Cutting shafts...On irons?

[RKO]

Hey guys, me and my brother were having a conversation about this tonight, and we were talking about hitting the dreaded long irons (eg. 4 and especially the 3 iron). It is pretty common to get your shaft shortened for your driver, and I was wondering if anyone has actually done that with their 3 iron, or even 4 iron? (Like down to the same length as your, say...5 iron maybe). Is that common at all, and would it affect the club at all? Now, I am not looking to do this, but i'm just wondering out of curiosity, thanks everyone!

It would probably hurt your distance with those clubs some. I'm not sure if it would affect the shaft's performance significantly, though. A lond time ago Tommy Armour marketed a set of irons that were all basically the same length, so that you could use the same swinig all the way through the bag. I don't think they did very well in the market.
