I'd like be able to get a *firm* flex (about halfway between regular and stiff) from an Aldila Tour Gold 65-ST shaft that's going into a titanium driver head. The finished club length will be 45". It would seem the only way to achieve a firm flex would be to tip a regular flex 65-ST, which is 46" long uncut and has a 3.5" parallel tip section. Roughly how much tipping would be required to bring a regular flex 65-ST up to a firm rating (approximately)? I'm guessing that I can tip it as much as 2" with a standard bore head and end up with a finished length of 45". Would it be possible to use a blind-bore head in this situation or would any tipping make the shaft too short to build a 45" driver with a blind bore?
As always, any info will be greatly appreciated. TIA. Jack Russell __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.yahoo.com
