Yes mate, a typo. My bad 70x4 in S flex from an Aeroburner driver should be: 70x4 R flex from Aeroburner 3 wood. I have no proof from my experiment that ANY of the shafts were tipped at all. Either all tipped the same(very similar) or maybe none were tipped.

Thanks for the input buddy. Yes, I understand the different flex and weight would give different playing characteristics and that in essence is the point of the exercise. I was referring to a same 3 wood and driver shaft. I really like the "feel" of the 60 S shaft and wanted to see how the same shaft in a heavier weight in R flex "feels". I lined up 3 shafts today by their graphics to see difference in tip lengths. (I am assuming graphics positioning is consistent shaft to shaft). A 60x4 in S flex from an Aeroburner driver.(fixed hosel), a 70x4 in S flex from an Aeroburner driver (fixed hosel) and a 50x4 M2 driver shaft with adapter in S flex. All aftermarket shafts, TM factory installed. The shafts were all within 1/8 of eachother from tip to start of the graphics, the longest actually being the 3 wood shaft. It appears TM tip this shaft the same amount (+ or - 1/16") for 3 wood and driver, regardless whether an adapter is being used. I am surprised as Matrix recommend no tipping for a driver and 1" for a 3 wood for this shaft. WTF is going on at TM? Good results for me though as I will now extend the 3 wood shaft to try in my driver thinking it will be a fair comparison. Alan.

Thanks Marv. I guess what I am REALLY trying to discover is if TM tip a raw shaft the same amount for a glued 3 wood as they do for a driver using a sleeve\adapter. I have a 60x4 sleeved driver shaft in S flex and want to compare it to a 70x4 3 wood glued shaft in R flex that I have.

New member here, hi guys. I have a standard length shaft from a non sleeve/adapter TP Aeroburner 3 wood and want to know a few things about installing it in an M1 driver. Apparently a raw shaft is tip-trimmed 1" for a 3 wood without a sleeve adapter. Also apparently, a raw shaft is tip-trimmed 1" if it is to be installed in a driver using a sleeve/adapter. I am not 100% sure on these points. Please confirm or deny. If so, the said 3 wood shaft should be the same tip length as one that was installed in a driver with a sleeve\adapter at the factory and therefore perform the same. Yes? I understand it would be shorter in the butt though. The shaft is a Matrix Ozik White Tie 70x4. Thanks. 0 Reply Quote Edit
