Can anybody say how much you would need to tip a ProForce 65 regular to make it freq the same as a stiff? TIA,

Hi Hunter,
You would be better off using a stiff.
When I built my demo drivers for the retail store I used Pro Force gold's and Vector Beta Ti heads knowing that both performed well, I've sent a lot of people to the range with tipped 65 R's and un tipped 65 S's as well as un tipped 65 X's and tipped 65 S's
As well as the same in 75's and all of the above in varying degrees of tipping.
I also have other demo drivers all told ranging from about 215-315 cpm's in about 4 cpm increments with varying tipping basically starting with the softest shafts and the heaviest heads to the stiffest shafts with the lightest heads.
The feedback I've gotten overwhelmingly suggests that the less tipping the better the feel and performance.
I tried to start a thread on the effect of tipping on feel and performance but the only feed back I got was from Tom W. saying that it's effect would depend on the shaft, which I would have to agree with, but in the case of the UST and I am starting to believe with all shafts that the more parallel tip you can offer while still maintaining the frequency you need the better.
