The assumption that a shorter driver is automatically straighter is a myth; length changes your swing delivery, and for many, the standard 45-46" length optimizes launch and accuracy.
Their scorecard
Distance: 5/5 — 4 mph gain in ball speed
Looks at address: 5/5 — Feels like a 3-wood
What they rate
Longer shaft increases speed and improves angle of attack
Shorter shaft increases address confidence for some players
Titleist GT3 head maintains efficiency across both lengths
What they don’t
Shortening a driver reduces swing weight and requires head weight adjustment
A 44-inch driver may require more loft to prevent 'thin' low-launch flights
