Cutting driver shaft....4 wood too?

Hi guys,

 

I am going in to get my VR STR8 Fit cut to 44.5 this weekend ( current 45.75 which is too long for me )

 

I also struggle with my 4 wood, do you think cutting it to 41/41.5 would help? I consistently hit it better when I choke up, so I figure I may was well chop it

I think you should leave it like it is and choke up on it a little, once you cut it there is no going back.

So I got my driver cut to 44.5 from 45.75.....and wow...what a difference....getting far more solid contact.

I think you should experiment with choking up, and if it works well, go for it. I have a shorter than standard driver as well, it's just so much more consistent. My driver is 1" short (plays at 44") and I have my 13* wood and 17* hybrid both a 1/2" short (42.5" and 40.5"). Works great, I feel like I have so much more control, without giving up yards. I have a feeling that you will end up cutting your 4 wood and loving it.
