mnfats95 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Has anyone compared the shafts to their current one? My current shaft was ordered from PING at 45 1/4" and the new shaft is at least 2 inches longer than that? I too was planning on having the shaft cut to match my current one, but I'm worried cutting that much off of the butt of the shaft could be an issue?

I too was planning on having the shaft cut to match my current one, but I'm worried cutting that much off of the butt of the shaft could be an issue? Most uncut driver shafts are 47" and should be butt cut to length. I cut mine down to play at 45" and have no issues. I also have driver shafts that I've cut to play anywhere from 43.5"-46". Swingweight is the only issue you get into, but that has nothing to do with the shaft itself. Follow @GolfspyBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot's of options, but I use a hack saw or metal cutting wheel with a dremel. Either way I wrap the shaft in masking tape and then cut through the tape and shaft.

revkev Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Okay I have a mini crises, I hope it's mini. I received the adapter that I ordered, it said for Rocket balls stage 2 and SLDR so I took it and the shaft to my club repair guy. He dutifully cut the shaft to the proper length and glued the adapter on. I'm home and it does not fit my SLDR. Please tell me this isassimple as ordering a new sleeve and having the current one replaced. I'm not a happy camper at this point because I had time to test Monday and won't have it again until the following Saturday, maybe. I'm also afraid I've done some more serious.

wbealsd Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It looks I'm finally ready to get started on some swinging this weekend. Found my wife passed out in the bathroom yesterday morning and it's been a scary couple of days! (She's MUCH better now, apparently it was food poisoning and dehydration...). I did take some test swings with the shaft at 46" and that's just not a good length for me, so I got my current driver shafts measured and got it cut to 45" to match the EXS in my driver.
