Brass plug on tip

[Toro3150]

So I changed the shaft in my Mack Daady 3 wedge today. I noticed the factory shaft had a brass plug in the tip end. Maybe I've never paid attention to this before, but I'm curious what it's for.

It's to dial in the swing weight. Cheaper to add a tip weight than pay for tighter tolerances on the head manufacturing

When changing shafts in wedges, I noticed some have them, and some don't.

Like RP said it is for adjusting Swing Weight. You have different sized weights and different materials. Manufacturers tolerances are across the board so that is one of the "tools" used to tune weight in. Us old timers call it slugged in the hosel. I can tell in one swing if a iron has a tip weight. For me I cannot stand them goes back to my younger days when I had a hooking problem. In fact I need to redo my MP 68s because they are heavy slugged and I have so much lead tape in the toe to counterbalance them that I actually have them too heavy in the long run. If I take the lead tape off the toe I can hook the snot out of them even with the S-300 shafts which for my age and SS are a little stiff for me. Most mainstream golfers tend to slice the ball so a lot of manufacturers put weight in the hosel to counteract that slice

Thanks, I had no idea. I'm sure I just never paid attention to it before.
