Went to my pro shop today with 2 clubs
Ad shaft which was .335 and a r1 head which has a .350 shaft on it ATM
Is there a way that you can get the .335 shaft to go into the r1 head.

Sorry but when it comes to fitting I'm a bit of a novice

It all comes down to size to the adaptors. U can put a 0.335 shaft into a 0.355 tip, u will just need to shim it essentially making the shaft bigger. It doesnt work the other way around.

U can just buy a 0.335 SLDR/R1/Jetspeed/RBZ Stage 3 driver tip and it will work with your Ad shaft in your R1 head.

New question! Thinking of going a x100 for my 3 wood and bring down the flight a little. Any others had luck with this experiment or what has worked?

What shafts are in your irons?
What head is the three wood?
What loft is your three wood?

Your WITB says kai'li? There are plenty of lower launching shafts than that available that would be better than an x100 IMO...

I think matt3jab is playing x100 in his 3 wood

I have a 2 hybrid with an x100 which works but it's on the limit of being too heavy. I'd say a 3w might be pushing it given you can get graphite that will launch lower anyway

X100 in my 3 wood and I love it. I feel a lot smoother with it. Still hit it high though. It's worth a test

Using x100 tour in irons / or s400 tour issue hard stepped once similar flights
Driver seems ok with 70 x aphina tipped 1.5
Hybrid is kbs tipped plenty
3 wood is a callaway rfe 15 with kaili tour issue 80 x tipped plenty.

The 3 wood feels light at current set up. Getting the weight and stiffness is what Im chasing! Seems a few guys have the same issue?

The other obvious point is Im hitting it ok at the moment with a consistent ball flight and working it ok even had a lesson last week. Been on wrx and seen a few commenting on this topic as well without answers!

If it's a weight thing you're after give it a shot for sure! For the price of an x100 it's worth the experiment
