I am going to be installing graphite irons shafts for the first time and will be using collared ferrules (first time as well). I have a question about this process.

Install just like a normal ferrule; set ferrule depth on shaft first, then glue everything up and install shaft. If the collar is a tight fit inside the head you have the wrong ferrules or the collar needs to be sanded down to fit. It should slide easily inside the head without binding.
rynobucket
Thanks for the reply. I am guessing I bought the wrong ferrules as it is quite snug. I'll try sanding them down and installing as normal. If that does not work, I will try buying different ferrules.

If you have an old shaft you may want to chop off a piece of the tip and then chuck it up in a drill motor. Then install the ferrule part way on the shaft and use the motor to spin it. Some 100 grit sandpaper on the spinning ferrule should take down the collar quite effectively.

Reviving this, but what if the hosel is not setup to take collared ferrules?
Nessism
At the risk of sound obvious, but since Mizuno's don't have the collar recess in the hosel then you can't use collared ferrules. Collared ferrules are a relatively new development and millions of graphite shafted clubs were (and still are) built w/o collared ferrules so you have nothing to worry about.

I would chamfer the hosel bore to remove the sharp edge and to create an epoxy cushion between the shaft and hosel opening .
