Thanks to advice from people on this forum, I recently purchased a UST AXIVcore Tour Green from rockbottomgolf on sale. I don't really want to pull my shaft from my Nike VR driver. I am looking around for a driver head to experiment with this shaft. I found a 905t on craigslist for 40 dollars. A few questions - will this shaft fit into this driver head? How much have drivers improved since the 905t (other than the obvious increase from 400cc to 460cc)? Does this seem like a good idea/deal? Thanks.

Thank you everybody. I actually was thinking of cutting it down from the tip end - I just mis-typed. Glad to hear that will make it stiffer. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the responses. I'll look into the UST axivcore green. golfro, I see you're playing the whiteboard. Are you playing that in an x flex? How would you compare the PX 6.5 and the whiteboard? Do you think tipping the shaft will get the 6.0 anywhere close to the 6.5? Thanks

I know there have been numerous threads about cutting down driver shafts. But I'm wondering how much it will affect the stiffness? I am currently playing the Nike VR Tour with the Project X 6.0 shaft. I have a swing speed between 115-120, and I'm starting to think this shaft is a tiny bit too weak for me. I also choke up on the shaft pretty far. I was wondering how much stiffer the driver would play after cutting the shaft .25 or .5 inches from the butt end? Also, what impact will the change in weight of the club play? Thanks for the help.

I am currently playing Mizuno MP 57s. I got these irons about a year and a half ago. Long story short - I'm looking to get an 8, 9, and pw in a Mizuno muscle back (either 32s, 67s, or 68s). I've been to Golfsmith and asked if they would break one of their used sets up, but as expected they wouldn't. I don't really want to spend 250-400 dollars on a whole set when I only want 3 of the clubs (plus the price to reshaft and regrip them). Does anybody have any idea how I should go about this? Thank you. Edit- I've also been regularly checking on ebay and craigslist.

I'm currently playing the 909 D2 with the stiff flex voodoo shaft. I've come to the conclusion that I may need an X flex (ss 110-115 with the driver). How expensive would it be to switch to an X flex shaft? Would I just be better off selling my driver and getting the same thing with a different shaft? Any shaft recommendations? Thanks for your help.

I have been playing seriously for 4 months now. I was taught the game at an early age and played sporadically throughout my life. I played baseball 12 months out of the year until I went to school last fall to play and sustained a career ending injury. Anyways - I have made some improvements and dropped from the 20 (during my baseball career) to around a 6 now. I have a SS around 105-110 with my driver and 95 with a 6 iron. I always thought I needed a higher ball speed, lower spin ball. I have been playing the Tour IX, Pro V1X, and TP Black. But recently I played my best two 9's with a Pro V1, 35 (-1) and 36 (E). I consider myself a good ball striker - I tend to put myself into trouble off the tee which keeps me from being a more consistent scorer. So are the higher spin balls better suited for my game? If so, what are some of your favorites comparable to the Pro V1?
