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.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
