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

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.

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?

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.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
