To start off I have two drivers, a Cleveland Classic XL and a Nike Covert 1.0 performance. I currently use the Covert, I have two separate shafts with the flexloft in them a KK black in X and a KK silver in stiff. I decided the X was too much for me and I was having to change my swing for my driver to hit it and started messing up my iron game. So with that said I switched back to the silver. But I also have the Cleveland and I was actually fitted into that driver back in 2013 when it came out. I hit it the best but didn't try the Covert. I remember the guy that fitted me into it said I needed that certain shaft more than the head. It's a Miyazaki b.Asha 4s.

Now with all of that out of the way I was wondering would I be able to pull that shaft and add the flexloft to it and fit it into my Covert. Would it be worth it? Also the XL isn't adjustable so I would have to either buy the flexloft and have it put in or pull from the KK black. I intend to sell the KK black and don't know if it would hurt the resale to pull the flexloft or not. Also if I add the flexloft to the Miyazaki will it need to be trimmed down any after the addition of the flexloft adapter?

What are some of yalls thoughts on these shafts and how much would it cost me? The only places I have around here that could do it is Golfsmith, Dicks, and Edwin Watts if they do it.

KK Silver is a great shaft if paired correctly (and cheap). I play it with my Cobra ACP. It plays a little softer to flex compared to other brands. The Myazaki b Asha I m sure is a good shaft but you must swing with the head you are using before buying it. If you can't , leave it there. There's plenty of choices out there. If you were closer to me I could be doing the job for free with my Maltby extractor.

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to go to the course tomorrow morning when I get off work. I was thinking I was going to take both drivers with me and just see how I do with the Cleveland again. But I have always hit Nike drivers good. I played the 1.0 performance head last season with the KK black in the X flex. But found I was having to swing way harder it felt to get it to work. I know my SS is around 100-105, which was why I got the X with the covert. I haven't hit the silver enough to see how good it is, but have read reviews that favored it.

I'm just kicking the idea around with the Miyazaki, looked on ebay and can get that shaft for 130 with shipping but thought it would be best to research and get opinions first before I go pulling the shaft from one driver into another.

    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
    • Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.  
    • 44+39 for an 83. Figuring stuff out. 
    • Day 288 - putted on my mat for a while listening to a presentation. Checking my head movement in the mirror, then just focusing on a good stroke.
