I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS THIS MORNING RYAN IS THE REAL DEAL

My lefty driver came with rings without underlines. Under the lower ring is a W with an underline. Are all the adjustments opposite? Can I look at the other side of the hosel for correct codes?

I’m left handed and I was gonna pull a right-handed adapter from my shaft and install a left-handed one. This save me a lot of time. Thank you very much for the neat trick!

Hi Ryan I just found this video & it’s awesome. You answered my question. Does that mean that it also opens the face as well? Thank you for the video.

Brilliant!!!! Thanks Boss, I'll be a mid launch menace now with 8.5 triple diamond!

Awesome! So if you change both rings can you get a 7 degree fade setting?

wearing a visor inside is an aggressive strategy. that being said, i fuckin love it

What would it effectively do to the loft and lie if you were to line up the bottom cog at +1 top cog at D but when you put the head of the club on you align that tick mark with the top cog at -1 and bottom cog at D It will go on and mesh. I don't have the equipment to measure loft and lie. But to my eye at address, it appears to have decreased loft with little flatter lie. Is that possible?

Very clever!

I currently have a Epic Driver, if I buy the Mavrik can I just replace the driver head and keep my old shaft? Will I need an adapter?

hi. Curious if I have a right handed tipped shaft and put my left handed cogs on it will it essentially make it a standard left hand tip??? so just change the cogs and not the entire tip. hope you can help

Can you also change the lie? From what I've read the (D)= draw setting adds 2°upright... However i wish i could change it to add 1° upright lie. Is that possible?? What happens if you flip the cogs upside down?

quick question i have a -2 adaptor. can i do the same method you just used to simply put it on my adaptor that has the minus one

I have a tour is green dot adapter +1 -2. Can I just swap out the cogs ring or does the tip also make a difference? I have a shaft for it but it’s a high launch shaft and I want to turn my epic flash from 10.5 to 8.5

Does it matter if you line up the dash or the W with your settings? I want the golf logo on the shaft on top. In order to do that I have to use the W setting on the adapter. Does this matter?

Great tip...

If I put a left hand adapter on my 5 wood shaft will my 5 now adjust down to 16degree. I have Callaway flash 5 wood.

Looks like the tour issue -2 deg sleeves are also available online. Can I just remove those cogs and replace the stock cogs on my Callaway?

Are the cogs different or the entire adapter and cogs. I just bought a shaft and it has turned up with a left handed adapter. Just wondering if switching the cogs from each shaft will effectively mean my old shaft is left handed and my new one right.

Could you show how open the face is when looking down if you have it lofted down 2 degrees?

Thanks for sharing, I was just asking Titleist about this today. I presume this is a Callaway hack only.

Titleist use the same tip for both RH and LH..its just the settings that change..

Would a left handed sleeve work on a right handed driver head to deloft it? I have a right handed epic flash sub zero driver. Thanks

Ryan can you buy the correct adaptor for the callaway shaft to fit the crank head ?

I Ryan, does it also invert the D/N settings?

Hello. If I changed both rings would that change shaft to left handed.

How do I take the head off the shaft for fairway wood? Just use a wrench?

Great info! I had heard about doing this but my mind was thinking “change the whole adapter” and not just the cogs. This is a great way to take my Epic Superhybrid 18° and get it turned down to 16°!

can that work opposite? like to add more loft to a hybrid

Very cool 😎

Ive talked about it on my podcast through GolfWRX Radio - called "On Spec" its a difficult subject to tackle but for me personally I just install shafts logo down.

Noob question, i bought a epic flash star driver, and i changed the grips, looks like they put some kind of chemic problly to remove, i don't know, thing is... 2 hits i Made and driver and shaft separated. And i can't find info on how to put it back together (btw it didnt broke)

Does this work with Titleist tips?

Thanks Ryan, Just to be clear I have a RH Rogue Draw driver in 13.5 degrees and would like to make it 11.5 degrees, so do I put the left hand collets on my club (original tip) set the lower collet to N neutral and put the upper collet (tight one) to +2. Will this give me an 11.5 degree driver ?

YES it would. It's really just that easy to do.

Has anyone used the flat redline aftermarket callaway adapter? I'm puting it on a ventus tr and don't want to ruin the shaft.

Great hack, Ryan! Question: if you change out the lower one or upper one that has D on it, will it change to a fade? The Mavrik is two more degrees upright at 58* and I am trying to experiment with flattening lie angle without going to 56* SubZero. This would be way better than getting the red tour sleeve because I would not have to pull the glued part off. If yes, what amount of angle would it flatten it to? Thanks!

Hello Ryan, I heard the similar comment by Ian Fraser of TXG Canada about A Cobra F9 sleeve. Do you know if I install a LH sleeve on a RH head, this will create 3 Fade setting instead of 3 Draw setting?

That's a good question. I believe all things being equal - yes you could get more adjustability with an opposite-handed sleeve

Thanks for the video I am left handed and trying to find a left hand “shaft” can be challenging. Let’s say I purchased a shaft with a right hand opti-fit hosel and then switched the rings from my current left hand optifit hosel to the right hand hosel .... would I have effectively made the previous right hand tip a left hand tip? Or does the attached tip also influence the lie/loft for right v left handed clubs Thanks

Hi Ryan Great intel! Question, if lh epic flash hosel rings are put on a rh epic flash hosel, I can drop my loft from 9 to 7 Can I assume the same logic if I find a lh tour epic flash hosel, that has a -2, I can get down to 6? Would that work?

A LH -2 loft ring will become a +2 on a RH hosel. Essentially, it's the loft ring that already comes on the RH hosel. "Tour-spec" here just means they already applied this hack.

Ryan, will you achieve the same effect if installing the full LH tip on the shaft (for RH head)? In other words, is the sleeve alone without the two sliding pieces the same regardless RH/LH? Are the two movable pieces responsible for the difference between RH/LH...?

Hi Ryan, are the settings on the line of the cog that you set the settings the actual readings of what the club will be if you do it this way? I've heard if you have a (I'm a lefty) right hand tip on a lefty tip you would read the setting on the front of the head. Thanks

Meaning that there is a White line that you use to set the driver setting, what if I want to put the shaft in a 180 position (just testing spine alignment) so that the white marking is now on the front of the driver. Is it still the same setting as whats on the back?? Thanks Love your channel

Great to know! So as a right handed golfer, I can lower it 2 degrees (my 10 becomes 8). Now that we are talking opposites, does putting it on the draw setting open up my club face? Thanks!

Hey Ryan, I don't want this to come off as accusatory, but where did you receive the information regarding this 'hack'? How have you confirmed that it actually does what you are intending? The reason I ask, is that after watching your video and numerous others on the topic, I ordered a LH optifit hosel to reduce my 5 wood by 2 degrees. Unfortunately, I only found out after buying it, that this does not actually achieve what you are stating it does. I have done quite a bit of research in the GolfWRX community as well as contacting Callaway directly. Callaway's answer is that all possible settings remain the same whether its LH or RH, they just won't read as the stated setting if using the opposite handed hosel. Max reduction on a LH hosel installed on a RH club is still -1. They will provide you with a chart on request for the stated vs. actual settings while using the opposite hand hosel. I would appreciate you either clarifying where I'm misunderstanding the hack you are referring to, or recommend doing some research as to whether it does in fact allow a -2 loft setting and possibly removing/amending this video. I'm either confused as to what you are suggesting, or you are (unknowingly) spreading false information, which at $65 CAD per Optifit hosel, is quite frustrating.

You are right and this video is wrong, when you are using an opposite tip for a driver head, the setting is just on the other side as per callaway offficial.

Ryan, I am 73 and have a GHIN of 5, I use an Epic Flash Driver with Evenflow Blue R flex, I just purchased a Epic Flash 3 wood Sub Zero, and I love it straight ball flight, but for me the weights switching of the heavier one to the back did not give me much more altitude and launch angle from the turf, my ball will fly 210 with 15 degrees to 17 degrees, would you have any tips for me to gain any distance?

Hi Ryan, i tried this and it definitely didn't work, im sure it lofted up, everything ballooned in the air. I only changed the tight cog not and used the old loose one in draw, is that right or do both cogs need changed? Ive put both in now but not had a chance to try it yet. Would D now be S or would draw be the same?

You need to change both and need the +2 ( with the underline ) to actually take 2 degrees off the RH's driver. If you use a full left tip then the setings will be completely flipped and D ( draw ) would actually flatten the club.

Correct..

I feel like I am in back in calculus

this is wrong, if you have a left handed adapter on a right handed club it will not take it down -2. +2=-1, +1=Stated loft, Stated loft =+1, -1=+2

Why couldn't you just put the left handed shaft in the right handed head without switching cogs?

Ive seen alot of info contradicting what youre saying here. Can you actually measure the loft to prove your point?

Sorry but this is wrong. Callaway direct have said either way it only decreases loft by 1 degree. If you want to drop 2 degrees you have to purchase a tour adapter. Rh adapter in lh club +2=-1 +1=std std=+1 - 1=+2. Directly from tour staff. Hack is wrong sorry.

Hi. I have a Cobra driver. My Q is.....!.....What is the lowest loft/degree adaptors can be set to. Believe me!....I need a 5° loft. Yes five degrees. Lets not argue. Bryson de C use a 5.5°......probably custom built by Cobra. If you didnt know.....The late Calvin Pete who held driving accuracy nr.1 spot for 10yrs used a 4degree driver. I naturally hitball high. So I loose a lot of distance as result. Higher equals wider.....fact!

Not understandable

This is actually not true. +2 will change to -1 loft and -1 loft will go to +2. The lie angle will remain unchanged. I called Callaway directly and confirmed this and also also it is published on their Callaway manual.
