do you still dimple shafts before installation?
Nope. I rough up the shaft tip…wire brush the hosel…and trust the epoxy. Dimpling has, I believe, gone the way of the drift pin where club assembly is concerned. The only time the procedure has failed me was with a putter head and a painted shaft. I re-assembled, with greater diligence, and that was that.
Thank you for your response. I built 2 sets of irons 25 to 30 years ago and didn’t know if dimpling was still needed. That will save some time. Thanks again, Pierre.
