Hybrid shaft - match to irons or woods?

[Mjr. D]

Should you match your hybrid shaft weight to the weight of shaft you're playing in your irons or more towards the weight of shaft you're playing in your fairway wood?

I'm using an 78g shaft in my driver, a 76g shaft in my 3 wood ( I know, it should be heavier than my driver shaft) and a 86g shaft in my hybrid right now.

Should my setup be more like 78g (driver) 85-90g (3 wood) and then 100g (hybrid) or 125g for the hybrid to match my iron shafts?

Thanks guys.

I use the same weight shaft in my drivers and 3 woods. I guess most people use a slightly heavier shaft in the woods, but the "lighter" shaft in my fairways helps me get the ball off the turf.

Regarding whether to match you hybrid to irons or woods, I would first determine which club you're replacing with that hybrid. If you're replacing a 4i, then match to irons. If you're replacing a 5w with a 2 hybrid or something, I would match to woods.

Good point. My hybrid is 17* so what would that be?

For me, a 17* hybrid replaces a 5 wood. I would match to my woods.

K cool. I like playing my hybrid like a wood anyway - like the wood head look over the iron look.
