Yes, using a parallel tip shaft in a taper tip hosel can affect the performance of the club. The fit may be loose, leading to instability and inconsistent performance due to improper seating. Additionally, it could alter the club's flex and kick point, impacting feel and trajectory. It's generally recommended to use shafts that match the hosel type for optimal performance.
Hosel is the the socket (or neck) in the head of a golf club into which the shaft is inserted.
Yes, the shaft of a golf iron should be straight into the hosel for optimal performance. A straight alignment ensures proper energy transfer during the swing and helps maintain consistent ball contact. Any misalignment can lead to undesirable shot patterns and affect accuracy. Proper fitting and installation of the shaft are crucial for achieving the best results.
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.

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 serial number on Cleveland irons is typically located on the hosel, which is the part of the club that connects the clubhead to the shaft. It may be engraved or stamped on the underside of the hosel, making it less visible when the club is in a normal playing position. If you are having difficulty locating it, checking both the hosel and the sole of the club can be helpful, as some models may have the serial number in these areas.
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.
