Forged Irons
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.

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 :-)

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,
