This topic may have already been discussed. 

Do any other club makers here make trimming amount adjustments to account for hozel bore depth variations? 

For example. If I have a hozel bore of 1.35” and another that is 1.45”. Would it be in error to lessen the tip trim of the 1.35” by the 0.1 “ to account for the bore depth variation? 

I know if splitting hairs but I’m just that kind of guy when it comes to my own equipment.  It’s the hobby machinest that’s got me messed. 

I’ve created an excel spreadsheet to input trim code chart data, the hozel depths and the shortest hozel depth. It then calculates the variation difference for the “adjusted tip trim” dimension. 

Understanding I may not feel the difference of 0.1”. Is there anything wrong per say with doing the adjustment? It’s may be more of a mind thing, a confidence that I’ve taken the equipment portion of this game out. Just execute the swing... 

Thanks in advance everyone.

Manufactured tip trimming are basic guidelines.
Any variation to the guidelines are a matter of preference.
Long story short, trimming less or more, one can achieve various effects to the shaft performance.

I don't make adjustments.  I've never found a big enough difference in hosel depths to make a difference.  You could drive yourself crazy chasing a couple thousandths of an inch.  If you do that, then you'll have to weigh the heads and grips, and use the exact same amount of epoxy for each club.  I believe in being as accurate as possible when building clubs, and thankfully hosel depths from the major manufacturers are pretty consistent.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
