I know that can be overdone, but I prefer to err on that side of things! So I was thinking of weakening my irons to pre-a five iron is really a four iron days! Has anyone done this? Would love some feedback! O Did you just modify your current driver and take 2 inches off the grip end of the shaft...did you have to do anything to maintain the swing weight. hg View Public Profile Send a private message to hg Find all posts by hg
