Hybrid Shaft Selection

[John2021]

Need advice. Playing Ping G20 black dot, senior flex shafts in 5-sw, regular flex shafts in driver and fairways. Hitting irons and driver straight, fading my 3-4 hybrids. Should I be looking at a senior flex change in hybrids? Last fitting advice was leave driver and hybrids with reg flex.

I tend to follow the shaft weight rule more than flex. My driver is 60g, 3 and 5 wood, 70 grams and my hybrids 80g, all Project X Hzrdus Smoke Black 5.5 shafts. Shaft flex can vary from brand to brand and even within a manufacturer’s different models. My irons are mid-weight steel shafts, Project X LZ 5.5 at 115g.

What are the weights of your wood and iron shafts?

Getting the right golf shaft can be a tricky process. For me, I got fitted for the Tensei Blue CK Pro 70 TX. My swing responded better to a golf shaft that had a mid launch, with mid-low spin profile. From there I just looked up info about the golf shaft. It has a reasonably low torque value. This helped me stop spraying the ball right, even on decent shots.

What produces the spin and launch is the bend profile. 

If I am looking for a golf shat for my 3-wood or hybrid, I would use this information to find something similar. 

For me, mI like something with low torque, but then a softer tip and mid-section for feel. 

This transitioned into my iron fitting where I found I responded better to soft stepping the iron shafts. Either go with the KBS Tour, or soft step the C-Taper. 

A proper fitting can give you a lot of information for future purchases.

A proper fitting would help, but in lieu of that, a shaft weight closer to your irons would be better IMO.
