Steel Shafts

I was in your boat before moving over to Project X graphite. I used DG Tour X7 2 iron shafts in my hybrids since they were there to replace my 2 iron. My Bridgestone J33 hybrid still has DG Tour in it.

The Project X graphite at 100g gives me all the control I need and much better control over launch and spin. The PX graphite is incredible with spin reduction and tamed a head that was ballooning even with the X7 shaft.

If you can find a 100g hybrid shaft, I'd definitely consider it. However, it's hard to discount a good steel shaft like Project X or Dynamic Gold in the hybrid either.

PX 6.0 in a tour issue TM Rescue has been perfect for me. I can hit it lower than my other hybrids but I can also hit it high. Very hard to hit left, very easy to hit straight compared to my 2 hybrid with a Rombax 85x which I tend to draw a little too much sometimes. PX flighted may be another nice option.

I play a X100 in my MD. I put it in to bring up swing weight and lower ball flight, it did both. I prefer heavier clubs as I add lead tape to my irons and wedges, and I look to avoid the balloon ball as I tend create a lot of spin. The Project hybrid shaft sounds like a winner though and may have to try one.

I have one friend that was using DG SL instead of Dynamic Gold to save weight. It's a good compromise. Ultimately, he ended up going back to a 5 wood, but the lighter weight of the DG SL gave him steel accuracy with a slightly lighter club.

KBS also makes a great hybrid shaft. Scratch uses them in their hybrids.

I would say that you should look into trying a hybrid shafted with your steel shaft of choice before settling on it. I tried a steel shafted G10 hybrid because I was having hooking issues with my Baffler. I used it for 3 rounds and I wasn't able to produce a single good shot with it. Very inconsistent contact, unable to launch correctly.. was a night mare.

That being said it works great for a lot of guys on here...

I use one steel shafted hybrid (Taylormade Rescue MD with DG SL shaft) and one graphite shafted hybrid (Idea pro with Aldila proto by you)-- I have no consistency with the graphite.

Thanks for the replies. You guys have given me some food for thought. I have a 24* Titleist 585 Hybrid with S-300 that I love. I also have an 18* Pro Gold that was built for me out of the Adams tour van with a RT Technologies Midas Tour Proto shaft that after a little tinkering I got to work for me. I am leaning towards the steel because I think that it will help me be more in line with yardages and feel. But I may have to give that Project X shaft a look. Thanks again for your suggestions and info guys.

Tried the conversion to steel for my hybrid. Went from the stock stiff shaft to an X-stiff Black Gold. I was looking for more distance consistency and to fight off the hooks. It worked, but it also made my hybrid a 1 trick pony. I used to be able to knock it down, hit a fade, adjust trajectory, and take something off of it for shorter approaches. With the BG in it all I can do is hit a high drawing shot. Oh, and I can still hook the hell out of it when I swing poorly. Still trying to figure out a mix of consistency and flexibility.
