What is the shaft in your hybrid now? I mean the ones that were replaced because the stock shaft was garbage or the ball flight was too high. I was looking to build a new hybrid and need some good shaft suggestions. Positive or negative comments welcome. Looking to spend no more than $60 on a shaft.

Nobody here swings like you. Get fit, hit a few shafts, and pick the one that's best.

Don't want to sound stupid, but how do you compare different shafts for a club you already own? Do they remove your shaft and put a demo in or something? Or do they try to use a similar head to what you're using?

A lot of club fitters have different shafts and heads and they make the club right there you want to hit, then they can change it out and you change try a different shaft/head.

I actually LIKE the high flight of my TM hybrids... that's one of the reasons I carry them, stock shaft and all. I'm not going to mess with what works for me. When I want more distance, I have my 3 and 4 woods to use.

Like so many things, beauty (or garbage) is in the eye of the beholder.

Yeah same here, I hit my hybrid higher than my 5 iron. I am starting to draw my hybrid quite a bit though, and I wondering if it has to do with the regular flex shaft or the fact that the burner is supposed to have like 15 yards of draw bias

Go to a qualified clubfitter and let them do there thing for you. You will be much happier with the club.You will save alot of money over the trial and error of ordering different clubs or shafts till you find what you like. Their warranty is better and custom fit golf clubs are how you get better.

it wasn't a custom, but I ot the Titleist 585H with an Aldila NV 85 stiff in it. Works good for me! There were several shafts available, but I liked this one because it was heavier than the others. I also liked the V2, but it kept the ball a tad low for me on the Titleist head.

Thats exactly whats happening to me, i think the regular shaft might be the problem

I too was balooning my hybrid, I went and tested some new shafts out last week, switched from the stock Guji gold stiff shaft to the one in my sig. Still produces a high spinning, high trajectory shot but not at the cost of distance.

    • I was on Golf Digest's Golf IQ podcast with Sam Weinman talking about being a "golf dad." https://www.golfdigest.com/story/5-golf-dads-advice I followed: Ian Poulter Mike Thomas Johnson Wagner Kevin Van Valkenburg Apparently the series was only five parts long, as they wrote up a summary article on it.   Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor Podcast Episode · Golf IQ · March 2 · 35m Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor — Golf IQ Erik Barzeski, Director of Instruction at Golf Evolution, is the father of a golf pro and an author, but also has the perspective of someone who works with juniors.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.  
    • Distances look fine, no?
    • Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
