Shaft Tips/adapters

[Eseay32]

Please correct me if I’m wrong but it is my understanding with today’s drivers that are all adjustable, that each manufacturer has a special adapter/tip so they fit correctly in their own driver?
 
So im to assume I can’t just go buy a shaft and put it in so how does this work?
 
If I want to buy a driver shaft myself after a fitting per se, do I have to buy it from the manufacturer? Assuming the tip isn’t removable from the stock shaft.
 
Am I crazy?

You can get the adapters separately from the shafts.   The adapters can be OEM or aftermarket.   The OEM adapters are often pulled from other shafts and resold.  The aftermarket are generally good quality and can be found on ebay or through places like golfworks.   If you buy a club with a shaft,  you can even get it pulled to put on another shaft.   

the adapter is epoxied to the shaft just like you would epoxy the shaft into a clubhead without an adapter.

just thought of this,  another option is a place like Dallas Golf that sells shafts and adapters separately and will put the requested tip on the shaft you buy.

More great info! I’m going to go through a shaft fitting soon so trying to make sure I know what’s happening if I didn’t purchase through the fitter
