Driver Shaft Interchangeable?

[Keysbear152]

I just bought a Cobra F9 Speedback driver with a senior shaft. I wasn't fitted (mistake I know but it was on sale at a great price) and I'm not sure after one round if the senior shaft is appropriate for me. My old driver is a Cobra Fly-Z. in regular flex. Are the shafts interchangeable so I can try the regular flex in the F9? I plan to take it in and get it fitted as soon as the this pandemic ends and golf shops are open again but just curious to try it in the meantime.

Pretty sure they are.  I used the same adapter from a Cobra Biocell in an F9.

If you have the wrench you can try it yourself

Thanks...I'll give it a try.

One question though. (i'm really a novice at this). The loft of my F9 is 12 with +/- 1.5 so it goes 10.5 to 13.5 while the Fly will go from 9 to 12 in .5 degree increments

with some draw settings. Will the loft settings on the Fly z adapter mean the same on the F9 head?

I think the F8 and before actually have lofts written on the adapter so no, you will have to add 1.5 to that number for the F9 since it's lofted 1.5 higher. The F9 and newer have the loft printed on the head and the adapter says something like "higher" or "lower" I think.

[Keysbear152]

That is correct. The Fly Z has the numbers and the F9 has + or - 1 or 1.5.    I'm just trying to figure out what setting for the adapter on the FLY-Z shaft would make the loft on the F9  be 11 degrees. Would the loft number on the adapter be the same for every head or is there a calculation to do? 

Oops..I think you answered my question but I read through it too fast and missed it. So, if I want to use the FLY-Z shaft to get 11 degrees loft on the F9 I need to set it at 9.5 since the F9 is lofted 1.5 degrees higher?  Would the draw setting factor in?

[Adam C]

Yes, 9.5 would play 11 on the F9 head. You are down lofting so you are actually going to be opening the face, not closing it.

Thanks for your help with this.

I have a cobra biocell driver but the teeth on the adapter are bigger than my SZ driver and therefore I can't swap shafts although it says they are compatible

That's ok, simple fix.  All you need is an adaptor for that particular head.  you can use whatever shaft you want.  Most quality club fitters/builders will an ample supply of various adapters.  If not, you can always order one (fairly inexpensive) and take it to the builder to have then install it on the shaft you want installed.
