By "install" I mean, epoxy the "plug" into the hosel just as you would any
shaft tip. Then install the shaft you're using on top of the "plug". You do
not add epoxy to the ends of the plug, you add it to the periphery . . .
around the circumference.
Consider it as though it's a really short shaft, if you will. All it is is a
barrier, a way to shorten the hosel depth. It will not in any way affect the
play of the club.

tflan,
I want to make sure I understand you correctly. When you say install, do
you mean to put epoxy both ends of the cut-off and then put my shaft in
thereby adding tip to the shaft? Or installing it a different method?
Thanks!

Don't insert the shaft all the way in. Installing a cut-off shaft tip at
the bottom of the hosel will not in any way alter the playability of the
head. This is a very common way to soften the flex of shafts in deep
blind bore and bore-through heads. I've done it often, mostly in Titleist
983's. In fact, I have a 983K now, into which I'm about to install a
Grafalloy 3.5 S flex at a depth of 1 1/2". This should give roughly a 1/2
flex softer performance. I'll install a shaft tip at the bottom of the
hosel.
