I currently don't have a driver and I've been teeing off with my 3 wood. I found that I have to swing harder than I swing my hybrid to get the ball in the air. Even though the shaft says regular, I feel that it plays stiffer than regular. It could also be other reasons.

Anyways, so instead of getting new driver plus custom shafts, re-shafting my 3 wood is going to be a lot cheaper. Plus that'll for me to use it and learn it.

My question is for those who have a custom shaft in your 3 wood, why did you pick that shaft? Did you just pick the same shaft as your fitted driver?

I know there are numbers to look for while doing a driver fitting (say 90 mph ss, 14 to 16 deg launch, 3000 to 3500 rpm) . Does the same numbers apply to 3 wood?

I would go with the shaft in my favorite club to start.

My favorite club would be my hybrid. Shaft is made by UST. Unfortunately, it's not available. But thanks for the direction, mikelz
