Here is what I have found.

Quote:

Bore thru shaft design provides stability and the internal weighting bias to help square the face.
Bore-Thru Design: Positions the tip of the shaft lower and closer to the hitting area for better feel and greater stability at impact.

I imagine that's going to quite a shock to those who were using bore-thru's long before Callaway Golf existed. I've got a set of 1965 Wilson Staff irons, so I can tell you for a fact that Callaway had nothing to do with inventing the design.
Callaway came up with the S2H2 design (short, straight, hollow hosel), so they could use more perimeter weighting in the clubhead instead of having the weight in the hosel.
