Question Help with tip trim?

Before I even begin, thanks to everyone who tries to help here.

I've wanted the Graphite Design Purple Ice shaft since it first came out, but couldn't justify spending the money for it. A couple of days ago, I went ahead and bought one in S flex, .350 tip.
Unfortunately, it didn't come with tip trim instructions, and I've had no experience with Graphite Design shafts in the past. From what I've been told, it's reccomended that for every 10 mph over 100 mph, I should tip trim it an additional .5", but I don't know where to start.
I'm putting it in my "spare" R580XD driver head. My driver speed (averaged over 20 swings) is 117 mph. Any reccomendations from qualified clubmakers?
Oh, and if it helps, I'm planning on finished club length being 44.5".

Thanks ETG. Found it on their website. .5" tip for driver, so with the extra 1" for speed over 100 mph, it looks like standard 3 wood trim. I'll just have to make sure the tip section is going to be long enough for this before I actually cut it. Thanks again.
