I'm interested if anyone has any useful tips for reshafting Ping irons which don't have ferrules (i15 and earlier, g30 and earlier). I've done it in the past but there have been several challenges:
1) The first is to get the shaft properly centred because even when the shaft is fully inserted into the hosel there is a fair amount of wiggle room at the top of the hosel. I don't like using shafting beads and have tried placing a very thin band of masking tape (2-3mm wide) around the shaft just below where the shaft exits the hosel. That seems to work, but just wondering what others are doing.
2) The second is how to get the right amount of epoxy to get that nice looking Ping factory finish. I always seem to apply a bit too much and then its a challenge to wipe away the right amount to get a nice clean look.
Any advice or tips are appreciated. One final question. I assume that once I reshaft the irons myself Ping probably won't do any more lie adjustments for me - am I correct?
