The Aerotech SteelFiber i110 CW (“Constant Weight”) iron shafts are taper tip shafts with a .355″ tip diameter, specifically designed for consistent weight across all irons in the set while maintaining the feel and trajectory of heavier steel shafts. Proper tip trimming is critical to optimize flex, trajectory, spin, and overall club performance.

Key Considerations for Tip Trimming i110 CW

Taper Tip Nature

These shafts are taper tip, meaning the tip naturally narrows toward the clubhead.

Only butt trimming is typically allowed, and tip trimming is minimal and only to fine-tuned characteristics, never exceeding the depth of the parallel tip portion in the hosel.

Constant Weight Factor

Each CW shaft in a set is factory balanced to the same weight; trimming the tip slightly will affect stiffness without significantly altering the total weight balance, unlike standard shafts.

Recommended Tip Trim

For Aerotech taper tip iron shafts, general guideline: trim up to 1.5 inches for standard irons (e.g., 2–P/W) if absolute custom stiffness adjustment is require.

The i110 CW can be tip trimmed within .0–.25″ increments for trajectory fine-tuning particularly in stronger hands, without compromising the weight effect.

Tools & Procedure

Tools Needed: Precision hacksaw or rotary shaft cutter, measuring tape, marker, shaft vise or clamp, fine sandpaper/deburring tool.

Procedure:

Secure the shaft vertically in a clamp or vise.

Measure and mark desired tip trim length from the tip.

Cut carefully along the line; maintain straightness to avoid flex inconsistencies.

Use sandpaper to smooth and deburr the edge.

Test fit in the hosel to ensure proper seating and alignment.

Follow up with butt trimming to achieve final playing length if needed.

Effects of Tip Trimming

Shortening the tip increases the stiffness at the tip section, which lowers the launch angle and reduces spin rate.

Minimal changes are recommended—over-trimming may render the tip section too rigid and adversely affect feel and dispersion consistency.

Professional Fitting Recommendation

The i110 CW is designed for enhanced tour-level performance.

For maximum precision, a professional fitting can confirm exact tip trim needed based on swing speed, ball flight preferences, and trajectory objectives.
