sorry,,,, from graphite 0.335 drill/expand the hosel to steel 0.370 is possible. ray

Hi Spoon, I am Ray from Panama. Recently, my wife bought a set of MG801 for my birthday. She heard me talked about Beres 801 so she went ahead and bought a brand new set (4~PW with 2 101 L wedges) with NP pro 950GH R-Flex. They are so beautiful..... but what I wanted was a graphite shaft with b54 stiff flex because now I have a problem of golf/tennis elbow!!! so I contacted the shop who my wife bought the set from, and they told me (after contacting Honma), and said not the weight of the head is different btw graphite & steel shaft, but the hosel size are different? (direct quote: both have different hosel size for their own design propose. So they couldn't fit in at all) I also contacted my friend in Los Angeles who is a fitter, he said if the hosel is smaller, he can make it bigger to fit in (mostly likely from steel shaft 0.370 to graphite 0.335)? But from steel to graphite maybe a challenge. Just want to share this info with you, thanks. Ray quote name='Spoon' date='Jul 12 2007, 09:03 AM' post='137554'] guys i have finally decided to start using my mg801 irons. they come with the the armrq b54 r shafts 1 star d2 sw. quite surprised how easy they are to hit inspite of the thinner topline and profile. anyway these shafts are approx 54g but the overall impression is that the club is heavy. much heavier than my katana i830 irons shod with rifle 90s c11 sw. my question is how do they manage the sw while keeping the weight of the overall shafts down? i am considering changing the shafts to the ns pro 1150s and wanted to know how this would affect the overall balance of the club? reason why i ask is some guy in our local golf shop mentioned that beres has two options one with the armrq and one with the nspros. the heads that come with the armrq b54s have heavier heads while the heads that come with the nspros are lighter and that changing the shafts would mess up the balance. he made sense but i do not beleive in his explanation. can you guys fill me in? thanks in advance

pls kindly tell me more about your test restuls!! thanks. :tsg_smilie_cool: :tsg_smilie_cool: :tsg_smilie_cool: :tsg_smiley_yes: :tsg_smiley_yes: :tsg_smiley_yes: :tsg_smiley_yes:
