can anyone help with hybrid shaft selection?

hi - i hit a hybrid on the monitor today and bought it- it was a nickent 3 hybrid with a ust v2 stiff shaft. I use regular shafts in my 3 wood and driver but I hit the hybrid good and straight with the stiff. I am wondering if i should have gotton a regular? is it weird to have stiff shaft for my hybrid even though everything else as a regular flex in my set??

no, thats not wierd. I would think the stiff shaft would be better. A hybrid shaft is shorter then woods and it plays like an iron, so i think a stiff is fine if your hitting it good. i say stick with it

thanks - I only hit it off the monitor so I am a little hesitant - and if i take it to the range - i cant return it. Will notice distance loss cuz it's a stiff shaft you think?

i dont think there would be a big distance loss, maybe just a few yards, but nothin to worry about. If anything, the stiff shaft will help with accuracy while sacrificing only a few yards. id say thats a good trade-off!

put masking/duct tape around the club head and take that to the range.

Sandwedge,

What type of shafts are you using in your woods/driver? I ask because there may be a similarity in the specs of the shaft and other factors; torque, weight, kickpoint, etc. If all these are close, you may not feel or see the difference.

hi - I have a callaway ft-5 driver with a fujikara 150 shaft - reg flex and a callaway X fairway 3 wood with a the same type of shaft with a reg. flex
