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! :-)

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
