 I read that: 
 Matteo Manassero`s new driver is: 
 Driver: Titleist 913D2 8.5&amp;amp;#186; (Graphite Design Tour AD DI6 X @ 45&amp;amp;quot; tipped 1.5&amp;amp;quot; with SureFit Tour setting B •1) 
 My Q is: 
 45&amp;amp;quot; Tipped 1.5&amp;amp;quot; is the total lenght 45&amp;amp;quot;?? 
 The 1.5&amp;amp;quot; tipped is it</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: Tipped</title><link>https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/thread/83747?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:39:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:5712fb72-9414-41a0-a724-e71eb6c2c185</guid><dc:creator>Ryan P</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Bjarne,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I apologize for the tardiness of my reply!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To answer your questions, the tipped 1.5&amp;quot; means that during the prepping of the shaft (part of the build) the build team would trim the shaft from the tip 1.5&amp;quot; prior to putting on the hosel.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The purpose of doing this is to&amp;nbsp;stiffen up the shaft a little bit.&amp;nbsp; His shaft would be tipped 1.5&amp;quot; with a final build length of 45&amp;quot; (shaft in head).&amp;nbsp; The raw length of shafts are obviously longer than this allowing some options in the tipping.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are looking for a 44&amp;quot; shaft, I would request it as this or just mention 1&amp;quot; short of standard.&amp;nbsp; Our standard length driver is 45&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; Either way we can build the shaft to your desired length.&lt;/p&gt;
