I recently switched the shafts in my PingG425 Driver and G425 3-wood. With the 3 wood shaft in my driver I am longer and much, much more accurate. A super cool side effect is my 3-wood with a driver shaft. I'm crushing this club now ! Off of the tee, downwind it is ultra long. Off the deck I picked up 10-15 more yards with the Driver shaft in the 3-wood. Additional Note : I was so pleased with the results above that I went and bought a PingG425 7-wood, and had them put a 3-wood shaft in it. The 7-wood has become an absolute weapon for me from 210 ! Win, Win, Win !! All test results are with Titleist Pro-V1 golf balls.

I grabbed my grandpa's walmart spec driver from 2003 just to mess around with. I ended up hitting it super straight but about 40 yards shorter. The lower yardage didn't matter because I was able to see the green on my second shot rather than behind trees, off fairway, and in bad shape. I didn't realize his club was shorter until this video and now it all makes sense! Looks like I'll be shortening my modern driver and putting it back in the bag!

Im 6’1” and just went out and bought a toddler driver and am finally hitting the ball 400 yards! Thanks for the tip

Agree 100%. I am only 5'6" and I always take off 2 inches on my driver and 3 wood. Shorter guys should even take off more than taller guys obviously!

I'm 5-foot-9 and cut 2.25 inches off my SIM. Best decision ever, hitting way more fairways. Cutting and re-gripping is actually pretty easy / straightforward process.

I Had my M2 Cut to 44" and it was great this absolutely fixed my driving problem ! Im a Staunch Believer !!!

Years ago, I played with a 44-inch, 7 Degree TaylorMade Driver. The caddies at Chambers Bay were astounded that a 5'8" middle-aged man could hit it as far as I did. Recently shortened my Ping 430 Max to 44 inches and purchased new heaver swing weights to bring the Driver back to D3 D4 swing weight. Let the Tests Begin!

I keep telling my wife, 2 inches less is better and more consistent. she and her bf disagree.

Another solution is to choke up for accuracy. Also, tee boxes are not level for drainage reasons. You can change position to adjust up to 2 driver club lengths behind the marker. The ball must be in the tee box. Your stance can be outside the tee box.

When shortening your driver, not only is swing weight affected but also flex. Shortening the shaft 1" will drop the swing weight by 3 points but also increase the stiffness by 1/2 a flex spec.

FYI Cobra is currently selling a 44.5” ltdx driver with the swing weight already corrected

Cut my driver to 44 inches and my 3 wood to 41 inches. We will see how my handicap changes. Hopefully, for the better. Had some deep thought about this myself.

I've been playing with a driver length of 44.50" for the last four years. My current driver, Titleist TSi1 is at 44.50", instead of the stock length of 45.50" because it is easier for me to hit and make more FIR'S. My old TaylorMade M6 D-type was also at 44.50" instead of the stock length of 45.75". I will never play a stock length driver, ever. I will never give up accuracy for length and a poor dispersion rate.

Just an average player who shoots in the mid to high 90s but I can say I cut down my driver by an inch and it worked out great for me, personally I feel like you sacrifice a little bit of distance but the accuracy and consistency you gain is worth it

My stealth 2 HD is 45.5. I am going to try it at 43.5 and just see how I get on. You don't know if you don't try huh.

for Rory playing a 44" length Driver is right for a guy his height. most Drivers have a 45" playing length shaft in them when purchased which is ideal for some around 6 feet tall, pending a proper wrist to floor measurement. a 46" playing length shaft is meant for some like Dustin Johnson who is 6'4", I believe the last time he had a big win his Driver playing length was 45.75"

I would love to see you test out the single length drivers that are built to be 42 like their fairway woods

How does pertain to taller people though? Rory is only 5'9

So what end do you cut the shaft to see this gain? What do you do with swing weight?

I use a 5 wood shaft in my aerojet my miss hits are 250 in fairway my good hits are 275 fairway swinging out of my shoes I hit 290-300 still in fairway. Shaft measures 42" so driver is playing 43 I've tried going back to reg shaft and can't come close to 5 wood shaft numbers

I totally understand, but have you tried this test by choking down on your driver?

Pxg has shorter driver shafts I think. I’m using one with my ping and it is def way easier to hit than my other shafts

Great vid! If I'm ordering a club from online, how would i handle the swing weight? Will I have to take it and the tape to a local shop?

I am going to cut an inch from my driver every week until I start hitting it 400 yards. Watch out Bryson, DJ, Rory - here I come.

Me: bought the paradym because i like blue

So a regular shaft becomes a stiff shaft

I’ve been playing my driver at 43.5 for about 15 years. This is very old news.

i want it 46 so i can get closer to the hole.

Mini burner?

I just choke up a couple of inches on each club.

I wonder what the outcome would be with a taller player rory is under 6 foot right!?

Maybe you all might actually HIT THE BALL 250 ydrs the shorter driver helps so much

Shorter is always better

Go Green!

If I wanna try this out without buying a new shaft, can I just slap my 3 wood shaft on my driver?

I can’t use my driver for shit, because it’s to long. Have to use my 5 iron to get on the green. Def need a shorter driver.

Gripping down somewhat...?

Should you also shorten your three and five wood?

Remember when you do this the shaft becomes stiffer

Robots can hit them further, that is why.

Absolute bambs

when you say 44", does that mean playing length?

Come on, get usurious. The majority of golfers don't have a 130mph swing speed.

@golfbusters DONT generalise! 99% of golfers should not shorten their drivers - you can never be taken serious again. delete channel

Yup just shorten your driver and you will be able to hit 350+ with accuracy on the fade and draw no problem hahahahaha

Rory is the height of a small child. Of course he would have a shorter driver,

This is a good video had some good information made me laugh well done, sir
