I used to always play a 45" driver with a 88 mph club head speed. I'm just under 5'4", so I decided to switch to a 43" driver. About 6 months ago I cut the 45" driver down all the way to 43", and I didn't add any weight to the shaft or head. At first it felt great, and I was hitting incredible shots with it.
Now, in the recent month(s), I'm not liking the feeling of the club, and the inaccuracy isn't helping. My club head speed has increased to 94 mph, but my drivers aren't any longer, but my accuracy has suffered.
My question, is it possible because I've gotten stronger and now swing the club ~6 MPH faster, the weight of the club isn't right for me, even though it was perfect 6 months ago with a slower swing speed? The shaft was 55 grams to start with (R flex - low kick), and I cut 2 inches off that. How much does this generally change the weight of the shaft/head? Does it make sense that my increased club head speed has made the club too light for me, causing poor feeling and bad shots?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.
