graphite iron shaft in hybrid?


Spoon

Recommended Posts

guys i have been experimenting with a lot of hybrid shafts lately, my most interesting was when i used a spare speeder fw shaft and tip trimmed it to fit my 22* hybrid, results were phenomenal. thats another story. now i have shafted a 24* gfield uw head with a Exsar IS2 Tour Spec graphite shaft pulled from a mizuno mp fli hi 3 iron. shaft is about 105 grams. had to add about 1/2" extender. the club feels extremely robust and solid. SW is d4. cpm came out to 280...

i have mixed feelings about the compatability of a graphite shaft intended for irons on a hybrid. i recall i wanted to put an axiv shaft and even a roddio i10 graphite shaft i them but someone said it wasnt a good idea. will test the club in the range later in the day. trying this experiment becasue i got so many idle shafts lying around and it killed me to see that lonely gfield head left out :tsg_smilie_laugh:

I have tried three times and none had worked out properly. This is just my take.

il find out in an hour. taking this experiment with a grain of salt and dont expect it to work at all. who knows though there may be a little surprise. will have updates after i try it.

i must say the shaft/head combo was quite a revelation. shaft is very very stable and feels like a very stiff iron shaft. for a minute i felt like i was hitting an iron. there is that distinct feeling at impact. most of my shots were very accurate and mis**ts from this combo were generally in the same direction but with a loss of 15 yards max.

it takes some getting used to though a lot more effort to swing compared to the GD/speeder shafts. i will certainly give this more time, so far i like it. overall weight is another problem feels significantly heavier, id say the heaviest club in my bag. also concerned the sw @ d4. as all my other sticks are d2

Don't necessarily know if I would put an iron shaft in a hybrid, however I am leaning towards a 95g hybrid shaft.
