Adjustable driver - a silly question.

[backwoodsman]

I have just bought my first adjustable driver (Callaway XR) so am new to the concept and know nothing on the technical side about clubs. So forgive me if this is daft question.

If you undo the locking nut 'all the way' will the head and the shaft come apart? I assume so as presumably that how you'd change a shaft if you wanted. But the main question is - if they did come apart, is there any difficulty in putting them back together in the exact same alignment as they were beforehand. (And I don't mean in terms of the adjustable bit - just the general shaft alignment). I suppose I'm asking if the shaft fits in only one exact way?

Ta.

In my experience no, they usually come with a booklet that tells you how to align the various settings for what you want. It usual, with the clubs I've had, not to need to fully remove the head to set up the club

Yes they come apart and go back exactly as you want. The adapter has little ridges.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you don't cross the tread. It should go in without much resistance until it becomes tight then you should hear and feel the wrench click thats when you might feel you are using a bit more force. But the screw should not give you any resistance up to this point if it does loosen it off and try again. I have the same driver.

The screw should be captive in the head (Titleist are) so shouldn't become detached. However, if you do undo the screw fully, make sure that you keep a firm hold of the head to prevent it from falling off the shaft. Specially if you are on a hard concrete floor such as your garage.

Ta all. The adjustability bit looks all easy enough - little interlocking castle'y things - and there is a tiny leaflet that tells you what to do. It was if I inadvertently separated the head off the shaft, I was worried it might be diifficult get get it all lined up properly. But if the screw is captive, then that worry isn't there. Anyhoo, I ain't going to fiddle. Yet.
