.335 in a .35.

[Esox]

So it appears this demo TEE XCG driver I bought for my daughter takes a .35 tip shaft. It seems the relatively affordable high launch shafts I've been looking at have .335 tips. What's the solution? An adapter? I see GolfWorks has a bunch of adapters that are specific to certain OEMs, but I don't see one for TEE.

Can it be accomplished by using a general adapter like this?

I hope there's a simple solution to this, because it seems .335 shafts are available in greater abundance, unless I'm missing something. I can contact Tour Edge tomorrow I suppose, but they closed at 5:00 and this is bugging the crap out of me. I just ordered myself a closeout XCG-V that will present the same problem.

Yeah, there are shims out there to adapt the shaft to a .350.

I've had a driver shaft shimmed and it worked just fine.

Yeah you would think that they would have a universal adapter but I have never run into this problem so its hard to say for sure.

When you say shimmed, was the "shim" similar to that adapter in my link?

I have used these with great success (meaning the shaft stayed in, NOT that I played better) Good luck

I'm not sure as it's covered by tge ferrule now and I didn't see it installed. I bet Jman could answer that for you

Tapatalk keeps me sane.

+2. I have used this shim several times for myself and others and have never had a issue. Trimmed with a ferrule, you never know it is there.

Thanks guys, that's a relief.

These are what I just used to put together my cheapo 350 head and 335 shaft , haven't hit a ball with it yet but the head has stayed on when I take full swings in my living room. Now that I think of it probably not the smartest place to test such things, don't tell my wife.
