Daryl,
The last time I checked, there are no "shaft police" looking at everyone's shaft.
The static check is just the beginning step in determining the proper length. If this shaft is to be used in your irons make sure he does a dynamic check.
If it is for your woods the extra length in the shaft will mean just a few yards if you are straight but it could mean a lot longer walh into the woods when you are off. As you lengthen the shaft your accuracy will go to pot a lot faster than the extra length you will gain.
If you have been hitting that length shaft for thirty years and do not have a distance problem why change it?

He said: "It's easier to reduce the length than to add length to the shaft."
I re-visit him Thursday to test and set the lie angles. I'll see.
