Driver shaft on fairway wood

[cadobady]

Hi

not very well informed on golf clubs so need some advice...

is there anything wrong with putting the shaft of my old driver (Grafolloy prolaunch red S) onto my 15.5 degree fairway wood (taylormade burner)???

my existing shaft on the fairway wood is causing the shots to spin very high - hence the change is necessary - and i am trying to keep the cost down as my only other alternative is either a new (expensive) shaft or trade in for a new club (even more cost) and I cannot afford either at the moment.

appreciate any advice - are driver shafts different to fairway shafts?

thanks

Driver shafts and fairway metals use the same shaft, but depending on the shaft they might be trimmed differently. If I were taking a shaft out of a driver and putting it into a fairway metal, I'd use it as is on the tip end and then trim the butt end to match the overall club length of the club you are reshafting.

I believe that a short Google search will locate for you golf fitting forums which directly address your question.

You can - I would go to the shaft manufacturer's website, look up the model, and find tipping instructions based on your flex and fit.

Yep, I have a driver shaft in my two hybrids.  You just have to know the tip size and they must match up.
