Hi Doc, Thanks for your very detailed response. My clubfitter probably does know what to do, but I was just curious to find out for my own education. I use a 44.5" driver, so trimming 1" off the tip to get it to play stiff saves me having to trim 1" off the butt.

I have a MachLine 7080 R flex playing at 45.5" in my 9.5* Epon AF-101. I find it too flexible for my ss of 100mph. How much should I tip it so it will play like my M63 stiff Redboard?

So true! I reshafted my barely used (5 rounds) M40 graphite shafted Data 801's with Black Golds R flex a month ago, and now I love them again. The 120g steel shafts, cut to 37" on the 6 iron, required a lot of lead to bring them up to D2, because the original M40 graphites were 81g(3i) to 88g(PW,AW,SW) with the 6 iron at 37.75". Luckily, my fitter is one of the best in SEAsia, and he was more than up to the task. Time to re-re-shaft my 690.CB's with Black Golds. The soft stepped PX 5.5's which replaced the original Rifle 5.0 flighted just don't have the zip that I had hoped for. Yeah, old fiddles can play good tunes!
