  1. Possible ?

    Hi I see that most of hybrids are .375 tip size but some of them are .335 tip size. Is it possible to put regular driver shafts into hybrids with .335 tips ? What would be the differences between driver/wood shafts and hybrid shafts ? Thanks

  3. Can anyone bend some irons this afternoon?

    I'm picking up a couple of sets of Hogan irons in Ottawa this afternoon and would like to have the lies bent to match my 1972 Hogan Apexes. Is there anyone who could do this for me? Of course I would be happy to part with some dough for the work :-)
