Graphite shaft lengthening

[Aje710]

Question from a long time gawker, seldom poster. I bought a Mitsubishi Diamana ZF shaft from a big box store that was clearancing out some fitting shafts. I was wanting to use it in my Rogue ST Max Driver. Got it home any realized I made the rookie mistake of not measuring first. 1 inch too short. The internal debate I am having is 1. Add a 1" extension and let it rip or 2. Return the shaft because number 1 is a stupid idea. Can I get some thoughts? Thanks in advance.

1" extension in a graphite shaft is perfectly acceptable

1 inch is about the max length you'd want to add to a graphite shaft. 

What is the playing length of the new shaft?

~ 44 inches. My current gamer plays ~ 45.

Might be worth a shot at 44 before you alter it in any way

That's a fair suggestion. Thank you.
