please explain the details in regard to the sand filled fry-daddy. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 2:30 PM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: TM 300 Pin
> The 'pin' is TMs tip weight - they do not use weights with a hole in them. They seem to have a high occurrance of breakage which has resulted from insufficient shaft insertion, probably directly a result of using a weight without a hole in it to allow air out of the hosel. To remove the pin and broken shaft, I might try a micro torch in the hosel to try to breakdown the glue in there and a needle nose plier or vice grip if possible to get the weight/shaft out. Or, you could use the sand-filled fry daddy to heat up the entire head enough to break the glue down without hurting the finish, then use pliers, etc. to get the weight/shaft out. These weights are not typical lead or brass plugs, they're a harder metal which could make drilling out the hosel interesting, but that probably the last resort..... > > Good Luck, > Pat Kelley > > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Date: 2002/08/21 Wed PM 03:11:51 EDT > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: ShopTalk: TM 300 Pin > > > > A guy called me about reshafting a TaylorMade 300 series driver and > > he told me the head/hosel had a pin that the shaft was inserted in. > > His shaft snapped at the hosel as he leaned down to tee up a ball. > > He wants to remove the material in the hosel so he can tip the shaft > > and reshaft it with the same shaft.
