I really have no idea. I think there is a rule of thumb for how much 1" tipping will stiffen a shaft, but my guess is this is just not the right profile for my swing, but I will see what Oly has to say about it. I hit about 50 balls today between the TPOC/M5, Tensei/M5 and HZRDUS/EFSZ and only hit about 2 to 3 fades with any of those, no slices just fades. I absolutely could not stop hitting fades and slices with this shaft. When I slowed down and tried to swing smooth I hit a nice easy fade that seemed to be low spin, but I can't stay smooth 23andme says slow and smooth is not in my DNA.
Just to chime in here. Generally tip trimming will stiffen a shaft about 2-3 cycles per 1/2 tip trim. Thus, a 1" trim stiffens a shaft about 5 cycles which is about 1/3 of a full flex. Tip trimming also marginally stiffens the tip (2-3 mm per 1/2 inch) and lowers shaft torque (a tenth of a degree or so).
In this case, H8tobogie, I think you nailed it right on the head. The TPOC and OLYSS are very different animals performance wise even though the stiffness, both tip and butt, are very similar. The tooling used and overall construction differences (taper profile vs. large body parallel butt profile) make these react differently to certain loading conditions. The OLYSS is best suited for those with smoother transition and loading, while the TPOC being significantly stiffer in the hands will work well for aggressive transitions and loading/release. It is a very, very good point that you not only need to match a shaft to your swing speed/ball speed, but also to your overall swing 'DNA'.
