So, a couple weeks ago the tip of my driver shaft in my Adams Speedline broke. This is the white adjustable hosel head. The shaft was already a little soft so I just trimmed the broken part off and reshafted. The hosel does not go very far into this adapter at all, maybe 1/2". Ever since the reshaft I have been hitting some absolutely horrible feeling shots. Sound is crazy bad, vibration is crazy bad. Results aren't crazy bad though. Basically to get a good sound and feel I have to tee the ball very low and hit low on the face. Anything up higher sounds and feels way wrong. I'm not sure I reshafted in the exact orientation that the club was originally but it should be close. Would this make a difference in sound feel? Can a 1/2" tip trim cause the big change I am experiencing?
How much does shaft affect feel?
Dufferman. If the shaft broke in the tip, it has to be at least 1 inch. That would be noticeable. However, the second and likely more important cause of your issue is that there is only .5 inches of shaft inside the hosel/adapter. That is not enough for any safe play and will definitely effect the feel and performance of the shaft.
Doubtful.....but change in clublength and SW might be throwing you off a bit, less center face contacts./?
