  1. I am shortening my driver shaft to 44.5” I have had the standard GT 2. What will I need to do with my clubhead weight?

    I want to say every half inch = a swing weight (+2g). So you’ll want to add +4g if your shaft played at the Titleist standard 45.5” before to achieve the same swing weight.

    Go to a +6 headweight. Shortening a shaft by 1/2" is a loss of 3 swingweight points. Assuming you are using a standard Lamkin rubber grip. I have a TS2 driver with Tensei 55R and 44.5" length. I use an Excel RF oversize grip and a +2 headweight gives it the correct feel with a swingweight of D1.5. I have a 915D2 with 44" and Diamana S60+ with 11g headweight and it comes in at D1.

    Hi Trevor! In order to get authentic Titleist weights, your best bet would be to go through an authorized fitter in your area. The general info is in the link below.

    You will need at least a 12 weight. I put a 14 in mine at 44 1/4 length
  6. Nothing at all. Play it.
