Re: ShopTalk: Notes on Srixon Forged Irons

[Steve \"Cub\" Culbreth]

Jay,   No es problema.  Threaded is a good thing.  Instead of being smooth on the inside of the hosel, these heads have groves cut similar to bolt threads.  It helps the epoxy take hold.  The pins I was referring to are swingweight pins.  Some were in the shaft tips, as they should be, but others were reversed at the bottom of the hosel.  Think of how a tip pin is shaped.  The OD of the body is the same or less than the ID of the shaft, and the head is the same as the OD of the shaft.  When you turn it around with the body facing down in the hosel, press it in and epoxy it with the head looking up, it is a pain in the arse to get out.   Hope this helps.   Cub   ----- Original Message ----- From: comgolf To: ShopTalk@mail.msen.com Sent: Monday, December 27, 2004 2:36 AM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Notes on Srixon Forged Irons Thanks Steve for the tip !! Since i'm new (it seem), could you explain what you mean by threaded? I'm punch'd out pins from an old set of Tommy Armour blades but what do you mean by the pins being expoxied upside down?? I'd like to continue to learn something :-)    Jay ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve "Cub" Culbreth To: ShopTalk@mail.msen.com Sent: Sunday, December 26, 2004 11:51 PM Subject: ShopTalk: Notes on Srixon Forged Irons Jents,   Just thought I'd pass on the trials of working on Srixon 302 Forged Irons:  The hosels are tapered and threaded, brass tip pins were in some shafts, some brass tip pins were epoxied upside down in the bottom of the hosel and were a bear to get out.  Not much material in the way of specs available from Srixon.  Nice looking set of irons but the first real pain in the ass I've had in a long time.   Mele Kalikimaka,   Cub
