I play a 4DX (S) 4-hybrid. It's a great club for me. I got another set of clubs that incuded 3 and 4 (also stiff) 3DX hybrids. I took out the 3 yesterday and the shaft was like a noodle compared to the 4DX. Stiff? Not a chance! I could not hit it, period.

So, then, what's up with the 5DX? Anyone moved from a 4DX to a 5DX? Shaft differences?

i honestly cant tell you ANYTHING about the shaft differences between the 4DX and the 5DX, but I can tell you the 5DX is the absolute BEST hybrid i have ever hit by far. its the longest, straightest, most forgiving hybrid and its almost like cheating. this thing will be in my bag for a loooong time. hopefully someone else can tell you about the shaft differences though

on a side note though, i have played both the regular flex and the stiff flex in the 5DX hybrids and the regular flex shaft is actually pretty stiff for a reg flex shaft. definitely not a whippy reg flex. and the stiff is DEFINITELY not a whippy stiff

I played the 3DX and now the 4DX and think they are really excellent clubs. Positively not hook machines.

Play both with the Nippon steel FW shaft (about 1/2" shorter than the graphite). Uniflex (stiiff/firm). Absolute weapons

Hmm...I never thought about a steel shaft in a hybrid, but...why not?

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
