ok guys I have a new Taylormade Dual hybrid.. But I feel like the shaft is to light... it is 65 grams... everyone else has around 80 to 85 grams... I hit it ok but feel like I come out of the swing a little because it is so light.. Any suggestions on a shaft that would be good to consider???? Thanks

I have a Titleist 503h hybrid with the Aldilla NV 85 shaft on it and a TM Dual hybrid with a stock shaft on it. The heavier shaft definitely feels better on hybrids than the lighter ones. I always come out of my swing with the TM Dual hybrid and this is due to the lighter shaft. The heavier shots give me control and accuracy. Aldilla NV 85 is the most popular shaft on hybrid these days...and the price is not bad at all.

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
