  1. Anyone playing a shorter shafted driver?

    We know many tour pros - including Rory - use a shorter than standard driver shaft. According to the articles and videos the shorter shaft provides better accuracy and some golfers experience better yardage as they are hitting the center of the club face more consistently.

    If you are like me and have some extra drivers laying around, I said what the heck and took one down an inch, re-gripped it and headed to the range. Wow. It was such an improvement. Took it to play 18 and it felt solid and controllable. Hit a bunch of fairways. Some articles talk about having to add lead tape to the head to make up for the shaft being shorter but I have not needed to.

    I'm sure I'll start spraying it soon but for now it sure feels good.

    Just a thought -

    I have been playing a driver shaft shorter by 1 inch from standard for close to 10 years because it improved my accuracy and control with minimal distance change.
