One for the shaft Experts

Conflicting info available on t'interweb around tip size of the shaft used in the Callaway RAZR Hawk Tour driver. Specifically the Aldila RIP Tour shaft that was used.
While most sources state 0.350 as most Cally drivers seem to be, the odd dissident pops up with 0.335as "it's a tour version".
So can anyone shed any definitive light on this?

It's .350"
A lot of folks who think that "tour only shafts" come in .335" tip only - think again. Callaway did a similar trick with the Mitsubishi Rayon Fubuki which was indeed an aftermarket shaft with a .335" tip - but they also made an aftermarket .350" tip version as well.
However, the same is not entirely true for the Aldila RIP - even though it's a stock shaft option for the Cally, it's still not a true "real deal" shaft, but a modified "made for" version. As with most "made for" variants, it feels somewhat softer than it's "real deal" cousin.
The good news is that Razr Hawk Tour head can accept a shim ferrule to use any .335" tip shaft you want - including the tour spec Aldila RIP that some actually have.
