That sounds like it should be a bore through with those measurements but blind bore is most likely the correct one to use for tip trimming. If you want it more tip flexible, don't tip it at all or go to a softer flex and then tip.

Bernie,
This head is the SWB99 310cc and the hosel bore is 2". In the playing position, the top of the hosel is 2 1/2" from the ground. Is this head a blind bore?

- Pat,
- The one that I built for myself used an A-flex shaft, and I like a high A or low R, so I didn't worry about stiffening it up a bit. Worked fine. Can't remember, but like many of the big heads (if you are using a 400-450cc SWB), I think the hosel bore is about an inch and a half off the ground (I know the Integra S450 is that depth.), so be sure to check your club length dry assembled.

- Bernie or anyone else that has experience with these heads, I am getting ready to build a driver with this head and just realized that the hosel depth is 2" deep. Is this right? Was I suppose to receive a plug of some kind? Is it a good idea to install a trimmed piece of a .335" X 1/2" long to reduce the insertion depth so the shaft will play softer? TIA
