I have simple continuity in my cobra 1 lengths, same exact shaft in the irons and the hybrid.
Came here to get info on the same thing. Bryson series iron shaft in a 3 hybrid and 4 iron through wedge.
AJ I thought that this video was going to be about the process for putting an iron shaft -either parallel or taper-into a hybrid head and the calculations to figure out how much to trim from these shafts etc. in other words, the club builder how to video. Cheers.
I retro fitted a UST Attas Punch driver shaft into my Callaway Paradym hybrid with excellent results.
The Adams A12OS set that I have has the same shaft in the 3H-6H and 7i-PW. Love the videos!
You didn't mention anything about swing weight differences. I would guess that heavier iron shaft would decrease the swingweight, unless you are able to adjust the weights in the head or add weighted tape. Was the iron shaft same length or shorter than the hybrid shaft this should also influence swingweight.
Great video! Definitely has me looking at trying an iron shaft! :)
I was actually talking about this same issue on the MGS forum the other day. I have a set of 4-LW Recoil Proto 125 Stiff shafts but I don't play a 4 iron and may even retire my 5 iron and replace them with hybrids. So I was trying to determine if I could do exactly what this video is about. As long as I have hybrids the taper tip shafts fit, I should be good. Thanks for the great video and content.
I just bought an old Essentially new Taylormade burner 3 hybrid. It has a steel shaft. Hits great.
Great video! I was looking at the Mizuno Fi Hi hybrid but they only come with steel shaft options and wondered what the difference would be!
A while back I cut down my 3 hybrid 17 degrees to 6 iron length. This is now a very versatile club. I use it for hitting low 150m shots under trees and is great for chipping on links courses with the shorter shaft. More feel and control around the greens. Cutting it down has made the head a lot lighter. Should I add lead tape? Also, what if I put an actual 6 iron shaft into the head instead? Would this lessen the feel and would it hit the ball further? I love tinkering with golf clubs so love your informative channel.
Thanks..
Intresting test and it works👍
Interesting video AJ. Just a little less spin with the iron shaft and a little flatter flight as a result. I think you could game the iron shaft in the hybrid with a little bit of work, and maybe with a tweak of the cog, assuming Mizuno has an adjustable hosel.
Love to see this the other way around, a ventus HB in a 4 iron ?
Hmmmm
I know I’ve seen tons for articles about putting a driver head on a 3W shaft. But I’ve never seen it the other way. I don’t even have a DR in my bag. My 3W is my “driver” and I hit it very well. I’ve had the thought of getting a second identical shaft but just at DR length. Thinking the extra few inches will increase club head speed and get a few more yards out of it. But is that doable? Not sure if the flex needs to change or shaft weight or I might lose accuracy. And ideas on it??
good video. i have done the opposite and put hybrid shafts on my 4,5 and 6 iron to match my driving iron. is there a benefit versus using a graphite iron shaft?
The raw length is longer and the torque is usually higher in the hybrid shafts.
What is the swing weight difference between these? Can you include SW in these comparisons?
They were both D2. LinQ shaft is 30g lighter but 1/2 inch longer so they equal out.
I question your presumption. Even if you have 120g shafts in your irons and 75g in your hybrid, if the swing weights come out the same, then you shouldn't feel the difference. As you know, the weight of the head is as important as the weight of the shaft. I'd be curious what the change in swing weight was when you swapped out the shaft.
I play complete hybrid sets and use iron shafts throughout the set. 2-gw
Hi! I have exact same thought of putting Axiom Long iron 75 S flex into my Sim 2 Rescue 3 hybrid, and I did put it the Axiom into it. I also cut it into the exact same length 40.25 (shaft length without grip) as per TaylorMade website of the sim 2 rescue 3hy, but now I have a problem that the swing weight jumped into D5 which kinda too heavy for me. any helpful advices to solved this issue?
I would recommend playing it a little shorter. Try choking down 1/2 inch and see how it feels / performs. I am willing to bet you won't lose any distance from this, and should pick up consistency. That will bring the effective SW down to around D2.
If you like it, you can cut it down permanently.
I have Axiom 125 in my ZX5s. This video made me want to put axiom in my 4 hybrid. Do you recommend I follow the axiom LP tipping for 4iron then butt trim to length?
I based it off the weight of the hybrid head and how that compares to the recommended iron weight for trimming.
Where do you get tip trimming instructions based off weight? I have the 105S in 5 iron, and want to put Axiom in my 5 hybrid (TSR 3). Also wondering how much to tip the LP blank.
@@joshuawilliams-ib6yo Need to assume a standard weight of each iron and then apply the closest one to what your hybrid weighs.
Wouldn't it have been better to use a 5hy shaft, 25* to 25*?
Have you tired a steel iron shaft in a hybrid?
I haven't, recently. 20 years ago you could buy hybrids with steel shafts and at that point they were all just using a long iron shaft in them.
I saw a recent Jonh Daly WITB and it appeared he had steel shafts in all his hybrids which perked my insterest in the idea.@@EFGMC
How far can i make a modification before it becomes allegal
Need more information to answer that.
@@EFGMC Yes ofc, my fault. I ment if i can put...for example...a driver shaft in a hybrid. Or use a hybrid shaft and put it in a ironhead.
If there are any rules about a specific length of shaft in the heads of driver, hybrid or iron.
@@pontuskohler3551 Driver limit is 46 inches, no other club has any specific length restrictions I believe. I guess it would be the same 46 limit for all clubs.
I still LD my P790 2 iron with a graphite shaft, and am going to 117g project x. I found 1 at playitagain.
