RE: ShopTalk: Callaway ferrules

[Hayes, Jeff]

Royce - Most of the suppliers use a rubber o-ring as a Cally ferrule replacement but I’ve found those to get weathered and cracked over a relatively short period of time.� At one time, Golfworks carried a hard plastic o-ring ferrule that was sized for either woods or irons (not stretchable like the rubber ones).� They were nice and not as susceptible to aging.� However, last time I ordered some from GW, they showed up as the same rubber ones that everyone else seems to carry.�   I’m partial to Arnie’s trick where you heat up the ferrule very slightly and cut around the base – then slide it up and out of the way before pulling the head.� It is really pretty simple and takes virtually no time once you get a little practice.�   Later, Jeff   -----Original Message----- From: Royce Engler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 1:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ShopTalk: Callaway ferrules   Anybody know of a source for a ferrule that looks like Callaway's?  I've got a buddy in Holland who is needs to reshaft some X-14's.  He hasn't been pleased with the o-ring technique, and would like to get something that is a better match.  I thought I remembered seeing someone at the last PCS Expo who was selling them, but I CRS...   Tried all the usual suspects...no luck so far.  I've used the o-rings lots of times, but he'd like something made out of "real ferrule material"....   Thanks!
