Re: ShopTalk: Taper Tip or Parallel?

[tflan]

Beg to disagree. Callaway's are a strange breed. The very bottom of the 
hosel at the sole is a little smaller diameter than the rest of the hosel 
bore. Notice that all the Callaway tips are slit . . . three crossways cuts 
. . . across the bottom of the tip. The tips are shoved into the hosel and a 
plastic plug is hammered in, expanding the slits against the hosel wall. 
Sort of a built-in shim. The process can be matched by slitting a tip with a 
dremel tool, or the bottom of the hosel can be bored out and a standard 
.370" tip shaft can be inserted.

In either case, the shafts are not taper tip.

The Callaways are taper tip.
I also have the same question for the Ping I/3 irons....... as I haven't
re-shafted any of these till now.

I haven't worked with the Callaway X 16 irons and wanted to verify that
these are taper tip.
