Today, Wilson s Fat Shaft and Pure Spin s over-hosel designs are similar to the older designs. Unfortunately, these too are non-repairable by clubmakers due to lack of shaft availability. The clubs can be sent to the factory for repair, so unlike the designs of a few decades ago, they can still be reshafted. In an effort to gain more control, many clubfitters trim more off of the tip than is recommended by the manufacturers. This can often cost the user some yardage.
Manufacturers recommend certain amounts of tip trimming for a good reason.
That's what makes their shafts work best. Jason Zhuback told Swingweight. Com that the problem he sees most in rookies and amateur clubfitters is that they tip trim their shafts too much for too low a torque rating. He recommends that torque not be lower than 2.2. Flex Variations from Apache Women and senior golfers have been routinely provided with a very narrow range of flex options.
