Hi Jents, A friend brought a broken Haig Ultra 4 iron to me for repair. This is one that I need to farm out as I'm in the middle of a move and don't have a shaft that I can use anyway. Any takers? Please let me know what your price will be. Thanks in advance. Chris S.

Just shove them in. You could tap them with a mallet. You could also use shafting beads or a shim. Or you could punch the tips with a steel punch to slightly "oval" the tip. TFlan - Original Message - From: "Ralph Harwood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Shoptalk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Mond

RALPH: the whole reason taper tip shafts came about was to create a "swaged" or locked assembly with the clubhead back in times when epoxies did not exist and glues were not that strong. Epoxies today are incredibly strong so even if you don't get a tight lock on tapping/hammering the shaft down

ShopTalk: question about taper shafts

2002-07-08 Thread Ralph Harwood
