I found a 3 wood that I want in my driver. It also looks like it was tipped 1/2 inch. What will happen if I extend it one full inch? What flight characteristics will happen? Will it be a regular stiff shaft as it is now ? Help please! It is a Diamana Red M+ 50 gram stiff shaft
The Red M+50 Diamana shaft has a tip section that allows for 1″ max trim. Since your shaft has been trimmed 1/2 inch for the 3 wood; It would
play slightly stiffer with the shaft extended for driver. It has a torque rating of 5.6* with a weight of 51 grams. It is common practice to tip trim stiff shafts to control ball flight, You could also increase swing weight in the hosel to help out with feel of the club
What shaft are currently playing in your Driver? If it is similar in weight to the Diamana, it probably would be acceptable.
Good Luck TBrandt
will play slightly stiffer in the tip and ball flight will be a bit lower, but not much. shaft was designed to be higher launching to begin with.
you may need to extend it a bit more that an inch (not over 2″) to get it to your playing length. A 3W plays around 43.25″ and some folks feel a normal driver length is 45.5″. Really depends on what your ideal length is.
