^^^^ the 755 were highly regarded, and still command a good price for a 15yr old set.
GolfAvenue has a set that, after taxes and free shipping,will still amount to $300.
Good Irons never stop working. . The player OTOH.........

Lie angles are just as important as length and lie go hand in hand.
I'll be sure to check. Worst case your close by. I'm in Bowmanville

reaming the heads sounds like the correct way to go. A proper reaming bit
is required and available for purchase at GW.
Strongly, recommended that you do this with a drill press if possible.
before you go through this, do some measurements to make sure that the shafts are going to be long enough when fully seated. If they were tip trimmed it is quite possible they could come out shorter than "standard"

not that it shouldn't be disclosed, but without Removing the heads and using a set of calipers nobody would be able to even tell that the heads were reamed. After all you are taking out a very minimal amount of material from the bottom of the inside of the hosel ( which is already mainly .370 )
it is a very, very minor modification, removing 15/1000's of an inch of material from about 1/2 an inch of the interior.Last edited by Weirfan; Oct 25, 2019, 08:15 AM.

The shafts you have could very well be .370 diameter shafts or as you alluded to in your op, .355 Taper shafts with the taper tips removed. Although this would be an unusual/uncommon practice and probably only used if somebody wanted to use .355 taper shafts in a .370 parallel hosel head. ( the much better and safer way versus a shim)
Remember that taper shafts are just tapered and .355 in the distal 5/8 inch or so of the shaft and designed that way so they can ram them into taper hosels during mass assembly line production and they wont move and assembly can continue.
either way, if you have .370 shafts ir tapers with the tips removed , making them essentially .370, your only recourse for using them in heads with taper hosels is reaming the heads or buying new shafts.Last edited by Weirfan; Oct 24, 2019, 09:40 AM.

Bite the bullet and get the proper taper shafts for that model headr, which were one of Titelist better CB irons.
I will toss this out there to the op though....he could proceed with the reaming and soft step the shafts which would address the potential stiffness and length issue ....of course this means he would have one less shaft on the long iron end , but depending on what he has and if he doesn't need a 3 or 4 iron then this would be an option. Also he could buy 1 shaft additional shaft if he was one shaft short

I have a set of 755 Forged Titleist shaft tip is .355. The used shaft I bought which are from a set of titleist are a slightly larger tip (most likely were tipped to stiffen the shaft). They don’t have more then 1/2” penetration into the club head. Is that enough or will I need to bore the heads a bit?
looks like the shaft seller effed up, or got stiffed himself and got rid of shafts he couldn't use. (buyer beware)
