I might differ with a few. If the head is aligned with the grip it is
almost for sure ferrule creep. I would guess that the ratio of ferrule
creep to loose head, based on my experience would be ?? 20:1 ?? Maybe more.

Tom, I am not what you would call a club fitter or repairman but I do some
grip replacements mostly family and close friends. I have seen the
separation you are talking about and agree with the other folks, this is
more than likely a break down in the epoxy, thus a loose head. The first
set of clubs I ever owned taught me this lesson. About three months after
the purchase the space between the 4I ferrule and the head began to
increase. I thought it was the ferrule loosen until the head separated
one day at the range. A good cleaning and reassemble and it has worked
fine. A couple of other irons had to be redone also.

I had a set of irons in to regip and there was some small but noticeable
spaces between a couple of the ferrules and hosels. Is there something
that can be put in there to fill that space up?
