Hey guys, im about to buy a set of 8 project x flighted shafts for my new iron heads (titleist 695 cb). I was wondering, how much does the length increase by when installing the head onto the shaft? I want mine to be .25 inches over std. and i need to know how long the 5i shaft is going to increase b when adding the head to it, so i can get my 38.25 inches.

Install the shaft then butt cut to the length you want.

won't this increase the stiffness in the shaft?

This is how they are meant to be installed. You need to cut a piece of wood to 60* and buy a 48" ruler. Put the down side of the 60* block where the ruler begins and measure installed and cut to length. These ar tapered tip shafts I presume?

Unless it's something REALLY weird...you NEVER cut an iron shaft at the tip.

Are these tapered or parallel tip shafts? It makes a difference. Sounds like you need to get a professional to do this for you.

I'm really confused as to what the question is.

PX's usually come precut if I'm not mistaken. Flighted shafts, I'm almost possitive, come precut to a certain length (.25 over standard if you order them that way).
Unless it's something REALLY weird...you NEVER cut an iron shaft at the tip.

Tapered tip, you wouldn't cut the shaft from the tip. Parallel tip, you would. It controls flex and kickpoint. To get "proper" flex and kick point in your 9-iron, you should cut the tip xx inches. Same thing with every iron. Then trim off the top to fit your desired length.

I don't know what PX's are - tapered or parallel - because I've never installed them, but make sure they fit your iron head bore.

My original question was, how much does the shaft length increase by when you install a club. I read somewhere that it usually increases by .75 inches after installation. Look at the above link, it says the 5i shaft is 37.25 inches, i thought 38 inches was std. for a 5i, so does it mean that the club head adds .75 inches to the length?

It's gonna vary from head to head. Bore depth and playing position matter as far as measurements. I use a 60* angle standard to measure all clubs I build. 2nd a "Unitized tip" is a new one on me, not sure about that. Ask what the Tip size is. Otherwise I'd pass on those just because I'm not sure what you're getting.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
