Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Callaway x-14 reshaft
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.
