GOLF SHAFTS
Question
I HAVE AN OLD SET OF MACGREGOR BLADES REG.075. THE CLUBS HAVE OLD TOUR FLEX ALUMINUM SHAFTS. THE SHAFTS ARE LARGER IN DIAMETER AT THE CLUB HEAD THAN STEEL. CAN I REPLACE THE ALUMINUM SHAFTS WITH STEEL? I ASK BECAUSE I'M TOLD THEY CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITH STEEL. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP.
Answer
Steve,
It is quite possible the irons you describe have a flared tip. The flared tip is made to fit over an extention from the hosel giving the appearance of a mated joint. where the shaft and club head meet.
Today, the only flared tip shafts are for putters.
If the shaft is not a flare tip and just larger in diameter than a typical steel shaft you can shim the steel shaft to fit.
Thanks
Jim
