How to tell tip size???

Recommended Posts

I have a set of Srixon I-201 with rifle 6.0 and TM 300 forged with rifle 5.5 irons that I want to swap the shafts in.

Everything I have been able to find says that both are taper tip :smile1: .

Have taken them to two pros who have run some sort of measuring device up and down the shaft. One says Srixon are taper and TM parallel and the other says they are both parallel :-D .

What do I do???

That's not always true, but it's a pretty safe rule of thumb.

Anyway, I know for sure the Taylor Mades are taper, and I believe the Srixon's are as well, but I'm not 100%.

A good way to know for sure is to get yourself a set of calipers. Take a long iron and put the calipers on the shaft just above the ferrule. Run the calipers up the shaft. If it stays at .370" for a few inches, they're parallel. If it increases in diameter immediately, it's taper.
