Tyler86 418 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I have a question and cant find an answer anywhere on the web. The Steelfiber tip trim chart says “tip trim should not exceed hosel depth”. Im trimming i95 .370 parallels. The reason im confused by this is that the majority of hosels depths out there are shorted than 1-1/2”, which makes the majortiy of this chart pointless. Am i missing something? Quote Mavrik Max Driver M2 5W 818 hybrids Steelhead XR Irons ZipCore wedges SeeMore PR M7X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interpret that to mean you can't tip trim it so short that the point past the parallel tip section starts to go into the hosel. It your hosel depth is 1 1/2" you need to have at least 1 1/2" parallel tip remaining on the shaft. 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 5-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: T20 54-8 588 58-12 Putter: Auditions ongoing Backups: TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, mFGP2, Directed Force 2.1 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler86 418 Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Makes sense. Now its out there on the web for everyone else who gets confused. Sorry if this was a stupid question.

Not a stupid question; better to ask and make sure. You cut off the part of the chart that lists the parallel tip length for each shaft. Looking at the SteelFiber i70 shafts, they have a parallel tip section of 5.5" and if you hosel depth is 1.5" then 5.5 - 1.5 = 4". So the most you can trim is 4" I think you should also consider the ferrule as well.
