Every shaft that gets removed from a head is checked for the tip being filled with epoxy!  The easiest to inspect are those that come in broken off at the top of the hosel. Just look into the part stuck in the head and see the center is filled with epoxy. Drill the epoxy, insert a tool for removing broken screws, heat the hosel and pull out the shaft tip stub.    Every complaint of "noise in the shaft" is treated first by blowing off the grip, cutting off the tape over the butt of the shaft then turned butt down so that the epoxy "rod" or tip weight lead rod can fall out. Then the grip is blown back on or replaced. Cheap, fast, easy fix.   What's the big deal! Just don't fill graphite shaft tips with epoxy! The shafts will be more prone to break if you do.
