I have zero experience with tipping shafts and predicting performance outcomes. But I need to know . . .

For a Fujikura 652 Speeder Tour Spec stiff shaft, how much of a difference does a 1/2" tipping make in the performance characteristics of the shaft for a driver?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Shaft should feel stiffer and the flex point should move upward... I think. Specifically it is hard to say EXACTLY what it will turn out to be, most of the time you need to add a tip weight to help compensate to get you back to the correct swing weight.
