I play a 4DX (S) 4-hybrid. It's a great club for me. I got another set of clubs that incuded 3 and 4 (also stiff) 3DX hybrids. I took out the 3 yesterday and the shaft was like a noodle compared to the 4DX. Stiff? Not a chance! I could not hit it, period.

So, then, what's up with the 5DX? Anyone moved from a 4DX to a 5DX? Shaft differences?

i honestly cant tell you ANYTHING about the shaft differences between the 4DX and the 5DX, but I can tell you the 5DX is the absolute BEST hybrid i have ever hit by far. its the longest, straightest, most forgiving hybrid and its almost like cheating. this thing will be in my bag for a loooong time. hopefully someone else can tell you about the shaft differences though

on a side note though, i have played both the regular flex and the stiff flex in the 5DX hybrids and the regular flex shaft is actually pretty stiff for a reg flex shaft. definitely not a whippy reg flex. and the stiff is DEFINITELY not a whippy stiff

I played the 3DX and now the 4DX and think they are really excellent clubs. Positively not hook machines.

Play both with the Nippon steel FW shaft (about 1/2" shorter than the graphite). Uniflex (stiiff/firm). Absolute weapons

Hmm...I never thought about a steel shaft in a hybrid, but...why not?

    • Wordle 1,645 3/6* ⬛🟦⬛⬛🟦 🟦⬛⬛🟦⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 There is a group I know that posts their results on Facebook whenever they solve in 1 or 2 guesses. I asked one how they were so successful and evidently there is one type that provides word clues. Never seen it, but that could enhance your chances!
    • Day 445 - 2025-12-19 Hit some balls at AMGC today before getting on a flight and driving back to home through some not-so-awesome weather. The backswing is starting to feel pretty good. I have to clean up the knees a little.
    • Day 25: did my drill with foam balls in the garage for a good 20 minutes. Worked on my hands not being as deep. 
    • I unknowingly ordered what would sort of be considered a staff bag. It is the 14 divider version of the Titleist staff bag and was stated on the website to be a staff bag "light" (Titleist Tour Premium Cart Stadry), but it is pretty big. Love it though.
    • Day 39 (19 Dec 25) - weekly men’s group shootout today - we had as a “fifth” in our foursome the course teaching pro.  With the solid winds playing havoc, it was great having him to offer insight and counsel on what to take into to account. Mind you, he did not recommend specific club but rather to what consider and how to plan.  What a great day for course management education at the next level.
