I am building a 44.5" shaft for my Triton. The shaft is 46" uncut and would play at 47" once installed uncut. The manufacturer's tip trimming instructions say not to cut the tip when installing in a driver. I will be cutting 2.5" from the butt end if I do not tip it. I have heard that a shaft plays a little softer flex wise when it is butt cut.
I am wondering if I should tip it a half inch or so to compensate for making the driver play at 44.5 inch. The shaft is a Graffaloy Prolaunch red which has a stiff tip if that makes a difference. Luckily the Triton has plenty of adjustability to get the swing weight back around D-2 after shortening it an inch from standard length.
Does the manufacturers tip trimming instructions take into account that many people play them shorter than 45.5 -46 inches?
