Any help on the matter would be great, thanks...maybe from some of those club builders we have in the crowd
Shortening a driver shaft should not make any direct change to your ball flight. It's possible that if you hit the shorter driver better than the longer one your ball flight might change, but that would be because your swing mechanics have changed.
