Hosel is the the socket (or neck) in the head of a golf club into which the shaft is inserted.
The socket is known as the hosel, it is where the head is connected to the shaft.
This is the width of the bottom of the shaft, where it enters the hosel.
The Hosel (one 's') is the socket or neck in the head of a golf club into which the shaft is inserted.

A replacement blade can be put into a tapered shaft as long as the blade has a tapered hosel. A standard hosel blade will not fit into a tapered shaft. The tapered shaft must also actually be a shaft and not a recently broken one-piece stick. Some players try to cut broken blades off of one-piece sticks and then think they can replace the blade in the remaining shaft. This can work in principle but only at the expense of the natural performance of the stick. It is generally not recommended.
Use an abrasive on shaft and inside hosel, clean with acetone or alcohol, let dry, use 2 part epoxy on shaft and in hosel, join the 2 together, wipe off excess glue, allow to cure 24 hours before using.
You could, but I wouldn't recommend it. You could use a belt sander to sand it down slightly, but not too much so you'd ruin it. You would honestly be better buying the proper shaft for the hosel.
The main ones are the face, which is what you hit the ball with. The crown which is the top of the head, where the allignment is and the hosel, which is where the head is connected to the shaft.
Purely cosmetic. When the part where the shaft meeting the hosel is exposed it can look rather ugly, and it can also catch on things when being put into your bag again.
Choose a single-stranded whipping that doesn't have hairy projections. Don't use whipping with waxy or other coatings. Starting above the hosel about a half inch or so, lay the end of the whipping along the length of the shaft, with the whipping end pointed TOWARDS the club head hosel. This is a little tricky, but next carefully wind the whipping around the shaft AND the whipping you have already laid against the shaft. The winding will give you a spiral and the spiral should have started at the grip end of the shaft. Wind the whipping around the shaft a few times, taking care to hold the windings tight. Next grab the end of the whipping that you had laid against the shaft and pull it tight. Slide the spiral together so no shaft is showing. Then continue the winding as far down the hosel as you want the whipping to be, but DO NOT continue to overlap the pulled tight end of the whipping. Leave it free to be trimmed later. next cut the whipping from its spool, leaving two or three feet to work with. You're almost done. Lay a short portion of the remaining whipping along the shaft, with the end pointed AWAY from the club head. Then continue winding the whipping around the hosel and the whipping you've just laid along the shaft. Be careful to keep a good hold on the loop that you've formed by winding over the loose end. It will try to tangle. Don't let it do that. When you're satisfied with the overall look of your work, pull both ends of the whipping tight, slide the spiral so that no hosel or shaft is showing and that you haven't made any overlaps. Give the whipping a last tug on both ends, carefully cut off the loose ends, and Presto! You're done! The windings of the whipping over the ends should hold the whole assembly tight, but you can use some lacquer or super glue if you want. Bobby
Yes, use a lower shaft
