Can you use a small hacksaw to slit the tips?

Tflan is right, its the same for steel or graphite. I've done a number of sets and the dremel is the way to go. Any Pings I'm aware of are taper.

Notice that all the Callaway tips are slit . . . three crossways cuts . . . across the bottom of the tip. The tips are shoved into the hosel and a plastic plug is hammered in, expanding the slits against the hosel wall. Sort of a built-in shim. The process can be matched by slitting a tip with a dremel tool, or the bottom of the hosel can be bored out and a standard .370" tip shaft can be inserted. In either case, the shafts are not taper tip.
