What is parallel tip?
Parallel-tip shafts are the same, within the model type, for each iron but are trimmed to fit the length for each club. As a result, parallel-tip shafts are heavier in the longer irons and weigh less in the shorter irons.
Are all .370 shafts parallel?

What’s the difference between a taper tip and a parallel tip?
Taper tip shafts are made specifically for each club in a set. They are manufactured to “constant weights” which means that a three iron shaft weighs the same as a nine iron shaft. Tour pros think that this is desirable. On the side of parallel tips you have every golf equipment manufacturer and anyone who plays graphite.
Do True Temper taper tip shafts and parallel tipped shafts play similarly?
A: The answer is yes. True Temper taper tipped shafts and parallel tipped shafts do play similar to one another. The only difference between the two is tip diameter and weight. True Temper taper tip shafts are constant weight, meaning that each shaft weighs the same from 1 iron to wedges, and parallel are descending weight.
