It seems like every winter I add a club I later am not sure I need. This year I added a Dymo2 11.5 driver with a senior shaft. At the driving range I can hit it well BUT on the course I overpower it and it fades badly to the right. Senior shaft could be the problem but right now I am thinnking the extra length of the Dymo shaft could be easier to fix. It is 1 to 1 1/2 inches longer than my Tour Edge driver and the length is not comfortable to me.  My plan is to shorten the shaft my an inch and see what happens.  Online searches have suggested many people find the shaft of the Dymo2 too long. I welcome any suggestions? What should I expect?  Thanks.

I'm pretty sure stock length on that one is 46". I'd say if you're more comfortable at 45", go for it. As far as flex goes, it's a tough call there since all flexes arent measured equal. Some shops have those frequency meters that can measure it though to see how the two shafts compare. What shaft is in your Tour Exotics?

Just don't tell my wife

Tour edge is regular shaft. I figured just shortening the shaft at the butt by an inch might work. Shortening at the tip probably would stiffen the shaft a bit but that would involve a bit more cost? I will probably ask my local shop which makes sense...cost wise. I really do not want to invest in a new shaft as my Tour Edge is still a strong driver. Like a said earlier... Dymo2 was a winter inspiration!

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
