What is the Importance of Tip Trimming?
In certain cases, you will not cut a shaft at all from the tip end. This may be because the shaft is designed for a putter, driver, a hybrid or an iron or wedge requiring a taper tip shaft. Parallel tip shafts (where the shaft remains a constant diameter from the tip up a specified distance up the tip) will most often require some tip trimming. This is required to offset the increasing heads weights as the clubs become shorter and maintain the flex the manufacturer designed into the shaft for a finished club. So, there is a rhyme and reason behind tip trimming.
