TIPPING RIFLE SHAFTS ???????????

SHOTSHAPERS

Hello

came across a set of these lately, real real cheap, was drawn to the rifle shafts (4.5 flited lite) and they were a bit whippy for me, so i took off the heads and took 0.5 inch from the tips, man oh man they are some beasts.........3 and 4 iron are rippers and dispersion is 15 yards at most and shorter irons fly straight and true, no allowing for the wind (it doesnt touch um, im in Ireland) play to a 3 handicap.

now taking 0.5 inch from the tips (what flex would they be now ?????) 5.5 and of course a loss of a little distance due to the shorter club,

so in your opinion is this down to the shafts (as have played mizuno blades before and loved them but nothing like this before)

if so i would consider buying flited lites 5.5 and get my 0.5 inch back

any and all comments are welcomed

regards

Are they Mizuno irons you bought?
Mizuno blades and tour cavities tend to be taper tipped, as oppossed to parallel.
so if you tipped them, are they seated properly?

Mactec 685 forged irons flited lite rifle 4.5 and yes they sit perfectly......if i removed grips and added .5 inch extension, this in essence is returning to 4.5, am i right in saying that

Ok....so they are parrallel.
tipping by .5 would make them play like a 5.0.
