  1. Tip Prep

    Looking at a shaft on the bay. Guy says it hasn't been tipped. Came from an Adams driver and there is 1.5" of paint removal. I'm wondering what is the normal amount of tip prepping for a driver shaft for adapter and ferrule install? Thanks

  2. Cutting Driver Shaft

    So most shafts come a standard uncut length I'm assuming. Then if someone orders 1/2" over for example, the shaft is cut to that specific length. What happens if you want to change the length to standard? Are you changing the shaft properties a lot when you do this? I'm also assuming length is...

  5. Switching TM adapters

    Got a quick question, I have a matrix f6m2 shaft that I love, but I'm looking to upgrade from the R11S to the R1. If I buy the R1 adapter from golfsmith, is it relatively easy to remove the R11S tip and install the R1 adapter? I have a heat gun, epoxy and club vise. Thanks
