TM SLDR mini driver TP reshaft

V-Blade · September 9, 2019

Hi gang -

Thinking of reshafting my mini TP 16* that has the stock Motore TS 7.3 in R flex. Thought it would be similar to my R5 TP with Diamana blueboard in R (actually a pretty firm shaft I can still control with quick transfer). Not the biggest fan of the way the mini balances and shaft flexes with the heavy head and want to even it out. When I look at this TM chart (https://www.justshopok.com/images/stories/GolfEquipment/TaylorMade/2014-Irons/standard--custom-shafts-options-2014.pdf) 7.3 seems to be in the low 60ish gram range and I would have thought more in the mid-70s.

Looking at doing either of the following:

1. Buying a 8.3 TS in R

2. Taking a spare TM R5 TP Diamana in S I have and tipping/butt cut to mini length. I’d probably err on side of slightly less tipping just in case TM already tipped it strong. I think this would be similar to 8.3 in R.

In general, what do you think of the above?

Thank you!
