With so much success with cutting some off my Driver shaft I am thinking of shortening the 3 wood and 5 woods. Both are the 07 Burners, already have the lighter shaft so I wouldn't want to take too much off of them. Currently I hit both clubs fairly well however I feel that if we take just a bit off (3/4" or so) the accuracy will be that much better.

I would sugest cutting down one or the other. For me I actully cut down my 5 wood so I can hit it out of bad lies ect. I have never cut down my driver or 5 wood, but I did this just for a test and live it. I also do have a hybrid though with the 1/2 inch over size shaft on it for the course's with little rough and great tight fairways.

why not just choke down on the club so that you don't lose any torque?

I like my set to flow, so when I cut down my driver I had to cut my 3 wood and 5 wood to match it. I cut the 3 1/2" shorter than the driver and the 5 1/2" shorter than the 3 wood...

3/4s is a lot, you should try 1/2 first

      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.
