T-flex blade+L-2= good or bad?

[lesterhenson 0]

Do t-flex blades fit L-2's? I was just wondering because I had just purchased a pair intended for my L-2. If they dont will they fit a normal shaft?

It'll fit, however it'll be super-long - short-hoseled tapered shafts are made longer to compensate for the hosel.

Oh ok, that being said, how would you go about cutting down a shaft?

[Eazy_b97 1]

put it in a vice, get a saw, go at'er. Cut from the handle, so you keep the taper.

um, i personally wouldnt reccomend using a t-flex blade unless all you do to shorten the shaft is remove the butt-end. t-flex blades arent too easy to obtain right now, and if you cut your shaft, your going to be stuck with a short shaft when you go back to using regular short-hosel tapered blades. so make sure you consider that first...

17 cm or 6 3/4 inches from the heel to the beginning of the tenon on mine.

For comparison, my Bauer 7500 tapered blade is 10 cm or 4 inches.
