I currently have the Diablo Edge Iron Set 5-PW but I want to trade out my 5i for a Diablo Edge 5h. The problem is that it is hard to find the Men's Diablo Edge 5h but very easy to find the women's 5h in the same set. Would it be possible for me to use a Women's 5h club head and reshaft it and regrip it to go along with my current set? Or will the lie and loft angles be off? I really want to keep my set consistent. Thoughts? PS - Oddly enough the 4h and 6h are easy to find but not the 5h (ie eBay and other resources). I already have the 4h in place of the 4i.

I don't see why it would be a problem, just make sure that the loft is the same. I know that with my wife's set (Cobra AMP) the 3 and 5 woods actually have more loft than the men's versions; I'm not sure if it'd be the same for hybrids.

Clubheads designed for women sometimes have a lower and more rearward center of gravity than the men's clubhead. This would increase the launch angle over the men's head.

Which is nice because that way he does't have to duck. :-P
