Couldn't find the butt diameters on the '07,'08 and 2.0 TM stock shafts.Any help would be
welcomed.Also I see that the cleveland sl290 drivers the butt end is .650. Is that right? And normal?
Thanks

Your title doesn't describe the question. You might "get some (more) help" if it did.

Normal or what ever that might be is 0.595 to 0.605

Cleveland's big thing is light weight drivers. If they use a larger butt shaft, then the grip can have less rubber, thus it's lighter.
