Decorative trim ring, directly on top of the hosel on many woods and irons.
One of the components of a compression fitting; the conical piece of metal or plastic that compresses onto the tube as it is forced into a tapered seat. Valco metal ferrules are unique in that they attach to and seal at the tube by cutting a shallow ring into it, instead of by actually swaging it. This is preferable since it introduces no flow restriction.
The fitting at the bottom of a stick to reduce wear and prevent slipping. Traditional British types are a brass cup with a steel tip, although they can be made from a variety of materials.
the decorative plastic device found at the end of the hosel; common. on irons, although some, notably Ping, do not contain a ferrule filament-wound graphite shaft: strands of pre-preg are wound intricately around a mandrel, like so many strings of spaghetti; the process is controlled by a computer and can be repeated endless times.

1. Reinforcing metal sleeve fitted over the end of tubing as part of a connector. 2. Short metal sleeve, which adds structural support, when secured around the spike used to fasten pieces of the gutter to a building by bracing the outer edge of the gutter a certain distance from the inner gutter wall. 3. A short tube or brushing for tightening a joint. 4. Strengthening band, of metal, which is attached at the juncture of the tool head and handle. When the tool is used, the band provides reinforcement through the stress concentrated at the juncture.
