Callaway Opti-Fit installed upside-down

[buchaneb]

I recently purchased a used shaft off eBay and noticed that the shaft graphics are facing up instead of down at address - meaning the opti-fit hosel was installed upside down or backwards. If I screwed it in backwards would the settings be all messed up? I'd rather the graphics were facing down, but I am not sure how the opti-fit settings would apply if I screwed the driver into the shaft backwards. I could always just play around with them until I found one that I like, but I would rather know for sure what setting they are on. Any ideas?

I have the idea that you are a little confused.

 

No amount of screwing is going to fix your problem.

 

You will have to pull the adapter and reinstall.

Well the lines from the clubhead to the adapter wouldn't be lined up but I could still screw it it with the adapter line 180* backwards and the graphics now pointing down, no? I haven't tried yet. Maybe it is a moot point.

With a Callaway adapter You can install the shaft with the graphics any way you like.. That little white line on the adapter is supposed to be installed straight down but it isn’t actually important. It’s just to help clarify reading the settings. The actual setting on the rings is what matters to how it plays.

 

The number or letter on the rings that you set exactly straight DOWN when the driver is set in the playing position are the settings that will effect the club head.

 

As an example: if D and +1 are facing down, you have the club in a “draw” or upright position and one degree extra loft.

 

Callaway is the best adapter on the market because the shaft label position, also meaning the adapter position, is irrelevant. With All the others I can think of, the position of the adapter sleeve in the head actually matters.

Thank you! This is the information I needed.

Sure thing.

 

For a little more info you may need in the future, the reason the sleeve position matters with the other manufacturers, is that the shaft actually sits in their sleeves at a very slight angle.

 

When you rotate the shaft and the adapter sleeve on a Titleist for example, it actually changes the angle of how the shaft exits the head. You do have a second cog to further adjust other angles, but the way the adapter is inserted is critical with all of the angled adapters.

 

I’ve always loved Callaways dual cog system because the shaft just goes straight into the sleeve. No angle. The cogs alone change the angles. It’s really one of the most ingenious modern club inventions I can think of and we really take it for granted these days.

Hi all. I have a case of this where the shaft logo and name are faced down, I don't like the complete plain shaft (projextX yellow) so would rather spin it around.

 

I can see from this chat that the shaft orientation should not make a difference, my question is just to verify which line up line dictates the final loft & lie?

 

Is it the two values when lined up with the line on the driver head, or is it the two values that are in line with the line on the shaft?

 

Hopefully not a stupid question 

 

My current setup is N & +1 if you work to the driver line up line. S & D if you work to the shaft adaptor line.

 

Thanks for any advice

How the labels on the cogs align with the head (not the shaft) is what matters.  So you're at +1 N based on those pictures.

Does the spine of the shell change if the logo is up or underneath with a Callaway adapter

Sorry, no idea what you're asking.   What spine of what shell?

 

As mentioned before, the shaft orientation (logo up or down) has no effect on the adapter or it's settings.
