I just ordered the RBZ 4 hybrid with the stock stiff shaft. It felt good in the hitting bay but those are tough to tell. for those of you who have hit it, what do you guys think of the shaft?

It's okay, off the rack shafts or "made for" shafts are pretty cheap and can be inconsistent.  But all that DOESN'T matter if it works for you.

thanks for posting that link. just about all my clubs are after-market shafts and i completely agree that stock shafts can be pretty inconsistent but it was working for me so far. once season comes and I'm having some trouble ill look into some different shafts. thanks

I purchased the 3H RBZ - with the stiff stock shaft and hit the club pretty well.  I flew it 218yds past the pin into a Par 5 on Sunday... The shot had a little too much juice and took one bounce through the green into the embankment of rough surrounding the back side.  There is no way I had that shot in my bag when I was carrying a 3i.  So I like the club a lot.

So far I've played about 4 rounds with it... And it is a solid club.  My miss is still a hook... But that has always been the case with my longer clubs off the turf.  I wouldn't carry it in my bag if it wasn't solid.  It's pretty easy to hit too which is great.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
