To start off I have two drivers, a Cleveland Classic XL and a Nike Covert 1.0 performance. I currently use the Covert, I have two separate shafts with the flexloft in them a KK black in X and a KK silver in stiff. I decided the X was too much for me and I was having to change my swing for my driver to hit it and started messing up my iron game. So with that said I switched back to the silver. But I also have the Cleveland and I was actually fitted into that driver back in 2013 when it came out. I hit it the best but didn't try the Covert. I remember the guy that fitted me into it said I needed that certain shaft more than the head. It's a Miyazaki b.Asha 4s.

Now with all of that out of the way I was wondering would I be able to pull that shaft and add the flexloft to it and fit it into my Covert. Would it be worth it? Also the XL isn't adjustable so I would have to either buy the flexloft and have it put in or pull from the KK black. I intend to sell the KK black and don't know if it would hurt the resale to pull the flexloft or not. Also if I add the flexloft to the Miyazaki will it need to be trimmed down any after the addition of the flexloft adapter?

What are some of yalls thoughts on these shafts and how much would it cost me? The only places I have around here that could do it is Golfsmith, Dicks, and Edwin Watts if they do it.

KK Silver is a great shaft if paired correctly (and cheap). I play it with my Cobra ACP. It plays a little softer to flex compared to other brands. The Myazaki b Asha I m sure is a good shaft but you must swing with the head you are using before buying it. If you can't , leave it there. There's plenty of choices out there. If you were closer to me I could be doing the job for free with my Maltby extractor.

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to go to the course tomorrow morning when I get off work. I was thinking I was going to take both drivers with me and just see how I do with the Cleveland again. But I have always hit Nike drivers good. I played the 1.0 performance head last season with the KK black in the X flex. But found I was having to swing way harder it felt to get it to work. I know my SS is around 100-105, which was why I got the X with the covert. I haven't hit the silver enough to see how good it is, but have read reviews that favored it.

I'm just kicking the idea around with the Miyazaki, looked on ebay and can get that shaft for 130 with shipping but thought it would be best to research and get opinions first before I go pulling the shaft from one driver into another.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
