Driver loft/adapter query

[bigyin55]

I bought a Mizuno STG driver which came with a Kurokage S flex shaft which wasn't the original shaft for that club. The driver head is 9° standard but the shaft doesn't match up as the settings are at 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, 11.5, 8.5u, 9.5u and 10.5u.

I may be missing the obvious but how do I know when the head is at 9° standard? Cheers for any help.

Infact I may have figured it out the 9.5 is the middle setting so that's essentially the 9° setting I think.

That doesn't look, like the current Mizuno loft sleeve......
I have the STZ 230 and it looks nothing like that.

It's the STG 220 so a few years old I think

It's an older design used on the 850/900 drivers.
Compatible with the newer heads, they just label them differently.
Standard lie on the STG is 56.5
Standard on the 900 is 58.5
The increments of change seem to be the same...
jpn.mizuno.com/golf/wood_sleeve might be worth a look

Just make sure it’s not a left handed shaft.
On these the lofts are reversed.
So when you think your adding loft your actually taking it off.
