Can a shaft be pulled from a driver and be used on a 5 wood?

I have this deal on ebay where i can save some money on the shaft. I have a nike sq 5 wood head and found this nice shaft off of a callaway driver on ebay. I do not know if this can be done. Any input is appreciated.

Beware the shafts on Callaways. Unless you're sure it's aftermarket, it may be really soft. Often they will have a stock shaft they call project x or Diamana, but it won't be the same specs as the real thing.

As far as using the shaft, you can use it on a shorter club. Just make sure you tip trim it if it needs it; some shafts have parallel tips like irons, others have little or no trimming and you just cut the butt to length. Be careful though with swingweight and balancing, since you're probably cutting a shaft that started as 46-47" to about 42-24.5". Most driver shafts will work in woods too though.

Make sure the tip is the same - .335 vs. .350

Go to the shaft manufacturer's website and look at the tipping instructions.
