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.

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.

    • Day 169 - Full swings using MirrorVision. Need to film a few for Evolvr to see how things are progressing. 
    • Day 73: Really wiped out today, so just hit 15 balls with 9-3 swings, and then putted around inside. 
    • I tried them out a few years back but chose the Callaway Mavrik Pros. They’re nice as most Mizuno irons are. I used to play MP54’s and really liked them. I had a Mizuno stand  bag and never had any issues with it.🙂
    • Day 184: 6/24/24 Putting practice on a 3’ ruler, 1” wide. Good session and I hope to get back to full swings once tennis elbow improves. Exercises aren’t currently helping.
    • So last weekend was our annual two man best ball (two round net total for flight honors + a cross flight shootout tournament -  Schaubach Cup) tournament. It was a tale of two rounds. On day 1 my partner and bestie Pete (15.5 hcp) totally ham and egged to shoot a tourney best 58 - four shots clear of our next flight competitor team. He shot a career best 79 coming out with 5 straight pars while I fought my driver. I finally found my swing on the 6th hole and birdied three holes on the back side all of which I was stroking to pick up three net eagles. We basically played our our minds. It's amazing when driver/wedge/putter all workout. On the same day.  Day 2, as often happens ended up being a different story. We couldn't get much done with greens drying out to lightning fast (12 stimp) and shot a net 70 to finish 4 shots outside of making it to the playoffs. Good news was our flight leader won winning everyone in our flight $300 each.  In summary, except for the first four of the five holes, I have never driven the ball better and ecstatic that my putter made me a few bombs. Wedge was as good as I can control one in the pesky 55 to 85 yard range. Of course, all of this was day 1. Day 2 wasn't terrible but made no birds and had three three-putts...and my partner played like he had blown his load on Day 1. Heh. Another team shot 59 to beat us by a cumulative 4 shots. Came in 2nd. All in all was a great weekend.
