How many of you would like to see a driver head about halfway between a mini and a 460 with loft in 12° range and the shaft around 44"? I sure would.

Chop a few inches off the butt and regrip a 12 degree. Also if you struggle with driver it's alwaysa good idea to go r flex. Too many people think r flex is for weenies not knowing it would improve their game 10 fold.How many of you would like to see a driver head about halfway between a mini and a 460 with loft in 12° range and the shaft around 44"?

What is the deal with the mini drivers? Are they larger fairway woods, or smaller drivers? Are the shafts shorter? Might be something I should look into.
The results are pretty obvious in here though, people aren't struggling with the head size being smaller for the minis. Shaft is the main reason. Simply trimming a driver then leaves issues with swing weight unless you have a driver with replaceable weights. I think a market is evolving for a slightly larger mini.
That's true. I just got a heavier shaft for my driver with the intention of having it trimmed by an inch. I'm not a huge fan of lead tape but have used it in the past. I guess I need a really good fitting like Callaway offers.Swing weight can be fixed a number of different ways with very little issue.
Let's say you got an r flex Miyazaki C Kua at 45.75. Butt trim an inch and a half, add grip tape and regrip. With added weight in grip tape it will cou ter balance what you took off. Guaranteed it won't affect the flex much if at all.Can you explain this further? Im struggling to figure out the correlation. Wouldnt having the correct flex be more important than saying R will help someone do this or X will help someone do that? Im sure I am just missing something.

A shaft with a lighter flex is easier to "kick" if you will and most beginners to amateur golfers tend to swi g a bit slower.I'm still not sure I understand how "going to regular flex" fixes something? I try and understand shafts and talk to the people that make them to make sure people are getting the right info and I have just never heard this before. Now getting the right flex makes sense, based on how the body reacts to something.

Thanks for the chuckle. Guess I should chunk my shafts and start over.

Yep, several easy ways to take care of that. SW is subjective. Most people will never notice the difference if you butt trim a shaft and inch. Two inches, maybe.
Just curious. Say if you decided to butt trim 1.5 inches off a 45.75 length driver. To get the swing weight back to factory specs , would you add lead tape to the head or would you try to build the weight back to the grip side of the club?

I cut my driver down to 44.5 and added enough lead tape to get the swing weight right. I hit the ball today straighter than I ever have in my golfing life. Absolutely nuked the ball on a string and the ones not straight had a tiny draw . It's kind of fun hitting the middle of the club face.
