High quality golf club shaft ferrules
For
irons, hybrids & woods
For shaft tip diameters
of .335" (8.5mm)
These ferrules closely match the
club-head hosel diameter of some of the top manufacturers.
Some may require turning down or buffed
down using cotton webbing and acetone.
The colour is high gloss black
All of the ferrules are countersunk at the base which protects the shaft and allows epoxy to form between the top of the hosel and the inside of the ferrule, adding strength to the bond.
All ferrules are pre-washed and (if required) can be buffed up with acetone and a cloth.

Determining the size
of the ferrule
The first measurement you need is the tip size of the club shaft, this will normally be .335" or .350" for woods & .355" or .370" for irons and hybrids.
The next 2 dimensions are;
The length or height of the ferrule (top to
bottom/thin end to thick end) and the
outside diameter of the widest part of the ferrule, where the ferrule butts up
to the hosel of the club head.
Length or height (length on my eBay listing)
choose the closet size to the ferrule it will be replacing, so the clubs match.
Outside diameter (Diam on my eBay listing) Ideally the same size as the hosel
diameter on the club head so no finishing is required, however if the exact
size is not available, choose the ferrule with a slightly wider diameter and
finish (turn down) with a strip of cotton webbing and acetone (nail polish
remover) until the ferrule and hosel joint is flush.
To get accurate measurements you will need a vernier caliper
So to recap,
measurements required to choose your ferrule are;
1. Golf shaft tip diameter
2. Overall length or height of ferrule (top to
bottom)
3. Golf club head hosel diameter
Turning down ferrules
Ideally use a long
belt bench sander with a cloth belt, used to "finish" ferrules
by offering the club to the belt and then rotating the club to turn down the
ferrule.
An alternative is to use a strip of cloth, about
10 inches by 1 to 2 inches, I use cotton webbing similar to the type
upholsterer’s use which has a sort of herringbone pattern on it. This can be
found cheap from any cloth shop or eBay.
Then place the
finished built club horizontally in a vice with the club head, ferrule and
about 3 inches of the shaft showing.
Next apply some acetone (closest to 100% you can
find) to the cotton webbing.
Hold the webbing at either end and drop your
hands either side of the ferrule and rub side to side on the ferrule. Turn 90
degrees and repeat.
The acetone melts the plastic ferrule quite
quick so try not to leave it lying on the ferrule and try not to pull down too
hard!
If you only have a slight ridge between the
hosel & ferrule I would concentrate on that area and when flat I would do a
quick rub over the whole ferrule.
When you've finished turning down, leave the
ferrule for a minute, then give it a quick wipe with a soft lint free cloth and
acetone this will make the ferrule shiny.
As you can imagine this does take some practice
to get right, but when you do, it will look very professional.
