RH716 11 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Some background info - I've been trying to buy a new Taylormade M4 driver. I have been gaming the same R1 Black driver for over 6 years now and it's time for an upgrade. Been waiting for the deals on the M4, but now it's almost impossible to find one in 10.5 deg with a stiff shaft. I can however buy the 10.5 with a senior shaft. My question is, would it be fine to just pick up a shaft of my choice and switch out the senior flex shaft with no negative effects? Are the clubheads setup for certain shafts? I don't think they are, but I also don't want to find out the hard way. 1 Quote No matter where you go, there you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngold_blood 6,886 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 You will be fine switching out the shafts. The club head is the same whether the shaft is senior flex or x-stiff flex. The only differences between a stock m4 10.5* club with a senior flex shaft and a stock m4 10.5* club with an x-stiff flex shaft is manufacturing tolerances. I actually have found that when looking for a new driver, deals can be had by looking at the weaker flex shafts and changing them out.

RH716 11 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Thanks. That's what I thought, but would hate to find out I was wrong after spending the $$. This way I can get the right shaft for me. 2 Quote No matter where you go, there you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RI_Redneck 136 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Yeah, with the adjustable hosels, you can change shafts easily. I've been doing just this for years now. BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
