    Driver shaft trimming

    Were you just aligning up with the old shaft for the measurement? Normal practice would be fit the adapter, put it in to the head, measure then butt trim. With a new shaft this would mean 2-2.5 inches being cut off the butt end depending on the head.

    Random Irritations

    I had to smile at this - assuming a double duvet they measure 200 x 200 cms I was trying to sell a BNIB incorrectly delivered duvet one person decided not to buy it because she had measured her very old duvet in imperial and the size was not the same.

    Golf Random Irritations

    I reckon there will be no more golf for me this year I last played on the 25th November, since when the course has either been closed or there has been a buggy ban on the days I usually play. It does not look like the buggy ban will end this side of Christmas either and I am going away after it.

    Driver shaft trimming

    Many years of club building for me to base my comments on. It has been many years since I saw a driver shaft that was tip trimmed for a driver, probably because manufacturing techniques have improved the state of the tip on graphite shafts.

    Driver shaft trimming

    It should not affect the flex if you butt trim. The majority of driver shafts do not have the tip trimmed unless you want to use it in a fairway club. Flex is largely about the distance from the hosel to the kick point. Without doing the maths and or using a swing weight scale I cannot see...

    Random Irritations

    Surely that should not take too long. Targetting to retire at the end of January 2026 is the answer to every question.

    Not as tough as an African, although not as much ear meat to go around.
