Oh well, I've done several - a couple dozen or more, by slitting the shaft tips and never - never, not one time, did I have a failure. All the maybes, mights, could be's may happen. If you do it right, it won't. Slit it, plug it, epoxy it and don't worry about it. Now if its a full set, then sure, ream them out to .370. Or send the club to Ping and let them do the job. For me? I'll slit the tip and do the job fast.
