Rebalance a driver after cutting the shaft down

Sam's driver shaft had been cut down a little, but no weight was added back into the head, so the swing weight dropped to C3. The instructor notes that a short club plus a counterbalance shaft makes the club very light, and that there is a reason the swing weight system exists: understanding the consequences of the club's balance so it still performs to its potential and gives maximum consistency.
