New to building clubs, I have ping clubs +.75 length, I want to replace my shafts, I understand there is no tip trimming on .355 and that I buy regular flex shafts per club. I need .75 longer clubs than ping standard. So do I put 6 iron shaft in 5i or 7i or do I just butt trim to length to maintain Regular flex.
Thanks

Generally we would simply put the correct shaft in for the clubhead and cut to final playing length from the butt end. Not knowing which Ping and specifically what he bottom of the bore to groundline would be on each club, I couldn’t say if the 3/4″ overlength would present the problem of having enough length on the shaft. If you do put the 6 iron shaft in the 7 iron to make sure you have the length, the shafts will play slightly softer since you are putting a heavier 7 iron head on the shaft meant for a #6 iron. Best to get the shafts and dry fit them and mark them to see if you are going to need alter which shaft goes into which head.

Recommendations? I can drill to .370 if that would be more flexible, I have a reamer.
