Middler 3,756 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I want to replace my 3h, but I don't know of anyone who does fittings for hybrids alone. It's my understanding there's usually a logical progression of shaft weights from driver (lightest) to irons/wedges (heaviest) for well fitted clubs. I've searched online for a rule of thumb, or a table with examples but haven't found anything. I was loosely fitted in three separate (free) fittings for most of my clubs, but if I have it close to right it's somewhat down to luck. I hope to order a new 3h with the best guess standard OEM shaft option - and I don't love my current 3h so I can't assume matching the current weight is best. Just FWIW, my bag shaft weights: Driver 60g 3W 68g 3h 77g 4-GW 91-96g SW & LW 100g CC custom fitted me with a 48g driver shaft (which I sold on eBay after a couple months), but that was a complete disaster if that suggests any tendency.

jlukes 16,688 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Generally 3H would be in the 80-100g range. Based on your driver and 3w weights somewhere around 80-90g should be fine. Of course, shaft profile, balance point and overall swing weight of the club can change how you perceive the weight 1 Quote G410 LST 9* Tour AD DI 6X G425 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 - Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-PW OBAN CT 115X(-) Vokey SM7 50F - 54S - 60D PLD Milled Anser 2 ProV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnosil 26,190 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 General research seems to indicate about a 10gr progression as you move through the woods and hybrids. Based on feedback I got from KBS when I was getting their hybrid shaft the indicated that lighter typically resulted in higher flight. Based on your listed weights I’d target 80ish due to your iron weights. a search for golf shaft weight progression produces a pretty good chart for individual clubs and club types. This chart indicates this progression for a 60ish gram driver driver 60-65 woods 67-80 hybrids 85-95 irons 120+ 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 5-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: T20 54-8 588 58-12 Putter: Auditions ongoing Backups: TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, mFGP2, Directed Force 2.1 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
