Duffer19 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I have a SIX that I am pulling from a dis-used driver and installing in a 3 wood. The SIX is an older International model and not the new ZCOM Six but I believe they are the same. According to Fuji website, it would be ok for 3 wood but no tip trim due to its short pararell tip. For a 42.5 in finished length, I would have to trim a bit from the butt end. To all those shaft experts out there, would I have a problem with this 'procedure' and still retain the shaft profile and playing characteristic? Of course, I am just too cheap to get a proper FW shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I am just too cheap to get a proper FW shaft. I was hoping some more knowledgable clubmakers would answer you back but heres my take. I'm no clubmaker but I do know my clubs and what works. Over the years I've used quite a few 3 woods with driver shafts I recycled. I had a clubfitter I trusted do the work for me and they always turned out great. I say install according to Fuji's recommendations and then trim the length from the butt end. The shafts' characteristics should still stay the same, its just a shorter shaft that's all. You not affecting the bend profile or tip so it should still play the same. Yes its shorter, but its a 3wood. In fact, I still use an old Speeder shaft in my 22° TRC utility club and it performs great. In fact its so good its one reason why its still in the bag. Very reliable. Give yours a go and let us know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Thanks Blader for your input. The old Six is still one of the best from Fuji and I was hoping to recycle two that I have in drivers. While my club fitter never did a six on the FW, he read that a few tour pros use it on 3 woods.

You know its fun to play all the new shafts, but a lot of those old Fuji's are still pretty damn good. Have you club fitter go to work on it and then let us all know how it performs.
