Maybe . . . maybe not. Reaming out the very small diameter at the bottom of the hosel is hardly a sea change. Reaming out a taper tip hosel to parallel is. I always - 100% of the time, told my customers what could, should, and should not be done as regards modifying a clubhead. I ain't arguing, just offering a suggestion. That's what we're all about here, isn't it?
