Callaway BB C4 400 tip shaft??

[SJFP]

looking for a shaft for this "thing"

I just had a look at the list from golfworks OEM shaft replacements. It lists the Callaway Big Bertha C4 as a driver with a 400" tip diameter and as a substitute the "Grafalloy Pro Launch Blue 55 (W/SADW)".

First problem: a 400" tip diam shaft, where to find one? Even the Grafalloy shaft isn't available in that diameter. The previous owner snapped the installed shaft twice, but i have no idea what shaft it was. It was snapped an inch above the head.
Second problem: what does "W/SADW" stand for?

Also, i've never reshafted cally's, does anyone have a good source for their ferrules?`


Thanks for the input guys!

The w/sadw part is the solution to all of your problems here. #SADW Is a part number from the golfworks catalog for a Bushing Ferrule Adapter. It makes it so you can fit a normal sized shaft into a large hosel. Then you just install a shaft as you normally would. It takes care of the ferrule part as well. Check it out http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_SADW.

HA! Thank you very much sir!

I was expecting it to be something like that.

 

How reliable are these things? The shaft he played snapped twice, so my first thought is that a regular 350 tip is maybe too weak to take on this head? I'll put it on a scale tomorrow.

But i guess this is the only solution. I'll give it a try, we'll see how it turns out.
