I've never done it but want to and wonder if I should even try? My cf16's have a bore of .370 and I don't know if or how I could possibly use a shaft with .350 diameter. I also see terms like tapered tip that I don't understand.

Never mind. I just saw the Sticky above about this.

Great video from Danny Le at UST on THP TV on how to reshaft your clubs. While it does not answer your specific question, it is a great guide for others looking at the topic.

To make a .355 tip shaft fit into a .370 hosel, best to use a shim to get a tight fit. As for the tapered vs. parallel tip part, this article explains it:

From what I have read the cf16 has a .350 in the bottom of the head but the rest is .370. Callaway uses different ferrules to center the shaft in the head is the way I understand it. Is this correct? Everything I find says the head requires a .370 shaft but if it's .350 in the bottom that's not going to work.
