CTGolfJim Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 [quote name='square' timestamp='1397773602' post='9114667'] Standard branded 3 wood these days is 43" to 43.5". finished length.

[/quote] RBZ stage 1 Matrix Ozik 60g 41.75 took about 3 grams off the shaft then I added a dritac grip 3 grams heavier than stock grip it feels stock and performs even better. Longer is not better, some day everyone will realize this lol. Pretty soon wedges will be 40 inches. I'll give up my 3 yards of distance to be %50 more accurate any day.

turkeboi Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I had a 3 wood with an xcaliber shaft at 42" (r11 - 15.5*). I was hitting this thing more than my driver off the tee because of it's accuracy. I found an ebay R11 driver head and stuck it on it. Threw my other driver in the closet and just use this weird 3 wood shafted driver all the time. I'm in the same camp as CTGolfJim...I'll take accuracy over distance loss any day of the week.

ElJefe26 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Mizuno MP-650 13.5* with Matrix Ozik 8M2 (around 89 grams uncut) at 42.5" (standard from Mizuno was 43"). I added a few strips of lead tape, not because of the shorter length, but because I have to use mid-size grips, so it brings the swingweight back up above D0.
