What pin in the hosel? What the hell's he talking about? There's a small tip
weight/plug but I've never seen a "pin" in the hosel of a TM 300.

Lighten up TFlan!  The guy is looking at the end of the weight "pin" Taylor Made puts in the shaft tip as a weight and to plug the hole in the shaft so they can put epoxy in the hosel and jam the plugged shaft into the hosel and not have the epoxy fill the tip of the shaft. It's like looking at the point of a nail and seeing a "pointy thing".

If the shaft is broken flush with the top of the hosel and there is nothing to grab, drill many small holes in the area around the "pin" then heat the hosel or hit the "pin" with the flame from a pencil tip torch, grab the "pin" with needle nose pliers and yank it out. Save the "pin" with the ferrule (if you can), clean up the "pin" which now looks like a nail and reinstall the shaft with the "nail" in the tip. Check the shaft tip for damage (cut it away) clean (scrape or sand) off the paint, wire brush the hosel, wipe out with acetone, wipe tip with acetone, apply epoxy, twist in shaft, align, wipe off excess epoxy, set head on floor, shaft leaning against the wall, wait for the epoxy to cure, polish ferrule with acetone (won't need turning is you are using old ferrule), enjoy your driver with a shorter, stiffer shaft and don't lean on your club when stooping for a ball!  See you didn't read the adoption papers that came with your club!

To anyone that has no sympathy for a "Newbie", I say "I'm sorry your parents touched you that way".
