I play Calloway XR Pro irons and lately I've noticed the ferrules creeping up the shaft. At first it was just my 7 iron but now I've noticed it on multiple clubs. They slide firmly back down the shaft in the club head when I push them down but I'm not sure if they should be moving at all. Is this a normal issue or should I be returning this set? I love the way they feel and play so I'd hate to get rid of them. Would something as simple as epoxy or super glue be a feasible plan to keep them in place? Thanks for answers beforehand!

Super Glue Is easier than epoxy, both would work.
You only need a small amount, put a drop on the top of the club head on opposite sides and slide the ferrule down flush.

Thank you sir. Glad to know I'm not the only one to have had this issue.

It's fairly common. Sometimes the wrong sizes are used, they are very difficult to visible see.
Shaft diameters are only a few millimeters in differences.

Another suggestion, place the drops on the shaft about an eight inch above the heads.
The glue will run down to the top of the head. The glue will then hopefully absorb to the inside of the ferrule as well.

Usually when clubs are assembled, the Epoxy oozes out of the club head and the ferrules are then pushed down.
Any excess is then wiped off and cleaned up.

I've been playing 50 years and have never had this issue, but that doesn't mean you need to send the clubs back. Like Club Rat said a couple small drops of super glue will do the trick!

It's not uncommon for ferrules to come loose.  Some companies do not epoxy their ferrules on when they assemble the clubs, or they can come loose from being in a hot environment like the trunk of a car.

One suggestion I would make before you glue them back down is do a quick check to make sure the heads aren't loose too. Hold the grip with one hand and grab the head with the other and try to twist it.  It just take a second, but better safe than sorry. You'd be surprised how many guys hit a shot, the head flies off and it goes in the water or somehow they lose it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
