A 3 wood shaft in a driver?? In this vid I look at if putting a three wood shaft into a driver will make any difference to ball flight. Will it make a golfer longer/shorter or more/less accurate?

Peter Finch Golf great comparison. I have the LST Head, although I haven’t hit it yet. Correction: The playing length of driver with the Ping Tour shaft should be 45.25 inches. Know this because I cut down that same shaft 0.75 inches to get to a playing length of 44.5 in.

I’ve been using a 43.5” driver for 25 years. I actually LOSE distance with a “standard” 45+ inch monster. Worst trend ever in the Golf industry is to stick everyone in super long drivers just because an Iron Byron swing machine hits them farther. Regular humans usually don’t. Not to metntion the issues with accuracy and confidence.

I have been using a 3 wood shaft in my driver now, more comfortable, way way more confident, more accurate and overall more consistent, also use a 5 wood length shaft in my 3 wood. Sounds daft but it's working for me and I'm enjoying not losing a load of balls in trees so vicious slices.

I had a TM JetSpeed driver and cut the grip-end down by 1.5 inches. Control improved, and distance was marginally shorter. I still have that driver in the bag I keep at my in-law's. Every time I play with my father in law, I am reminded how much I liked the shorter driver shaft.

It was a mate that suggested shortening my driver length .. it's like the callaway fusion with the shorten shaft ... if it gives more confidence and control and helps finds fairways ... I'm up for bitta that ... looking forward to your course data ... keep up the great work

Great stuff, I just did this with my R15 driver. I had 2 inches taken off reducing it to 43.5 inches. Certainly get the middle of the club more often and haven't lost any noticeable distance. But i now hit more fairways than before. Really interesting that swing speed hasnt all that much. I had heard this before in research before I had mine shortened. All evidence was showing minimal to no reduction. Nice to see a golf pro I've come to trust, back that up. I feel I've made a good decision for my driver.

After watching this vid, i took off for the driving range. For the first time in my golfing life, i tried a 3 wood xtra stiff shaft in my driver. Result = Incredible accuracy and excellent length. plus More Centered Hits... Should of done this years ago. Massive difference in confidence off the Tee now in all weather conditions. Shot shaping with my driver is also now a lot easier. My Handicap 6.. age 53..also Less Lower Back Problems as i am Not Over Twisting as i did with a 46 INCH xtra stiff Driver Shaft. So pleased i tried this out... Great Vid and Massive Thankyou..!!!

I recently did this with my taylormade m1 driver and 3 wood and I was absolutely shocked at the difference for me. I also felt way more in control with the shorter shaft and I felt like I was making better ball contact. My dispersion was also significantly better with the shorter shaft. My numbers shocked myself and my golf buddy. I went from hitting drives total 280 to now a carry of 280 and 305 total distance with the shorter shaft. I feel like most golfers, especially average golfers would benefit more from shorter driver shafts and I think it's a numbers ploy for the manufacturers in order to sell more clubs. This type of data shows that you should never overlook getting properly fitted for your clubs.

I tried out a 3w shaft in my driver for a couple rounds before I went ahead and trimmed my driver down to 43.5". Its definitely a confidence boost. I'm not saying I stripe every fairway every time but I never step up on a tee with that feeling of not knowing where the ball's going. I highly recommend everyone try a shortend driver at some point.

I have a Kuro Kage shaft I never use and always wanted to try a short shaft with the driver. I had it shortened and re-gripped last night as an experiment, it's now at 43" and I just tried it for the first time. WOW! I should have done this sooner! A much better feeling, me swinging the club and not the club swinging me. I didn't loose anything on distance or speed. I will absolutely be shortening my main Ventus shaft now! I watched your video to see if distance stayed consistent for anyone else who tried this. I'm glad it did for you too! If anything I got more distance and I got it consistently. There was no need to choke down, it all felt lighter ;and with more leverage, and I didn't feel jammed. My arms are slightly longer than average so the shorter club made me feel like I had more space for my hands without having to swing out and away so much, I could keep them under me better. That kept the weight on my heels better vs the toes. What a great session.

Good video. I've been playing a 43.5" driver (Nike SQ Dymo or M2 with cut-down shaft and hot melt to D2 swingweight) for the last two years. For me, the longer shaft made the swing one long lever (from my shoulders) and took wrist release out of the swing. The shorter driver shaft let's me have an articulated swing with wrist release - like my other clubs. That generates more clubhead speed and also allows me to better release the club/head and square up at impact.

@simongoodwin666 5 жыл бұрын

Commented on FB before watching your video. When I got fitted for my Epic driver I ended up with a 3 wood shaft in it. For me it meant giving up a few (not many) yards off the tee but meant hitting a lot more fairways. As long as distance is not a huge problem off the tee it is a great swap. Yet another of the advantages to getting custom fit. It is not something I would even have thought of if I had been buying a driver off the shelf

Preach Brother Pete. I’m a short fellow, 5’6” and always had trouble swinging a standard length driver. Gave it up. Hit 3W off every tee, because I could hit it 235 to 255 depending on course conditions, and was in the short grass. Scores stayed consistent. This year I got an Epic Subzero with a 44.5 inch shaft, and oh boy!!! Never have I been this comfortable on the tee box. Still in the fairway, but total length has increased by 25 to 30 yards. All my playing buddies laughed when they took it out of my bag, but cry when they go digging in their wallets after 18 holes!! Pay up suckers. Shorter shafts are the way of the future!!!

Hi Pete, I also experimented. Got a TM R15 shaft shortened by an inch. Thought it would stiffen up the shaft.... it did. It became unplayable.

Hi Pete great video as always. Have you considered using the same shaft weights and brand but just a shorter version? -1.5inch or -1inch? Wondering if it would be the same results then.

I tried swapping a 3 wood shaft with a driver shaft in my M1 last week and the results were instantly better. Dispersion was tighter, strike consistently more out of the middle and I felt my swing in general felt a lot more free so I could really give it some welly. I got a lot out of the toe with the full length shaft, but 3 wood shaft, centre to slightly high heel was where I was hitting it. Maybe half an inch longer 3 wood shaft would have been perfect for it.

swapped in a shortened driver shaft by about 3/4" from a club pro as a trail to see if i liked it or not (was actually only seeing if i liked x-stiff shaft over stiff but they only had a shortened shaft for a trail). i noticed straight away that i was finding more fairways and a lot less dispersion on my drives at no loss of distance. i am average height (5'10") and weight, don't know my club head speeds or anything but did feel more comfortable with the shorter shaft. and for the first time in many years that i could produce more of a straight/small draw instead of slice/cut. keep up the vids

Have my driver at 44" and like you my misses are far less dramatic as far as dispersion and my contact on the face is more consistent. I've hit the ball to some spots at my local course where I haven't been before when I switched to the shorter length. I'd advise you to give it a real shot and maybe tip an x flex an extra inch or so to stiffen the tip and let it get the launch and spin down a bit. Thanks for the vlog. Keep it up Pete!

Glad you finally caught up Pete ;-) As I have said to you before in a previous comment, I am a custom fitter and the majority of people I have fit for Drivers all come in much shorter than standard with no distance lost but a massive variance in dispersion. The only thing I should add is the Swing Weight/Balance Point and MOI of the club the way you tested it will be "Massively" different but in your case with such a repetitive swing, you did not seem to be greatly effected but does explain your tendencies for the heel strikes you were getting. The PGA Tours worldwide have been at 44.5 inches or less for most players in the modern era and this is why buying off the rack is not a good idea if you want your game to advance......keep up the good work!!

go 7 iron length. One length all the way

Hi mate, appreciate this is three years old!! How much did playing with a 7 iron length reduce distance and improve grouping?

Hogwash.....I use a 1995 46" driver as fairway wood. Any good golfer can adapt to a clubs length

I was NOT at all surprised to see your test results as I've seen the same thing when I did this test years ago. What was NICE to see was that YOU could hit the ball so much straighter than what most of the other guys doing club test videos can do Most other guys hit a fade than a draw and who knows what the next swing. With you hitting the drivers, you got pretty much the same ball flight just about every time. Really nice to see what you did compared to the other guys out there. Nicely done Perer.

I am currently debating between a driver and possibly instead a 3 wood hl(hl). My previous drivers and 5 woods were d0 swingweight, and cut in length to 44” and 41.5” respectively but adding weight to head to partly compensate and taking weight off the grip too. The reason for thinking about a 3hl is the versatility to use off the tee and off the fairway more easily. The new titleist ts range offers this possibility as an option. I am thinking of combining this with two hybrids (3,4) and then onto the irons

Pete.. what was the difference in strike location between the 2? I’m interested to see as I think it’s easier with shorter shaft to get more centred strikes more often.. your thoughts?

YES! I was about to do this with my 917d3 and 917 f2! I was wondering if anyone had done it and had a video. I was going to shorten my driver and 3w to get some better control. I Am certainly going to try this on thu. Awesome video Pete....now a video on driver MOI and what that really means to me!

Check that. You cannot put the FW metal shaft in the driver :-/
