But is it ok to put the French cut into a blind bore head without sharing the tip - I think that's what I understood, I think it was David, as saying?
Cosmetics I'm not that worried about - if I looked too good, it wouldn't match the turd on the other end of the shaft.

And you know the hosel diameter; .335". And you know the hosel depth on the Titleist is about 3 1/2" plus sanding for the ferrule, and that the tip is angled to match the sole angle. And we know you want it to play softer than "S", whatever that is. Since the tip is already stripped and angled, your choices are few. It's easy to see that the deep borethrough in the head will effectively make the shaft stiffer. You could make it a "blind bore" easily by installing the shaft only 1 1/2" into the head and filling the bottom of the hosel with an old shaft tip, effectively softening the flex.That of course will cause a cosmetic problem - an unpainted area above the hosel that no ferrule will cover. The same is true if you install the shaft into a blind bore head. So, if the club belongs to you and not a customer, you can visit your local auto parts supply store, or hardware store, with shaft in hand, and search through the spray paint cans until you find on that matches the color and finish of the shaft. Paint the unpainted tip by lightly spraying, a little at a time. Try to blend the colors. They most certainly won't match exactly but with care it will be close enough. I've done this many times, albeit with black colored shafts, but I've had some success with yellow and gray as well. if you don't want to go to the trouble, dump the shaft. I'd do it just to see if I could make it work, but then, that's me. TFlan' BTW: "French Cut" is an angled cut you find in vegetables, most commonly green beans. --- Brian Parkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My buddy ordered a replacement shaft for a Titleist > 905T .
