This guy! I found a good deal on Rifle flighted project X shafts off ebay last week. They arrived today. .370 tip and in my haste to get them installed, I read the wrong tip trim instructions. I read instructions for installing the .370 into a PW, cut 4.25" off the tip. I DIDN'T read the instructions for installing the wedge specific shaft into a wedge head, which I assume now to be butt trim to length only....

Imagine what happened when I trimmed 4.25" off a 37.5' shaft? Doesnt fit into the hosel and even if it did it would be way to short....

I AM A FREAKING CARELESS IDIOT!!!!

I need warmer weather, this cold is starting to affect my judgement.

Jim, that blows! Did you tip trim all of the shafts or just the wedge shaft?

Shyte! Can you put them in a putter so they're not just javelins???
Lol! That's a good idea! Of course I just sent my extra putter to you and my gamer is being stripped-kind of-at the moment.

Down here they're antennas for cars. Put a little mascot on one end and put them back on ebay.
