I've got a couple of ferrules come loose on my new callaway xr irons and the local store said they'd have to remove the head to fix them but if there was a weight in the head this would have to be taken out. Anyone know if this is the case, why this would be and whether I'd feel a difference in the clubs?

Ferrels are only held on by friction and sometimes excess epoxy... If they are too loose just glue them down yourself.

I tried the hot water method just now. Although I've managed to get it flush again I gave it a quick tug to see how firm it was and it slipped down again. I reheated the ferrule and pressed it in again. Guessing that forcing it with your hand would make it slip anyway?

Be careful using "hot water" not only will it cause the plastic ferrule's to swell, it could break the epoxy resin which holds the club head to the shaft. Next, the heads could go flying off !!!

Some ferrule's do seat into the top of the hosel, most are flush.

As mentioned above by Nick, simply apply a small amount of epoxy on top of the club hosel. Then push the ferrule back down to the club head.

Wipe off any excess, allow drying/curing and they should stay in place.

Yes the club head can be removed if new ferrules are required for repair.

Bummer it happens, but it's your choice, send them back for warranties and be without, or make the easy repairs yourself.

Sorry I meant to say that I tried it on my old iron first incase any damage was caused. I was worried I might damage the new one. It seemed to stay in place but could a forceful tug pull it back out or would the heat make it swell in place?

Shaft diameter vary, some are tapered and others a called parallel.

Ferrules are made for specific sizes.

If the shaft is tapered and the ferrule is pushed to high up the shaft, they will stretch.

They are a soft plastic and swell when heated.

As I mentioned, heat will also cause club head problems, beware.

Best to not heat them, they can be pressed back down easily.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
