Anyone have any experience with these hybrid shafts? I've read the techincal diffrences but how does that translate into actual course and playing differences? Thanks

13 Wedges
1 Putter

i play the altus. and have played it in a tourburner TP as well. i like the altus, but its not my perfect shaft. the 8H is perfect. i have the F7M2 in my three wood which is kinda a lowerlaunching shaft and the 8m2 complements that much better, whereas the altus complements my code 6 much more with a higher launch. didnt find the altus to make too much spin

How does the actual launch of the 8h compare to the altus in terms of ball flight?

I like the low spin characterstics of the altus but is it really that much of a difference?

I find the altus too just be high. as in it starts high, and it just stays there. The 8M2 kinda started out lower, then rose a bit to a medium flight. i prefer the 8M2, i am currently lookin for one in the orange color :)

I play the altus. My hybrid is very workable and quite controllable both distance and trajectory wise. I can hit it high or low/mid. I'm a fan of the shaft.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
