    I'm coming from a 917 D2 playing 1/4" short 44.75". 45" was standard at the time. It has a speeder 74 X flex shaft. I have a 16 gram neutral swing weight and a Winn mid size grip.

    I just purchased a TSR 2 with a KBS TD 70 category 3 shaft at 45.5".

    I'd like to shorten the shaft to 45". (I'm 5'8") Any idea what swing weight I'd need to get a slightly lighter feeling than I have now?

    I'm guessing I'm roughly +3 grams with the old driver considering a little length was removed. So I'm guessing if I remove a half an inch I'll need +4 for the new driver?

    You would need to measure both clubs on a swingweight scale to determine starting point. It's impossible to determine swingweight simply based on specs, as head weights, shaft weights, grip and other factors all vary. In general, cutting the butt end of a shaft will decrease swing weight by 2 points, but like i said, there are many other factors.

    If I got a TSR2 head does it use the same adapter as my 917 D3?

    Answered often - all drivers since 910 series through GT share the same driver Surefit hosel.

    All fairway series from 913 through GT share the same fairway Surefit hosel.

    All hybrids from 913 to GT share the same hybrid Surefit hosel. One exception - the GT-1 hybrid has a separate hosel that matches with fairway shafts.

    The other question that comes up is there are no left/right hand shafts. LH clubs just use a separate table of hosel settings.

    There is a chart in the club section that will tell you the weight difference when shortening the shaft.
