Cutting Down Shaft For R9 Supertri

[drmeh]

I currently have the Taylor Made Super-Tri Driver. I was fit into the Aldila ReAX 60 gram regular shaft. Currently the driver sets up at 45.75 inches. When I hit in on the screws it soars. Then there are those times that I occasionally get quick on the downswing and it's too much to handle.

I will admit that I am looking for more consistency. However, I do not know how to find out what length I need. Some have said to just choke down. However, that gives me a totally different feel in the downswing. Some suggest cutting the shaft down. Yet, that changes the swing weight.

I need some "expert" advice to get me on the right track. I have a number of tournaments coming up and want to get back in the groove. Love the driver, but need help "tweaking" it. Thanks for any input.

***If this helps, I currently play to a 6.4 handicap.

Cut 1 inch of and add a winn lite grip and you will have the same swing weight. I have been more consistent since I lopped an inch off of my driver.

The lighter grip makes that big of a difference?
