Hi,
I got a good deal:

I bought a FT5 with Matrix Ozik X-Con 6 Shaft.
The driver is from a optifit system. So the seller tells me, I could easily exchange shafts.
So I got another shaft (Bassara 63) for cheap.

The thing is I dont know how to unscrew the shafts from the driver head without the proper tool.
The ferrule looks a bit like the I-Mix system, having ripples and all. But the I Mix wrench does not fit.

So can anyone give me a hint what tool I can use to unscrew the shaft?

Thanks!

Ok, just for the archives:

I figured it out.
You only need a torx T25 screwdriver or wrench. (standard 3$ tool)

If you loosen the screw from the underside of the driver head, the optifit shaft can be removed.

No problems at all. Very sturdy system.

Stupid thing is, the stuff is hard to get by now. I think there are only BB 460, Hyper X, and FT5 heads available.

i went ahead and bought a v2 shaft and ft-5 10d head, was a bit worried whether it would feel different or create a different bias with the head having the hole on the sole and shaft tip being so different.

the seller on ebay had a few other shafts and heads available. does callaway approve of someone selling off the opti fit system?

hasnt arrived yet but looking forward to it, relieved to know you had no problems

I think these guys are selling away their fitting carts.

I asked a Callaway rep during a demo day, because I wanted to know if they can change the optifit to a I-Mix tip, and the guy said the optifit was not meant to be sold.

I am also looking for a FT5 10 or 10.5.
Could you send me a private message with the dealer?
