DaleUK Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 If you was to trim a light shaft, at the Butt end, would this alter the Torque numbers on the Shaft?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankopotamus Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Although T and others on this forum would vote against trimming the tip, but I'm pretty sure you can trim a good amount off the butt end and *not* alter the effective torque on a shaft.

robbie Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I dont think torque numbers would be affected by butt trimming ....i doubt tip trimming would affect torque much either.....Torque measures a rotational force and trimming would probably only affect stiffness.......( disclaimer : im a chemist, not a physicist ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference might not be significant though. I don't know, I'm not a chemist or physicist, I'm just an average golfist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
