A good idea is to add more weight to the Clubhead, since cutting the shaft will change the swing weight. It will feel lighter, and can mess with your swing. But if you like it as is, no worries.
I did think of adding a bit of led tape to the head, but without a way to check the swing weight I thought I'd mess it up! It worked ok. Now I've switched out to the TM mini and loving the even shorter shat on that.
Never leave the old tape on, like the guy said in another comment some tape does not like certain solvent. The old tape is dry and will soak up the fluid and never dries! Had this happen to me my first grip change. I even let them dry for a couple days before i took them out, first swing the club literally twisted in my hands.
I never thought about that with the old tape. When I do my irons I always take the old stuff off with a heat gun. For this club, I just wanted to test the shorter shaft with a crappy grip before doing it properly. A couple of weeks after I shot this video, I replaced to cheap grip I had lying around with a tour velvet, and removed all the old tape during that change. Loved the slightly shorter shaft, so much so I know switched to a baby driver fairway finder 🏌
Would you ever cut down your driver yourself?

Definitely not enough tape solvent or maybe the wrong type for that tape but the grip should slide on with little effort
Yeah, usually they slip on fine. I think I left it a bit long before putting it on messing around with the camera.
