  1. How Much Will Tip Trimming Affect Shaft Flex? "When you tip a shaft, what you are doing is removing some of the smaller, more flexible portion of the shaft (tip), and compensating by using part of the larger, stiffer portion of the shaft (butt). This combination makes your tipped shaft be stiffer than an untipped shaft at the same length. It is not really the tipping that makes the shaft stiffer, but rather the fact that you now are using more of the stiffer butt section. For most UST shafts (and those of many other manufacturers), 1" of tip trimming is approximately equivalent to making the shaft ½ flex stiffer. Of course you should use caution in tip trimming shafts. First of all, make sure that the particular shaft is capable of being tipped (check the manufacturer’s instructions). Secondly, make sure that you do not run out of parallel tip sections of the shaft to properly install it into the ferrule and hosel." This is all a quote from a club builder. In my experience, the stiffer the shaft, the more ani-left it is. Tipping will also, lower spin and ball flight....by how much...depends on the player.
  2. WOW....great prices! GLWS
  3. It looks like all the irons have a really nice thin topline, including the deep cavity back iron. I bet they setup great!

    Yeah, it is solid and very easy to hit!
  5. Yes, i found it to be very forgiving. I liked the driver so much that I also picked up the 3 wood to match :)
  6. This one of the best feeling/performing heads out there.

    They are very versatile, surprisingly enough they kicked the epon and vega's out of the bag....not as nice feel wise, but the results are better for me.
  10. They are the 2006 model. Great looking set! They look very similar to the 2011 Mizuno mp63's, apparently they were ahead of the times.

    Jason is located in Canada and he is a good guy to deal with.
  15. nice pick up D! Michael is a great guy to work with and he is fairly close to you.
  16. I have owned both the maxima and the 435. I sold the 435 and currently play the maxima type v and it is easily the most forgiving driver I have played. How is overall performance? The maxima is the most consistent driver I have ever played. It really just wants to go straight, but can be worked either way. How does it perform on off center strikes? Miss hits...it is not even a competition...maxima How is the feel? Maxima feels a lot better on both solid and miss hits How is the distance? For me, the maxima is longer than the 435 on solid strikes How is the sound? This was one thing that I really did not like about the 435. It was so loud. The maxima is more muted. Again...this is just my opinion. =)
  17. Great, now I just need to find a .350 shaft to put into it. Thanks guys for all of your help/input!
  18. Anyone else that knows for sure or has input???
  19. Does a .350 tip work? or did you use the .335 and shim it? what shaft did you replace it with?
  20. Yeah, i have read/heard different things....so I want to be 100% sure.
  21. Hey guys, can anyone tell me what the tip/hosel size is for the Syard t.388? Thanks!
