No law says you can’t choke up an inch or so. Use that extra for a counter balance. Brooke Henderson has a 46” shaft, but she chokes up about 3”.

Hey I know this is off subject. My Callaway driver is $5 inches 10.5 loft. Im76 years old My drives are around 210 yards and almost in the fairway club head speed is 86 mph. My question is about 3 woods when i have tried to use one it goes the same distance as my 5 wood. The 5 wood goes 170 to 180 yards. Maybe my club head speed isnt fast enough to get a 3 wood up in the air. Any thoughts ?

Ok, my drivers, got 3 of them is 47 inch long, I have lenghten them myself, from ground to butt end it is! Why do so say you? Ansver is I have a very short backswing, 3/4 of normal, therefore I can contol length and hit balls further than most of my friends, longer shaft more speed i get!

Great info, thank you! I had an old EI-70 shaft with .350 tip in reg flex (from an old TM 3 wood) lying around doing nothing. I also had my old R7 driver at 45 or so inches long not being used. Love that driver so I decided to experiment and marry the two and since the R7 has removable weights on the head. Swapped into the R7 the EI-70 and it came out to 43.5" long. I then added extra weight to the head via those removable weights the R7 has (I had heavier ones lying around also). I do have a golf scale so that certainly helped. Now, the driver has excellent heft to it at 43.5" long... not too light and not a sledgehammer either... just perfect. I have never driven the ball so well.

Right, back when I came up playing golf, the standard driver was 43" and I could smash them with good consistency, even hit some fairway shots with that club. It was one with 9.5 loft-(TM Pittsburg Persimmon on a Ti shaft!). These monster sticks of current years I'm just now trying to get a handle on. A shorter handle may indeed be in order.

@Jus4kiks
@Jus4kiks 2 жыл бұрын
Supposedly if you cut down your driver an inch, it would take 12 grams added to the head to get the swing weight back to what it was. But since it is a 3w shaft it maybe different. You could search online for the weight of a 3w head and add enough back to the driver head to match. Lead take on Ebay/Amazon, then keep adding until you feel you like it. That is the best way imo, then you play the swing weight you prefer. Happy tinkering!

I know this sounds abstract but it's true (for me) that I can ' control ' a longer shaft (45.75") better than say - 45" or 44" shaft of equal SW - if hitting A to B straight down the middle. But, when 'working' a long shaft driver (rt to lf, lf to rt, high launch or low runner) FORGET IT ! So, that comes down to what you think ' control ' means🤣

At 5' 7" I cannot possibly keep proper control of a driver longer than 41 inches. No point on Earth hitting 240 yards carry with zero roll due to landing 50 feet wide of centre-fairway (also known as the thick rough). Just not enough content out there to expose the lie of the club & shaft companies.

@@LanceCampeau Lance, I should have mentioned that my shaft is a higher-end ($200+), aftermarket 3-wood shaft. When cutting down your stock driver shaft it will improve accuracy because you'll be hitting the center of the face more often, but the flex points/bend profile will be compromised. By going to a quality 3-wood shaft, you'll have just as much control and more "pop" besides... Have a great season!⛳🏌‍♂

uniformity or consistency throughout the set is the diff...which could be useless depending on how you like each single iron. Personally, I like lightweight wedges (that don't exist) and with light swingweights D0 and I have to back weight them still after grinding them down...that goes against the cookie cutter grain that says Wedges have to be heavy BS....same with putters. Who the hell needs a 400 gram putter......
@hankhopkins2401

The difference is that swing weight is a static measurement of how heavy a club is, whereas MOI is a dynamic measurement of how heavy the club is to swing. MOI-matched clubs each take the same amount of effort to swing; that is to say, for example, it takes the same effort to swing the 5-iron and the 9-iron. Swing weight matched clubs take different efforts to swing. Essentially, the longer the club is with swing weight matching, the more effort it will take to swing. MOI-matching is especially useful for the golfer whose clubs are not MOI-matched, and who have a favorite club or two. Something about the effort it takes to swing the favorite club(s) produces optimal rhythm, timing, and consistency for that golfer. Therefore, all else being equal, adjusting other clubs to this MOI (effort to swing) should produce more consistency between clubs and swings.

So let’s say I bought a SIM off the shelf. I can’t go to a shop and have them shorten or tip the shaft at all? How would the manufacturer do it any different? Not understanding what your solution is if you bought it off the shelf and it’s too long, which is going to be most case scenario

The manufacturer won't do it any different. All they want to do is sell golf equipment to make money. That's why it is so important to get custom fitted for your driver and your driver custom built to your specifications.
