Tom, I am planning on selling these shafts. The fact that the tip
section is a full inch shorter then what I find on True Temper's
website is what's concerning me. The shafts do fit properly into
tapered hosel heads, nice and snug, and there is no evidence that
someone tipped these shafts, just p
You're not talking about tip trimming are you? If they're taper tips there is

the hosel of a TT head and tipped the shaft, or . . . stuck them in a parallel
head and shimmed them. I have a set of component copy Ping G
