I can't see how your clubs being 1/2 inch longer would be a factor. If a 41 inch shafts weights 130 grams, that's comes to 3.17 grams per inch. Which means a club that is 1/2 inch longer is going to weigh a whole 1.585 grams more than a standard length club. I really don't believe anyone would ever notice the difference. That little ferrule at the top of the hosel will weigh about 3 grams, so 1.5 grams is nothing. What I can understand is how going to 115 gram shafts would be noticable, and could help with fatigue.

What I really dis-agree with is all this stuff about frequency meters and measuring shaft stiffness. The reason I mention this is the fact that frequency meters only measure the stiffness of the butt end of the shaft that is clamped in the meter. It doesn't measure the other 90 percent of the shaft. While it's nice to know what the butt stiffness of a shaft is, it really does'nt mean a whole lot compared to what the stiffness of the entire shaft is. A frequency meter is very handy for building a matched set of irons, when you have 10 or so clubs to build with the same model of shaft. But it does very little when it comes to measuring the stiffness of the entire shaft in a single club.
