This is going to probably come across as a stupid question but that has never stopped me before so here goes.

Today I took the Kuro Kage Black 60 gram shaft with the FlexLoft adapter for the driver, (8.5 - 12.5) out of my Nike Covert and switched it with my Kuro Kage Silver 70 gram shaft with the FlexLoft adapter for the 3 wood, (13 - 17)...., and I was very surprised how well I hit the ball.

My question is this..., Does this switch actually allow my driver to be adjusted from 13 - 17 degrees? If so I could barely tell a difference in the height of my ball flight but the trajectory was much more of a boring/penatrating flight which my puny brain attributed to the difference in the stiffness and swing weight.

Has anyone else here ever attempted this and if so..., what were the results?

Thanks for any and all responses....., God Bless!!!! Ray

The sleeve just lets you change plus or minus 2 degrees from the base loft of the club. It should let you get the same range of lofts regardless of whether the shaft is in a 3 wood or driver, but not set the driver to 3w loft or vice versa.

The clubhead itself has a loft in the middle of the adjustable range as indicated by the driver adapter (10.5* in this case) and that loft will stay the same with the 3-wood adapter. The only thing that changes is the number on the adapter, where the 13* option is really 8.5* and the 17* option is really 12.5*.

It's not at all stupid if you learned something by asking it! :-)

    • I don't know what to tell you. You can't test wedges with range balls, and you have a LOT more info to gather before you can begin to really even test anything else, either.
    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
