How can I find out info. on how long a shaft will play in a given head?

Is there a magical website that I have no idea about?

Shaft, he's a bad motherf****er. Shaft! Oh, I'm sorry, I was distracted by the title. It's not my fault, I'm a child of the 70's! Yes, hi, I'd like to set up an appointment with the therapist!

In order to know how long a shaft will play you need to know the bbtg (bottom bore to ground) measurement of the head. No site has this info readily available.

Ahhh, I see.

I have the Tour Burner regular retail head and the Nike 5000 head. I'll do some searching if someone has the answers I'd appriciate it.

So is it the BBTG measurement plus the length of the shaft to get the playing length?

Plus a 1/4 inch for the butt of the grip
