So in today's video, I'm going to take what is a standard 44.5 inch driver shaft out of this drive ahead and replace it with what came in a seven wood, which is 42 inch shaft. Yeah, that's 3.5 inches shorter than standard. And what I want to know is, do I get greater control, first of all, and then from dry ball data, what am I going to lose if I was to make that decision? Because in my opinion, lots of us would benefit from that greater control on the shorter shaft and the obsession with longer shafts from driver manufacturers has gone a little bit too far. Like I said, almost 45 now has become standard. That's a difficult club head to control for most average golfers. So what happens today when I swap that out and go 3.5 inches shorter? The second hole here at Cardin Park is a typical example of where I would be reaching right now for the likes of a seven wood, perhaps a hybrid, the kind of club that's got that shorter shaft and that greater control because this is very, very tight to weave it through those two trees. But what if I've got a 42 inch shaft that the same as the seven wood, which would be the option on this hole, but I've got a driver head on the end of it with just 10 degrees worth of loft. Does that mean that I've still got the control and the confidence in terms of accuracy, but am I going to gain possibly another 20 or 30 yards off this tee shot? I don't want me to find out to suppose. I love the control elements. I can't believe how it feels to have this driver head just so close to me. And you know what? That's gone for miles further than what I would have played in terms of it's had a little bit out to the right to be honest with you. But miles further than what I would ever have achieved with seven wood in hand or hybrid and much further down there in terms of close to that hole. So there's a real argument to suggest already just two holes in that there's, I don't know, there's potential in this idea. Also, the interesting thing is, is just how far I've come in terms of close to the pin. This hole played 285 off the tee box today. I've probably got no more than sort of 50 yards left into this flag and arguably a little bit less than this. Certainly be taking a different line than the one I did off the tee just then. And when I'm normally playing well probably around 100 in with a full wedge. I've just got a bit of a flick left in onto this par 4. Sit down. It's a far different game when you've got short clubbing and then yes we found the roof. We didn't get that fair way but we're so far down here. I would never think a playing driver off that tee because I just simply do not have the confidence in the control elements. And when I have tried it ultimately I end up right or left. And very rarely see the benefits of taking the risk of that long club out the bag. With this idea it's a whole different option. Some of you might no doubt comment that well why not just use a 3 wood let's say with that short as shaft. If it's greater control you're after and I agree with that to be honest with you. But what I will also say is in general terms you'll be playing a 3 wood at sort of 15 degrees loft. Maybe a bit stronger than that in places. But very rarely will you're certainly not going to be playing 9 or 10 degrees worth of loft. So the opportunity to play that shorter shaft with greater control and still get considerably longer than your 3 wood or potentially longer than your 3 wood. I think that's the reason why you choose to play a 42 in shaft with a 9 or 10 degree drive ahead on it. So far all we've talked about is control which is ultimately what this video is about. But what I want to know is out here in reality on the fourth hole here at Cardin Park what am I going to lose in terms of distance. I played this hole last week in every single shot video I know exactly where I came up. It's a par 5, 511 yards, fairly wide fairway. It's one that you're going to open the shoulders and certainly look to go all out in terms of driver. So is this now a mistake in not having that longer shaft in hand? So what I'm looking for first of all is well can I find a fairway? Because actually I didn't last week but then secondly how much am I giving up in terms of distance? Well we've certainly found the fairway. It's a real good strike just leaking a bit down the right. And again it just might find that first cut. So the interesting thing is I'm going to get last week's video up because I think that is very very similar. It's almost identical to where I landed last week. So we have three drives in. Do you tell me what you're thinking so far? Interestingly enough I've not found a fairway. I've hit the first cut a rough on the three drives that I've hit. So the control element well that's debatable. But I will say that in terms of confidence at address is huge. Hugey different I mean by that. I certainly don't feel like when driver is in hand you know there's a potential for that sort of waywardness it feels a lot more like I said the confidence that a hybrid or a fairway would offer with that increased length because there's no doubt about it with that third drive of the day hit. I'm fairly confident you know that it's very similar to where I landed last week. And if we're losing any yardage it's not a lot you know. Now in all seriousness well we've missed the fairway by a couple of yards. That's where the balls come to rest. It's not the best of lies either. I think we were perhaps another 15 yards further up you know last week. At best I played a hybrid from exactly the same position and talked about missing the fairway bunkers next up. So we've lost very little in terms of in terms of distance but I don't suppose we've gained a great deal in terms of control because I'm in the same place. And hybrids make the game so much easier when you're playing from that kind of lie. That's another constant message on this channel. Right so we'll finish this video with a bit of dry ball data which I collected earlier on today. And as you can see there's not a huge amount in terms of what you lose. The ball spins quite a bit more. It launches higher which I think is a positive. Carry distance is impacted on but that's arguably again down to the sort of that spin number and that launch as well. There's also the idea that potentially I'm hitting the centre of the club face just that little bit more often with that shorter shaft in hand and therefore getting more of a benefit in terms of ball speeds because again there's not huge drop offs. So I'm going to leave it there you know because I think always on this channel we're trying to pose questions questions that potentially help average golfers. And I think if you're struggling with driver one of the first things you need to do is you need to shorten the shaft because control is key without shadow of a doubt. Whether that just means that you find the centre of the club face a little bit more that in itself is a bonus. But ask yourself this question what have you got more confidence in at address playing a shorter club like a hybrid or playing the longest shaft of a driver? And the answer to your question well if it's the hybrid that's a lot to do with control and therefore that shorter shaft option it's just logical isn't it? My message is to manufacturers why not give some more options to average golfers to play a lot shorter shaft even if just a lot more availability of a 43 inch shaft then I think that's a big deal for people to try when they get custom fit and notice the potential benefits. But as ever we constantly chase yardage as being the key factor and I'm not sure that should be the case. Anyway I'm done I'm going to we've got a wedge into this green we've played it fairly well we've got plenty of control see if we can make birdie to finish. Oh solid par though.
