X-Drive insertion depth

[jacksonlui]

hi,

I've recently bought an X-Drive GR head and noticed that the insertion depth is 1.6 inches.

There's an orange plug that sets the insertion depth in the hosel.

Can someone that knows about these heads confirm that this is true?

Most heads are 1.2 inches but this one is deeper than normal, very Callaway/Titleist like.

Does anyone know if I pull a shaft in the future, that the orange plug inside the hosel will not melt?

thanks

Jack

I'm not sure about the GR but I've changed shafts in my X-drive 460 five times and never had a problem with anything melting. Insertion depth on that driver is about 1 1/2". Titleists and Callys are bore throughs and much deeper than that.

ok thanks.

i measured mine to be 1.6 and it went it exactly that much.

I'm in the ballpark then.

You still have the xcon5 in the head? I've put in a code 6 but haven't had a chance to hit it yet.

I even put in altus hybrids in both my X-UTs, works nice.

I had an Xcon 5 put in it late last year and really haven't played it yet on the course. Too cold here (in Chicago) now. First real test will be in Tampa March 1st. I tested the shaft in a Nak head and it was very smooth and gave a nice high launch, something the X-Drive needed.

I've hit my driver on a launch monitor and the spin and launch numbers are pretty good so I'm anticipating that this will be a good combo.
