Hi, 

I suspect I can guess the answer to this, but I'm struggling to find out whether the shaft I have for my Callaway X2 Hot driver would be interchangeable with other heads. I got fitted for the Project X Black shaft a while back, but the fitter suggested the head wouldn't make much difference until I got the spin down. It's getting there, but before I go back to the fitter, I'd want to have done some research of my own into what I like and don't like. My guess would be that it'll fit other Callaway heads due to the Optifit system, but no other brand's stuff. If anyone knows for sure, it'd be appreciated!

Thanks,

Ben

Sorry to hi jack this topic but was just what i was trying to research. 

I've got a cobra amp cell with a stiff shaft. Following on from a few lessons earlier this year, i can hit my irons and 3 wood which are all stiff shafts pretty well with, on the whole, a tight draw.

However i now can't use my driver at all. My normal swing seems to result in a high miss right. Like straight right. Or if i try and tinker with the swing speed, it'll could result in a bad hook. 

A guy at the golf course who plays off a low handicap suggested it could be that the shaft is too flexible. And it definitely does seem much more flexible than my 3 wood. 

He hit 2 shots with my driver and they went exactly like my shots. High right, and short.

He then let me hit a shot with his titleist 915 and i hit the best drive I've hit in a long time. 

Is it worth looking into changing the shaft on its own or is it better to wait until i can afford to change the whole lot? 

I can hit my 3 wood longer than my driver at the minute so it's basically wasting space in my bag!!

Thanks a lot for your time

Your current adapter will not fit other brands. There is a universal adapter out that you could change the shaft to and be able to use it on any of the top drivers.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
