One of my friends has a set of Callaway Diablo forged irons that he's been using since last August. Strangely, the ferrules on most of the irons started getting pulled from the hosel by a few millimeters. They're not loose in the way that you can move them, but they've got out of the hosel and they won't move up or down anymore. It's happening with varying degrees on most of the irons. It's not affecting playability, but this certainly shouldn't happen. Does anybody have experience with this?

It sounds to me as if the shaft is slowly dislodging from the head. Are they the originally shafted sticks? Could be deffective epoxy. Do you have the possibility to have them inspected by the shop where you got them? If not, get them to a local clubmaker.

Please don´t swing while I´m talking !!

I have FT's and one of my players have x forged, and both of us are experiencing the same problems. As for mine the ferrules are the problem, seems very common for Callaway, not sure why...

I've built a few sets of clubs, and ferrules are prone to slipping. You can put a little epoxy on them before installing them, but I usually just snug-fit them with the clubhead. I've a few slip away from the head for whatever reason. Never been much of a problem.

However, last year I was playing and I noticed the ferrule on my wedge had moved away from the head (or so I thought). On my next swing with the wedge, I hit about 3 inches behind the ball. I didn't think I had made a bad swing, so I looked at the clubhead. It had slipped about an inch down the shaft. So the ferrule hadn't slipped, the clubhead had come loose. The epoxy on the head had failed. Poor workmanship on my part, I guess. That's the only time it has happened to me, but I have seen guys on the range send a clubhead shooting off into the distance.

I have sent an email inquiring about this problem to the Callaway customer service. Still no reply though.
It would be understandable if their ferrule'd irons have this problem, since they usually use these small rind ferrules on most of their irons.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
