Jim:             That’s what makes the first step trimming the best because you don’t have to measure the hosel depths.

They are dynalite R/S shafts. Weight - 123.5 gms, length 42" , Tip section 12.5". This seems to be a non standard dyna lite shaft, The step pattern matches an old shaft i have that i know to be a dynalite but the weight is a little high, the tip section is 1/2" over and the overall length is 1" over. So i am a little confused on what to do with the trimming for a wedge set i have. my second problem is with general tip trimming guidlines that i am also a little confused on. as i understand it the general rule for trimming iron shafts is based on a 1" bottom of bore to sole. for example i have a wedge i am shafting to an R flex, the top of hosel to bottom of bore is 1.4", the bottom of bore to sole is 1.6" in order to achieve an R flex according to mfg spec of the shaft I would need to trim an additional .6" from the specified trimming guide. Is this correct? Thanks - Jim Letourneau Hi Jim, 4 1/2 for R, 6 1/5 for S, somewhere in between for somewhere in between, and more for more and less for less. David
