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.

    • I played in a scramble that got rained out. The day was forecast for rain and my 3 partners bailed. I went anyway as I took the day off and did not feel like going to work. Not sure how many groups showed up, but I was assured that I could hit all four shots if I wanted. Long story short: I played 13 holes and was nine under with a couple holes at the end where I was having trouble hanging on to the club due to the rain. If I hit a drive that I deemed acceptable I did not hit another. I probably only took 3 or 4 mulligan tee shots on par 4 and 5 holes. Approach shots I probably hit at least two sometimes 3. I don't recall missing a GIR. Once on the putting surface is where I shined with 4 attempts. I was amazed at how successful I was on these long putts when I had 4 balls sitting there and then hit them in quick succession. One would go high, then one a little low and then the third or fourth would often drop. I "won" the event and got some nice prizes. I was a bit embarrassed by it all.
