Re: What do I need to install new ferrules.

I didn't have the installer tool so I had to improvise. I drilled 2 holes into a piece of 1x4, one with a .370 and the other with a .335 bit, and I use that to install the ferrule. I get the ferrule started on the shaft. With the 1x4 on my bench, I set the shaft and ferrule on the wood at the appropriate hole, then I push down. The ferrule stays put while the shaft slides down about 3/4". I then use the clubhead to drive the ferrule down to its final spot. It's quick, easy, and worked so well I decided to stay with that and not buy the installer.
