Hi guys I'm hoping someone can help me. I bought some project x 6.0 shafts of good old eBay, but a few of them contain something in the bottom of the shafts. Could someone please tell me what they are for and there purpose. Thanks Dean [URL=http://s1007.photobucket.com/user/Deanearle10/media/image_zps40b86d6a.jpg.html] [/URL]

my guess is a factory weight to get the SW correct.

In my Titleist 2014 9.5" Staff bag:

Cobra Bio+ 9* Matrix White Tie X  - Taylormade SLDR 15* ATTAS 80X - Titleist 910H 19* ATTAS 100X - Taylormade '13 TP MC 4-PW PX 6.5 - Vokey TVD M 50* DG TI X100 - Vokey SM4 55 / Vokey SM5 60* DG TI S400 - Piretti Potenza II 365g

I'm guessing a weight plug. Not all clubheads are spot on in weight so eight plugs, or lead powder followed by a cork at the bottom of the shaft will be added to get it close to matching the other irons in the set.  With PX shafts it could even be more needed since the shaft weight varies from club to club, on purpose, longer irons are lighter and shorter irons are heavier.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      So no joke, last evening post work nine must have been the craziest side I've ever played: Bogey, double, double, par, birdie, birdie, birdie, double, birdie. Two gimme birdies, one 15 footer and one bonus bomb from prolly 35 feet on no. 9. Full disclosure, it's a super easy course when greens are running at an 8 with easy welcoming pins. Still, a couple of firsts there. Driver freed me up starting the fourth hole. Anyway, driver notes: 1) anti left left hand grip. 2) no structural bind on hands/grip. 3) left shoulder HAS to get up to chin with humerus completely detached from chest and shoulder socket (feel) Big game tomorrow, aiming to break 80.

      day 44 - slow deliberate swings into the net with a focus on weight shift and hand path. I might sneak out to the garage a few times through the day working on this but my hands are steering to blister lol
