Re: ShopTalk: Taper Tip ? Muir wood/Release grips

[Jeremy Ingle]

Thanks John:No I am not setting up a high volume shop for Callaway reshafts!! My question about a small hacksaw was put  partly 'cos my dremel is broken at the moment but also  I wondered if there was anything " magic" about using a dremel as opposed to cutting simple slots.
While I'm on line I will take this opportunity to say I have now had time to play with the Muirwood
I got for Christmas ; I love it-- I can use it  off the tee on 170-200yd par 3s.--  off the fairway and out off the rough and fairway bunkers . It is almost impossible to Slice with it due partly I suspect to the Release grip.
I am going to try release grips on a driver and  3 wood to see if ithey will help produce the controlled draw I have been searching for ever since I took up playing golf again 7 years ago.
 Any one got experience with Release grips?

I assume you're not setting up a high volume shop to handle Callaway reshafts. I did a set using TFlan's instructions and parallel tip graphite irons as Tflan mentioned and used a small hacksaw to cut the slits. It worked great. Takes some time to do it with the hacksaw but you don't have to worry about removing as many fingers in the process as with a dremel.

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.

Beg to disagree. Callaway's are a strange breed. The very bottom of the
hosel at the sole is a little smaller diameter than the rest of the hosel
bore. 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.
