2 club questions...

[ezra76]

1) I have the TP 5W shafted up with the Speeder 857ti. I want to play it a little longer, like a 4wood shaft length since it is 17.5*. What length should I butt cut it to?

2) Should I pull the TP graphics 757 stiff out of the R510TP and put it in the 13* Vsteel head? If so should I have it tip trimmed?

I think that to play longer, I would shaft the five wood at three wood length, which is usually 43 inches.

Fuji recommends NO tip trim from driver to three wood. That's what I'd do.

1. 42.75" is 4 wood length. 43" is "standard" 3 wood length.

2. For a 3 wood, no. 0.5" for a 5 wood.

Edit: Clug got me by a second....

[ezra76]

Ok. So I'll go just under 43" I guess. So is this a "yes, pull that Speeder" also.

[Rockford35]

Do whatever you want. That'd be a good setup.

What he said.

Not that you haven't thought of this, but why not ho a TP speeder off Ebay? That way, when the TMSQ acts up, you can go back to the 510. I've seen them go for ten bucks on Ebay, although I'm usually looking at the Titty Speeders.

[ezra76]

Are you guys sure on the length? I just measured my 200steel 4wood - 42", my 200steel 3w - 42.25" and the R75W now sits at 42.5".

[Clugnut]

Steel or graphite?

Steel is half inch shorter.

TM's site says 43 for two/three wood, 42.5 for five wood for the R7 TP.

Steel. I see I am at stock playing lenght already... what luck.

Oh, and those TP Speeder's are not $10 on Ebay. Try $90-$100 for a pull. They are a real Speeder, exactly the same as the tour spec. I only paid $100 for the 510TP anyway. As far as that "backing up" the Superquad? If I can't hit the Superquad I sure as heck won't be able to hit the 510TP. That's like saying "I can't hit my 3wood off the deck, better put the 1iron blade in the bag" lol.

OK, I'm not up on my TP speeders.

I keep my old 983K to back up the R5tp. I find that with the new larger head, I go for it too much. Going back to a smaller head makes me think about the contact, not just swinging out of my shoes.

So, pulling the Speeder and using it, than hoing the head sounds just great.

Yeah, I might as well. Not sure what I'd get for the head, but I don't really care. Scary, after I shaft up that 3w and trade for a Vokey 56-10, my bag just might be finished. Now what will I do with my life... lol.
