    Playing a 913 D2, 10.5 loft,  club head speed 105,  Previously a 910D2, with Diamana Ahina, 72 Stiff.  Wanted higher ball flight, so got the 12 degree 913 D2 new but they only had Regular shaft, I could put the Ahina in the 913, which is low to mid  but wanted to see if by triming 1" off the tip of the S+62, I could accomplish the stiffness I wanted...but not sure of the ball flight, & other changes it might have on the club. I, know if will make the club shorter, but I can put an extension on the butt to get back the length if I want to...Can anyone give me feedback on what to expect?  Im a 1 hand cap, and hit the 910 very accurately

    Cutting 1" off the tip will cause the tip to play stiffer,  so if you're trying to turn the face overt  that may help you will also need to account for the weight because you're swing weight will be off.  Hope this helps

    With a club head speed of 105, you must have a heck of a steep angle of attack to be looking for more loft than a 10.5 degree head. But it is what it is. You can adjust the 10.5 913 to 12 degrees loft with the adjustment hosel, as well as quickly swap shafts on a D2 910 to 913 (and 915) before you start cutting the S+. Tipping the R won't get it as stiff as the S option. Unless you can't return the 12 degree, a good fitter may be able to get the 10.5 where you want it for at most just a new shaft, like the M+ in stiff, if the Ahina won't work well in the 913.

    Cutting 1" off your shaft, will make your shaft 1" shorter.
