I am going to look for a new driver this winter as my current one (TM R9 SuperTri) developed a small crack this year.

I've always thought the shaft is as important (if not more) than the head. So a few questions:

1) I hit my current driver really well, though it is using the stock shaft. Is it possible to take the shaft off my current driver and fit it into a new head?

2) I've never done a fitting before - any recommendations on places? Is it typically just one session, and what sort of cost would I be looking at?

3) What do you get from a fitting? Do they match you with a particular driver/shaft combo, or do they present driver/shaft characteristics that would be beneficial, and it's up to me to find the right one? Are fittings specific to a club manufacturer, or are they more generic?
