed. Is this a cosmetic problem or are there other factors that would need to be considered?

If they're steel it's cosmetic only. If they're graphite then it depends on whether, and how much, the underlying material is affected. For graphite you could put a little ring of epoxy around the top of the hosel for added protection. I've done this with my irons and no problems after a year of use.

      Bailey Shoemaker's Pre-Shot Routine at ANWA

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.

      Day 56 (4 May 26) - Worked on some ball-then-ground drills - going from P3 thru impact - with a slowed tempo, working to keep all parts in sync.
