JOHN: I can help you with this because I had to remove one of these from its shaft to do testing that was supposed to be for a Golf Digest comparative article on G/ti heads vs all Ti heads earlier this year.
This head is no problem whatsoever to remove because the area of graphite on the crown is pretty small - this the Ti area extends well down from the hosel through the curve into the head. Just use a small flame torch all around the hosel and down on the heel side of the face to get some more heat lower on the shaft tip, and then just use a really good extractor to PUSH the head off as soon as you can after heating. The only OEM head I found tricky that I had to do for this study was the Fusion - that one you have to be more careful using a little heat at a time, wait for the heat to take effect and then keep applying high pushing force with a good extractor.

Before I own a melted graphite/titanium head, would like to get advice/tips from someone that has reshafted this specific model (the MP001). -- Thanks!
