That's what I thought and was hoping. I just ordered a set of G425 on Saturday and was going to trade these in towards the new ones so I was hoping it wasn't going to be an extensive repair. I thought it was odd the ferrule stayed in place when it let loose on the course yesterday.It looks like just an epoxy failure. There doesn't seem to be anything down in the hosel and the tip of the shaft looks to be undamaged. You should be able to abrade the tip just a bit to clean it up and re-epoxy the shaft.
Looks like you dodged a bullet there.
I think that is what alarmed me the most is I see very little epoxy residue on the shaft and in the hosel on this. it only looks like there might have been a small bit down at the tip. I'm surprised it lasted almost 2 years if that is the case.Just looks to need prepped and reinstalled very little epoxy at all from the photos which is surprising as the pings are .355 tapers and usually a snug fit alone plus the epoxy (if applied).
They tap the shafts in with pneumatics if you watch factory tours, they always claimed it could hold without epoxy but that doesn’t seem to be the case.I think that is what alarmed me the most is I see very little epoxy residue on the shaft and in the hosel on this. it only looks like there might have been a small bit down at the tip.

Interesting. I just searched a video on YT and they say they use a different process for graphite versus steel. I'm assuming they don't hammer in the graphite as hard as they do with steel shafts.They tap the shafts in with pneumatics if you watch factory tours, they always claimed it could hold without epoxy but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Valid thought but I'll be owning them for about 30 more days. I just took it back to the shop I bought them from and will be getting them back once my G425 arrive. As long as it holds until I give them back I'm good.If you’re trading them in just put some super glue in the hosel. Should hold enough to get a value assessment.
*Don’t really do that*
