Oban Devotion Hybrid 85 substitute options

[DiegoG]

I am looking for affordable, possible stock shaft options similar to Oban Devotion Hybrid 85 shaft. I got fitted for this shaft but can’t from paying nearly $600 for a hybrid club.

the OBAN Hybrid shaft is listed with $180 so what hybrid is it? must be very expensive stuff

[DiegoG]

Price quoted was $580 from local shop. Just looking for a comparable shaft.

I was fit into that at one time too. Was a great option for a while. KBS Proto was also a good fit for me at that time. Now I’m in a AD-DI, which I has a very different feel. 
 

What club did you get fit into? I have a 85 04 (stiff) with a Titleist tip on it. Plays 39.75” that I’m not using anymore. Send me a PM if you want yo discuss.

Thank you for some suggestions. I was fit into a Ping G 430 hybrid. TSR wasn’t working for me. I appreciate other options that you mentioned. I was able to find a used Devotion shaft that I’ll use.

The Ping is a really nice option. Glad you found a used shaft to buy.
 

I’m going to a Ping fitting in a couple weeks when I’m in Arizona. Looking forward to testing out the 10K driver.

Must be an error.  I NEVER encountered a hybrid shaft costing anywhere near that much.  One likely exists if built in a white room.  The most I've paid has been $250, and wouldn't think to pay more given its usage.

@DiegoG, I see you already found a Devotion.  Its a good shaft and still relevant.

 

But in case you are looking in the future, Oban Devotion and Ventus Blue have very similar profiles. 

 

And among the relatively inexpensive upgrade options for Ping, the Aldila Rogue Black and UST Recoil ES (both under $50 for the upgrade) are probably also worth checking out.
