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

Thanks for that

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.

    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before? 
    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
