David Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Just got a set of Z101s with PX 6.5 shafts. I weighed them last night and they came out D5. The 5 iron length in 38 1/2 inches. My question is I know I can trim 1/2 off and get the SW to around D2. But wouldn't I get the same effect if I just choke up a 1/2 inch? Would consistently choking up a 1/2 inch effect the playability of the club Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickBooras Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 If you don't want to be playing 1/2" over standard like they are, I see no harm in cutting them down to standard (38" 5 iron). If you do, two things to remember: 1. Make sure you have your lie angle checked again. Ever 1/2" you cut off makes the club play 1 degree flat, roughly. 2. Make sure your new grips are the same weight. If you go lighter or heavier you could run into swingweight problems again. Choke up if you like, it will give you the same effective swing weight, but I personally think it feels strange to grip down like that.
