I am currently going to reshaft a 983k with a steel shaft. Lets say I want a s400 dynamic gold lite shaft would I buy a r400 and insert it all the way, is that what i would do with a rifle shaft also buy one flex down lets say a 5.0 to get to a 6.0 flex. Is that also the same for a 975d model driver.. thanks for the help....

It's a bit of a crapshoot. Typically the bore-through will increase the stiffeness about 2/3 of a flex.

Keep in mind that the steps in Rifles go from 5.0 to 5.5 to 6.0. Those are whole steps basically.

Also, check the shaft manufacturers recommendations. If the shaft is supposed to be tipped and you insert it without tipping it will play truer to flex.

Another thing that guys have done for me is to insert the shaft only partway and to spec and then fill the hole in the bottom of the head with the tip of another shaft. That works too.

Trimming instructions for Dynamic Gold Lite parallel woods (butt trim to finished length)

Head style Driver 3 wood 4 wood 5-7 woods

Through bore 0.0" 0.5" 0.75" 1.0"

Blind bore 0.5" 1.0" 1.25" 1.5"

Standard bore 1.25" 1.75" 2.0" 2.25"

For Rifle you might want 5.5 to get around S 400 flex on a bore through heads.

I believe that if you blind bore with a 2" insert it should play to the true stated shaft flex. If you fully insert it than yes it will play closer to an X flex. I actually play the Stiff flex at full insert with my NV and it plays very nicely. I play X in everything else. Your R-400 at full insert should play a little softer than a standard S-400 flex.
