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.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
