Rtracymog Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Hey Spies! My brother lost his 9 iron and doing a rebuild for him. It’s the original Cobra Forged Tec with the orange on the badge. I looks at the GolfWorks chart and it said “universal tip size.” I’ve rebuilt a few irons and wedges and haven’t run across this yet. So am I better off getting a .355 and putting a shim on it or getting a .370 and just going from there? Any special advice or tips would be appreciated!

GolfSpy_APH Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I would imagine it's .355 If you give me till tomorrow morning I can get it for you 100% I have a 4 iron that's been doing nothing the last few years and can pull it and measure.

cnosil Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Per the golfworks chart it is a dual bore hosel that will fit both a .355 and a .370 shaft. Looks like need to use a collared ferule.

GolfSpy_BNG Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The dual hosel is exactly as it sounds. It will accept either shaft but the .355t will seat ever so slightly farther in. The collared ferrule may or may not be needed as that has nothing to do with the universal hosel from my experience. buckpillar, Rtracymog and cnosil 3 Quote What is in my Ghost MGS anyday Maverick or Jones MyGolfSpy bag Driver: PXG Black Ops 8* or Callaway Smoke AI TD Max 8.5* with an Aretera Alpha One Grey 65/4 shaft @ 45” Fairway: F85 3 wood with a XPhplexx Agera X @ 42.5” F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" Driving Iron: Rapture 2-Iron Irons: T150 4-GW with Modus 105R Wedges: SM10 56M shaft TBD SMS 50* T grind with Steelfiber i110s Glide 4.0 46* zz wedge shaft Glide 4.0 E grind 54* zz wedge Putter: 2024 Phantom 5.5 @ 34” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGolf would probably know that answer off the top of his head, I thinking it will take either size tip into the hosel.

I’m sure he would! I watch a lot of his videos and I watched him have to almost round the tip of a shaft to make it fit. Just wanted to be sure before I bought/got one either way. 8 hours ago, GolfSpy_APH said: I would imagine it's .355 If you give me till tomorrow morning I can get it for you 100% I have a 4 iron that's been doing nothing the last few years and can pull it and measure.

jaskanski Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) I'm guessing by 'universal' they probably mean unitized - in which case it's .370" by default. However as others have mentioned it could be either, but the .355" option may require a bit of extra shafting beads or a shim for a snug fit. EDIT: having asked around, they are indeed a universal bore accepting either parallel or taper tip. Nobody has encountered any issues with the taper shaft insertion, or parallel for that matter - but it may be worth checking bore depth if you want to get BBTG spot on for precise flex if you're tip trimming your parallel - or indeed selecting your favoured taper shaft for the respective iron #. Happy club building everyone. Edited January 14 by jaskanski TJ Hall and Rtracymog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
