Re: ShopTalk: Callaway x-14 reshaft

[George Iacono]

I recently finished reshafting a complete set of Callaway X-14 irons 
(went from steel to graphite) and experimented with the slitting 
procedure 1st, (using a Dremel tool) and it was quite easy.  I was 
hesitant to bore out the hosel because I was concerned how much weight I 
would take off and didn't want to mess up the swingweight as I had to 
already contend with the swingweight factor switching to graphite.  To 
make a long story short, I bored out the hosel and was quite suprised 
that I hardly had to take anything off, barely lost a gram of weight (if 
that) and it was a considerably easier job.  Although the finished job 
of slitting the tip of the shaft looks kind of neat I recommend boring 
out the hosel.  Swingweights came out fine in the finished product.
