hi there...

i have a tapered shaft and i want to put the innovative or the GI zcarb on there. is it possible to shave the blade and stick it in?

thanks

Yeah it's possible. I did it many times. You need to be careful and take your time. Just shave the less you can.

It can work, but if you're getting an Inno, why not get a tapered Inno blade?

i used really tough sandpaper and sanded for about 25 minutes, just stop about every minute or so to see how far you have to go

Don't forget to seal whatever you expose with nail polish or something or it will start to fray or breakdown in those spots

i shaved down the hosel on an easton ultra-lite composite blade (the blue ones with the silver lines). i used a bench grinder with a fairly dull wheel on it. i took my time and it worked out pretty good. fits into a tapered shaft perfectly. didn't cover it with nail polish though. i didn't think it needed it after you spread glue on it.

my bad guys - I thought you were referring to a blade - not the insert. In the event that you do any mod work to a composite blade - make sure you seal it with something or over time it will breakdown.
