Graphite Iron Shaft in a Hybrid

[Beretta_Shooter]

I bought a bunch of components online and had a question for the forum. Does anyone here have their hybrids shafted with a graphite iron shaft? If so any feedback? I would also take any other thoughts someone might want to contribute.

Thanks!

hey well I have 2 Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwoods with graphite shafts in them and I get great distance (230 yards with 5 hybrid when regular 5 iron goes 200.) I'm not totally sure if the shafts are iron shafts or not (probably). But, i love the feel of them. Even on mishits, it still feels smooth and soft at impact. I hope this helps. (also, try the callaway big bertha heavenwoods, they have a great sound and feel.)

Have a good one.

You more than likely can't put a shaft from an iron into a hybrid because the tip would be a different diameter. However, cutting an inch and a half or so on the hybrid shaft would give you a similar effect.

EVERY hybrid i own has a graphite shaft in it

Power_fade- The tip diameter on the shaft I ordered was .370. Will that fit into a hybrid head?

you can search for your hybrid and get the tip specs. I use a graphite design YS shaft in mine. I know a lot of people won't do this...but my diamana shaft wouldn't fit into my hiborexl. I had to have it shimmed to fill in and fit the head...but doesn't effect the playability any.. as long as you have a good club maker that knows what he/she's doing, they can make a thinner tip fit into a larger diameter head (within reason).

I personally like a heavier shaft for my 3 wood and hybrid than what's in my driver. my driver is a diamana white board 63. everything else is in the 80 gram range.....

Actually, most Hybrids use a .370 dia shaft.....same as most irons.

There WILL be times where a shim is needed...no biggie.

Can anyone recommend a good graphite shaft for under $30.00 to match up with my Bang Hybrids?

My swing speed is between 70-75 mph with a moderately aggressive downswing. Looking to gain a little more distance, but also accuracy.

Hi Neon- I just ordered and am waiting delivery on a few Snake Eyes shafts for some hybrids. I can give you an update after I install them. They were $12.97 each.

Well I just found out the answer to my question. Fedex just came and the iron shafts are too big in diameter for the hybrid. Am I dead in the water or is there a solution?
