Hosels weren't drilled out either. I vividly recall one head that a customer wanted to be "jumbo". 2 1/4" deep face. The head/shaft combo weighed something in the "F9" swingweight range. I pulled the sole plate and drilled a "honeycomb" into the head to get it somewhere in the D range. That was close to the first "hollow head" driver made of wood. I never learned if the guy could hit it though.
