[Paddlewise] Paddle Shafts

I have a fiberglass Swift I would like to cut down. How did you do it?
Did you remove the blades? If so, how?

While we're discussing shafts what are the pros and cons of Graphite Vs   FG.
I've cut my Carbon Swift down to the length of my FG Lendal. I seem to
suffer little or no elbow or shoulder pain with the Lendal, but some with
the Swift.

Is it psychosomatic or is there really any benefit of the fiberglass   shaft?
