So I just picked up a R11 from a guy I golfed with, he doesnt like it for some reason. The shaft on it is a Stiff but its not stiff enough for me. A buddy of mine has a R9 with a Xstiff shaft and he wants to trade shafts. What will this do to the club accuracy? Can it even be done?

Thanks

Yes, it's as simple as popping the shaft out of the R9 and putting into the R11 and tightening it up.  The R9/R11 hosels look a little different are labeled differently but the tips/shafts are interchangeable.

I've got my R9 shaft in my R11 right now.

I think the way the Tip notations transfer for a righty

R9 - R11

N - N

L - +1 degree higher

R - -1 degree lower

NU - NU

What Hokie said. I've got an R11 but have often used the shaft from my R9 with the R9 tip.

Yup, what they all said is correct.  The two tips are interchangeable.  They look a little different but all work.  And for the X-stiff vs. stiff if truly you need x-stiff, it should help with dispersion during your shots.  Good luck and enjoy the new shaft!

i bought an r11 9* it came today with a stock shaft and a ripXstiff adlia r9 shaft. I set the r9 shaft FCT at N using the arrow on the back of the r11 hosel and the sole plate at N. I hit some balls with the heavier wt in the back then switched the wt to the front. The driver performed as good as I could of ever imagined. I'm i setting the FCTcorrectly ? i think the N setting is for 9*?

Thanks

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.
