Ralph, Cotton works fine, and adds very little additional weight to the head. Make sure you use real cotton balls, and not synthetic ones. Just determine the desired insertion depth,. and then stuff cotton into the head until you are at the desired depth. I've done this several times and it has worked just fine.

I have come to find out that the hosel depth is almost 3 inches. That concerns me because that if I install it all the away down it will play even stiffer and I don't want that if at all possible. I have been told that this can be resolved a couple of ways. One is cutting about an inch of shaft and sticking it down the head and the other is sticking cotton down the head. I am not sold on the idea of using cotton. But I am concerned about using a piece of shaft in that does it have to be placed in the head and not allow any epoxy to touch it? I would think if it is epoxyed in, that it would change the playability of the shaft if that piece was attached to the bottom of the head and my shaft. Many years ago when I first started, I had two heads to separate from the ferrule because I was told that I did not epoxy the shaft tip down to the head. I have been doing that since with no failures. I don't feel confortable not doing it this time. I would appreciate any advice you can offer!! Ralph
