When I ordered a TE+ and TS1 IM heads to try out I ordered Golfworks 74PI ferrules. The Golfworks website recommends these ferrules for these heads. When I try to dry fit these ferrules, head to a shaft there is a gap (about the thickness of a business card) that won’t close between the top of the hosel and ferrule. The package of ferrules says GW0153. Did I get sent the wrong ferrules?
The 74PI are a .370″ ferrule and the GW0153 (now CTIF is the new code) is a .355″ collard ferrule. So if the one you have has a collar on it, you got the wrong ferrule. Are you installing .370″ parallel tip shafts or .355″ taper tip shafts? The 74PI is a ferrule that works with a .370″ shaft. So again, if the ones you received have the collar on them, they are not right and you should call customer service and we can get you the right ferrules out immediately. I looked in our warehouse and it is possible we pulled the wrong ferrule.
Please contact our customer service and tell them you received the incorrect ferrules. Use my name if you would like, that I told you to contact them, and we can re-ship the 74PI ferrules to you. If you have any issues, let me know. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

To add to my previous reply…I thought collared ferrules were for a .355 to help center it in a universal hosel
They can are can be used for that in some cases. Also, some hosels are designed for a collard ferrule, where the ferrule almost snaps into place. We designed our original TS1 and TS2 irons to use our M0300 collared ferrule. The hosels have a slightly milled out area at the top that allows the collared ferrule to fit right into. Collars on ferules also can provide some more cushion between a graphite shaft and hosel edge. That being said, collared ferrules are really never required or absolutely necessary. Just an option.

I called Customer Service and they set me up with the 74PI ferrules. Kudos to them, if you would.
Thanks Brett. The GW doesn’t slide easy at all over a .370 shaft. Easy slips over a .355.
Trying to mate it up to a TE Forged 5 iron head without a shaft there is still a gap. Same thing with the TE1 IM head I’m wanting to shaft up with a .355 tonight.
I ordered the 74PI (or at least I wanted the 74PI when I ordered them) because the specs of the heads from the website says these are for the heads I recently purchased and it says so for the TE Forged (which I’ve been playing for 1 1/2 years but I shafted them with some other non collared ferrules I have.
