I agree with Don J ream the hosels. If I am not mistaken, most Ping irons are 17-4 stainless. I have reamed 3 sets of Ping i20 irons for my son, a friend and my own set - not a problem. Sure easier than trying to slit shaft tips.

It will work but I would do only in the case of an emergency. Customer realizing it may come apart. If you really have only one choice of shafts I would bore out the heads to .370. I don't think Pings Taper is that much different than the standard.

Didn't we have a conversation years ago here about how to slit the tips of .370 steel shafts and force them into tapered hosels? If yes, will it work on a Ping Eye2? I don't know the particulars but Ping's taper is a bit different than most. Any enlightenment welcome! -Don M -- Shoptalk ** Sponsored by the new Aldila Voodoo.
