Using a file is the easiest and safest way to shorten a collar on a ferrule.  I do it all the time.

The difference in insertion depth is about 3/16" tops between a .355 and a .370 shaft.  If you are going to use tip weights in the .355 then the difference is barely anything.

This was from an early post by Britt I am reposting: Basically the TS3.5 are a stronger lofted with a slightly wider sole and topline, making it more of players distance iron. The cavity progresses a...

If it's opened, I never go past 6 months.  Also, if either of the epoxies texture has changed it's no good.

I believe that, like the TS3, the TS4 will add 1" So if the shaft is 38" long, adding the head will make it play 39"

No No No

Thanks Britt, Thought they had a "Maltby Vibe". If they play anything like the TS3's, Maxfli will be very happy.

Just saw these on two seperate web pages.  Any info on time line, head weights, offset, etc. I saw a blurb about co-forged tungsten and ceramic ?  How off am I on the ceramic being used in the bottom...

My grandson who is 13 is starting to get more interested in golf.  I recently took him to a three hour golf clinic, just to see how much he enjoyed it.  Picked him up and he raved about how much he learned...

I'd check the KBS TGI 80 shafts or maybe the PGI 90 gram shaft hard stepped once.  I play the TGI 80 shafts and they are just a phenomenal shaft.

Thanks Britt!

I saw some listings for new stock FST Orange Stepless shafts.  Do you know anything about these ?  Label graphics tell me they are older, maybe the from the same  period when Rifle shafts were made...

TS-1, STi2, KE4Max, TS-3: Of those 4 irons, I have never been as consistent with a 5 iron as I am with the TS-3.

Haha, That explains the TS1-IM that was on the site a few days ago, but is now m.i.a.   Very sharp looking head!!!!  Wish I would have did a screen grab!

Thanks for all the answers, everyone. KE4 Max head should be here Tuesday. I'll get them setup to practice Wed and then put them in play Thursday.

After reading a few other posts here and on other forums, It looks like the KE4 Max has the best forgiveness when hitting towards the toe. With the loft differences from the TS1, I'll have to figure out...

I have a set of TS1 irons and really do like them but feel like I don't play enough to really get a consistent swing.  So, I am looking for a head that is a bit more forgiving on hits slightly out towards...

Since three different epoxies are having the same failure, I would rule out an epoxy issue. That leaves you with three possible issues: not enough epoxy used per shaft, poor shaft tip prep, poor hosel...

Thank you! Much appreciated.
