I like their system of switching shafts and wonder if any of you have tried it. With extra hosels, one could use shafts they already have. I am considering the 11.5 head and not sure what the performance difference is between the 440 and 460 versions.

do not buy into any brands shaft swapping system.

The adapter is always heavier than 6-8 grams and everyone needs to be aware of what 8 grams does at the neck of a driver in regards to performance.

Even 5 is a lot, and I watched some of these adapters being made, very few come out 8g, many come out at 10g.

I have a 440 10.5* that was my gamer all of last season, despite some stiff competition. I was fitted for it, and it outperformed EVERYTHING. I switched from an Epon 460ZR to this head. I have 3 hosel adapters, and for several rounds played with various shafts and various weight screws to see if the difference was noticeable.

The only reason it isn't in the bag now is user error. I stripped the screw that attaches to the hosel, and had to have Nakashim remove it. Just got it back, and expect that it will be back in play this season.

There aren't very many 460 heads available right now. My understanding is that is has the same face height as the 440, but longer front to back. Not much else known about it.

Good luck.

Shaft swapping isn't the real point of the Nak hosel---clocking is.

In the days of persimmon and laminated-maple woods, you could, for a reasonable setup charge, get any combination of loft, lie angle, and face angle that you wanted. Not the case with titanium. Some combinations, like generous loft with an open face and flat lie, are impossible to find.

With the Htec, you can use the hosel ferrule combo to change the lie angle, or, if you prefer, the face angle.

The only caveat about face angle is that it will impact loft as well, so you have to keep that in mind when choosing your static loft.
