Staxxx Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I hope there are some forum members who can remember the time they had a Kamui Works driver head and were building it. I just bought a Kamui Works head KM-200 from a forum member. Unfortunately he did not inform me that the bore depth appears to be about 1/2 inch only. According to Wishon you need about 1 inch for the shaft to hold. I am pretty sure therefore that this is too shallow to shaft up and the shaft will crack if I do so and play it. There seems to be a plug of sorts in the hosel. The weight of the head is 205 gms. Do you think this is a weight that was added to the head? Or perhaps it is the remains of a previous shaft (the only thing the seller mentioned was that his shaft had a crack when he removed it but otherwise it was perfect original condition). I don't know if it is the remnants of a shaft as from the picture one can see it is not hollow (are tips solid?). I cannot determine the material. Since I am not familiar with this club perhaps someone can clarify if this is perhaps how it comes originally? If not, can I or should I drill this plug away? What depth should the bore/hosel be normally and how do i check that I have got it right? I will take a photograph (although it will be difficult) and show you what I mean. Thank you for your help.

Staxxx Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks Chris. Appreciate that. If any members can chime in, it would be most helpful. I was thinking of drilling a little of the plug out and fathoming what the material inside was by the filings. Anyway, a 1/2 inch bore depth sound pretty much impossible so (in my opinion) it has to be foreign to the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 That appears to be a weight tip in the hosel !!!! just carefully drill it out, weight tips are soft tungsten and will come out easily....or if u don't want to use a drill.....heat it up and scrape it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardboiled Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 That's a weight tip mate. Heat the hosel and gently tap it out. Use of thin nose pliers help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staxxx Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Sorted. Just some epoxy glue in the hosel. Thank you everyone for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
