    At age 70 (7.8 hcp) I have developed arthritis in my hands. I have a typical Titleist driver with a stock shaft. I might hit it pretty good starting the round but as I get fatigued I begin to struggle. I got the TaylorMade mini driver, 13.5, and it has been good for me. I hit it as far or farther on most holes and finish the round stronger. I like this video because I have been considering shortening the shaft on the Titleist and I want to get off to good start if I try it. Thanks Nerd!

    Question for you. If cutting the shaft down at the butt end looses weight at the butt end, and adding weight at the head is advised to counteract this lose in weight, aren't you just shifting the fulcrum point even closer to the head? Both these alterations would make the head feel heavier, no?

    • @imejandiskate
      @imejandiskate 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      if you were to only cut the butt end of the shaft and not add weight, you are still shifting the fulcrum point closer to the head, right?

    • @TheGolfNerd
      @TheGolfNerd 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      No this is inaccurate. If you grab a broom in your house and hold it from the extreme end and try to lift it you’ll notice it’s damn heavy. If you then reach halfway down and do the same thing, you’ll notice it feels drastically lighter. From a physics standpoint, you are shortening the moment arm and it takes less force to lift it as a function of the lever arm length. But when you add weight to the head, it makes it feel heavy as it did originally, similar to the broom example.

    • @imejandiskate
      @imejandiskate 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@TheGolfNerd ha that makes perfect sense. Thank you. I got one more... I currently game a driver with a 70g stiff shaft that is 45.75" long. I want to cut it an inch and NOT add weight to the head. My overall goal is to make it feel lighter as well as shorter (it is just too heavy). Am I correct with this thinking or would head weight still be needed?

    • @TheGolfNerd
      @TheGolfNerd 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@imejandiskate it depends how much you shorten the club and what the current swing weight is. For example, let’s say it’s playing really heavy at D6. If you shorten it by 1/2”, that’ll lower it from D6 to D3, approximately. If you shorten by an inch, around D0, which for most will begin to feel too lite. More than an inch would necessitate adding weight in my opinion. Good luck!!

    There are some flawed physics in this video. Unless you are cutting off more than 3 inches. You don’t need to add stiffness or weight. The shorter shaft will be naturally stiffer. For example if you buy -1.5 clubs they DO NOT use a stiffer shaft, heavier shaft or change the head weight. This is all misleading information. Shorter shaft will naturally add torsional rigidity, because the club head is now closer to the leverage point, your grip.

    • @TheGolfNerd
      @TheGolfNerd 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Man you are welcome to do whatever you like but the stiffest part of any shaft is the handle which is where most folks remove material. Once you add weight to the head to reach swing weight, you will definitely change the flex of the shaft. The idea that folks don’t add weight back when they cut off 1.5” is pretty wild. Good luck to ya!!

    • @itshadouken
      @itshadouken 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@TheGolfNerdI’m aware but the shorter club accounts for this. You don’t need to add head weight. If you just shorten your driver to 43-44” it’s fine as is. It doesn’t make the shaft less stiff. I cut down an old Ping G5 from 45.5 to 43.5 and it’s perfect. It was a 55g SS shaft and I felt no difference. My swing speed is over 120 so if this was a major problem I’m pretty sure I would know.

    The Cut and ProV1 are hard to tell apart. The big difference is the Cut doesn’t advertise, sponsor or endorse and sells factory direct. They cost $19.95/dozen.

      I think you can use most wedges in a variety of ways, and certainly you could play bump and runs with the 50°. Having said that, the chipper is a dedicated club for those greenside chips and it is very good at this shot. So, if your wedge play is a strength and you can vary your shot type with a wedge, the 50° would work, but if you are losing strokes around the green, I’d recommend the 42° for it’s purpose built performance.

    I'm half tempted to try my hybrid shaft on my driver. I hit my hybrid extremely consistent. 100g stiff flex. 42 inch. Anyone tried this?

    • @TheGolfNerd
      @TheGolfNerd หลายเดือนก่อน

      Man I tried so many crazy things before I settled on the method I shared in this video. I for sure tried a 3 wood shaft before, but to do this and make it as good as possible you have to include the swingweight portion of the technique by adding weight. In other words, you won’t hurt anything to try what you mentioned, but I think you’ll find the swing weight way too lite and as a result, difficult to control. Good luck!!

      @brianbasile5228 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@TheGolfNerd you think the swing weight would be too light with a 100g shaft? I was using a 60g at 45 inch, then a 70g at 45. So I wonder if 100g at 42 would help keep it straight. I’m unconsciously accurate and consistent with my hybrid (probably the only club I can say that about). So I’m curious if the same shaft with a driver head would replicate the consistency, but with more distance naturally since it’s a driver head

    I have no idea how you're getting the Snell with 9 and 11mph less ball speed in your tests. There is now way that is accurate. I just tested out the new Prime 4.0 alongside the new Wilson Staff Model X. I played the Chrome Soft X most of last year. The Snell Prime 4.0 is every bit as long as both other balls I listed. I find it unbelievable that Dean Snell would release a ball lagging that far behinds the others. Something is off with you test.

    • @TheGolfNerd
      @TheGolfNerd หลายเดือนก่อน

      Human testing is what it is, but I do try to present data that accurately reflects the performance that I see. Having said that, all of the balls that you just mentioned are higher compression 4 piece balls. Everyone who has used the 4.0 Snell has said it performs great, I wish the 3.0 had as well because I really wanted to see it perform well.

    I’m interested to see you do a similar test with some 2 piece balls. Titleist TruFeel, Taylormade Distance+, Callaway Supersoft, etc. These balls are less expensive so potentially used by a larger amount of people. Then compare to the 3 piece balls.

Also be interesting to see a low compression vs medium compression vs high compression 2 piece balls regarding spin, distance, etc. Woukd be interesting to see if the swing speed and ball compression stuff is true. Is it obvious yet that I play a 2 piece ball? Haha Either way I enjoyed this video and appreciate you putting out this content.

      Just buy the 48 pack of Maxfli Tours with the $20 off coupon that Dick's offers a few times per year. You get 48 balls for $96 which is what you pay for the "cheaper" balls. Also, it's nowhere near as firm as the TP5-X. It's closer to a TP5 or ProV1. I can't play the TP5-X or ProV1X because they don't launch as high and spin too much for me.

    I must admit, I tried every ball I could get my hands on to see if I could find a ball without the absurd Titleist price point that still played great.

      The sole designs are similar but they are pretty different clubs. My recommendation, if you want a more dedicated club for around the green, I’d go chipper. If you want something more forgiving for 30-75 yard shots, I’d go SW. Hope this helps!!
