Graman UL540 question(S)

[IrishGolfer]

So my new surprise weapon will soon be making it's way to The Emerald Isle.

I am thinking of changing out the Limey in my TEE and dropping it into my Sonaretc ss2.5 3 wood.

I THINK I have found a shop that can do this, but they will need some instructions. Here are some of the things I need to know...

• Sonaretcs are 0.335 and I think the Graman is 0.335 so no shims required, right?
• When they remove the shaft from the TEE, they will need to cut it down to 3 wood length, what is the standard length for 3 wood, 43"? Do they need to cut from the tip or the butt? I want the same playing characteritics as was in the driver? (ie same flex, trajectory etc.) I have checked out ttp://www.gramanshafts.com/trimming.htm. I assume that this shaft was already tip trimmed to go into the driver head. So do I butt trim to get it to 43"?
• It states on Graman web site that logo is aligned to match with shaft's Optimum Flex Line™. Any thoughts here? Does spining and aligning really make a difference?

Thanks for any input.

See my instructions inserted between yours...

Correct.

You should be fitted....but standard length for most is around the 43" length.

Do they need to cut from the tip or the butt? I want the same playing characteritics as was in the driver? (ie same flex, trajectory etc.) I have checked out ttp://www.gramanshafts.com/trimming.htm. I assume that this shaft was already tip trimmed to go into the driver head. So do I butt trim to get it to 43"?

Because of the added weight of the 3-wood, you'll need to tip off about 1/2", then butt trim to fit.

It states on Graman web site that logo is aligned to match with shaft's Optimum Flex Line™. Any thoughts here? Does spining and aligning really make a difference?
Thanks for any input.

The design is set up so the logo will be pointing up when at address...under the grip, the clubmaker will find a sticker confirming which way the shaft should be orientated.

I've got a UL540 in my Adams 3 wood..............it's one of my favorite clubs. Feels so sweet when I hit it, and takes off like a rocket.
