DStar Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Following on from my other shaft post.... Can you fit a RH shaft & adapter in a LH head? Cobra F6+ if it makes a difference..

russtopherb Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Possibly, with lofts reversed. My friend had an R1 with a LH adapter, he just had to go the opposite direction of what the adapter said. tdroma98, DStar, tony@CIC and 1 other 4 Quote In my carry bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai/li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h Launcher CBX 6i-PW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact CURRENTLY TESTING - Mizuno Long Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_APH Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Just as @russtopherb said the lofts will be reversed. But also the draw setting will be a fade setting. I've used it in my LH head before to give a more fade bias driver. tdroma98, DStar, tony@CIC and 1 other 4 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

GolfSpy_APH Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Other option is you can take the shafts into a shop and ask them to swap over adaptors if you really wanted to as well.

Most driver sleeves make the club upright but opposite like this will make it flatter.

IONEPUTT Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Seems that everyone here agrees that you could demo a RH shaft in your LH driver and it will work, just have the setting reversed. Needless to say the neutral setting would NOT change. So go give a few shafts a try and see what works best for YOU, as that is what really matters.

TvGuyJake Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Not sure if the lofts actually change; but you are just opening and closing the face of the driver. Edited October 27, 2021 by TvGuyJake DStar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't often change the setting cause I don't want a draw biased driver, but this has peaked my interest and I just happen to be playing a RH adapter in my LH club.

MrRAOtt Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Yes, I am LH and used a RH adapter in my Cobra and took it to the local shop and the measured it and it is just the opposite side of the circle works.

So basically it's opposite day? +1 is -1. Draw is fade. Bogeys are really birdies. JeremyD, tony@CIC and DStar 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clafoone Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 reversed as mentioned above. doesn't really matter, go through all the adjustments to get the best ball flight and distance you desire. who cares if it's +1/-1 or draw/neutral or fade.

MDGolfHacker Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Interesting, I knew the lofts were mirrored but thought the draw would also be mirrored and would still be a draw setting.

Actually it is the opposite. The loft (face angle) in relation to the shaft can be changed however the sole won't be quite flat on the ground when the shaft is absolutely straight (not hands forward nor back at address). However, the face angle (draw/fade) cannot be changed. It is the relationship of the sole to the face angle when the sole is flat on the ground. The lie angle can be changed. In other words, when the shaft is straight (hands not forward nor back at address) it will be more vertical (more upright) when the head is in the 'draw' setting or less vertical (flatter) than neutral when in the fade setting. A more upright setting will promote a draw and vice versa, but you are not really changing the draw/fade-open/closed face angle. By the way, if your driver and/or fairways have changable weights in the heel/toe or front/back you can adjust how fast thye face will close near impact. Weight more towards the toe or more towards the face will keep the face open longer to prevent hooks. Weight more towards the heel or more towards the back of the head will close the face faster to prevent slices.

I believe the discussion was about loft changes. When changing the loft on an adjustable adapter, you are also effectively opening/closing the face. From what I have read, the whole concept works as long as you sole the driver, but if you never sole the driver, you may not be making a change.

You do not have to sole the club to see the results of changing the loft setting of a driver using the adapter adjustments. I "Never" sole my driver and I can see the difference when I change the loft setting of a driver. I've done it when I demo a new club and want to see what loft with that driver works best. I can see the difference on the Trackman readings very clearly. Try it if you don't believe it. NO need to sole the club at all. As for "What" you can change with the adjustments it depends on the design of the driver adapter. The Pins is designed to change the loft, some other might change the face angle. Some change lie up or down. Read the settings on YOUR adapter and go from there.

You don't have to sole the club but but holding the club above the ground you have to be careful about what you are doing since players tend to adjust the club to a preferred look when hovering the club. The key to an adjustable hosel is that you have to play with the shaft in the same position and the face pointed directly at the target after the adjustment.
