Bravopilot funny thing is, I shafted the 5 wood with a full length driver/ wood shaft, left it full length and had a hard time hitting it. I tried more than a few different days. Pulled the grip and trimmed an inch off, and tried again. It was easier, I just wasn't really comfortable and consistent so I started choking up on it. Pulled the grip and trimmed another inch off. I'm currently gripping the club just off the middle of the grip, closer to the butt end and now I'm hitting it fairly well. I wanted to make sure that I had it to the length that worked best for me... Found out that it was a few inches longer than my 3 when I had both in the bag...
