Hybrid shaft?

[BigJim13]

What's a good hybrid shaft? Thinking along the lines of a V2 hybrid, definitely want a shaft 85g or higher that would give a mid type ballflight, I have no issue getting the ball in the air...I am truly open to ANY suggestion so lets hear it!!! Thanks!

I've got the Graman 580 series Limey in mine and I'm satisfied with the shaft. They make sharp looking hybrids, everyone calls mine my light sabers,

Know any good online retailers I can get one from? I was looking at the 680 series as well, any thoughts on that?

Never tried the 680's but I got mine from Indacup, one of the forum sponsors.

I did a bit of resaearch on hybrid shafts this week and the two options I came up with were Fuji Banzai and the Accuflex ICON HL.

I wanted a heavyish, high launching shaft at a cheapish price and out of all the reviews and shafts I researched these two came out on top. In fact I couldn;t split them so I went with the Accuflex becuase its a little stiffer and a little cheaper, but looking at your requirements, the banzai is heavier and more of a mid lauching...

Heres some specs for the accuflex:

	Length (in)	41.5	41.5	41.5
	Weight (g)	78	78	78
	Torque (degrees)	2.5	2.5	2.5

	Tip Diameter (in)	0.370	0.370	0.370
	Parallel Tip Length (in)	4	4	4
	Butt Diameter (in)	0.610	0.610	0.610
	Bend Point	Mid-Low	Mid-Low	Mid-Low

Swing Speed (mph)

88-98

99-109

110+

and for the fuji:


best thing is that the accuflex can be had for 25bucks new and the fuji for 50 buck new...now thats a bargain

VS Proto 95.



Then, tell me how it works out, because I'm going to do it to mine! Really, Jim, you should have gotten the Exotics with the NV90. The shaft is really good. I always go back to it, and I've had an S300, a Black Gold S, a Black Gold X, and a Fuji 857 in it.

I think you may be right, but I have had my eye on a V2 hybrid and 3w shaft for awhile. Was also thinking of picking up this shaft (link below) what do you think?

I had one of those in a Hogan CFT. It was one of my first shots at clubmaking, and I didn't understand swingweighting. It felt light as a mother. I always wished I had built it properly so I could have given it a better go. It seemed nice. $15 shipped? Wow, that's nothing. Those used to be 80 bucks.

I've tried steel, DG SL and Rifle 6.0, tried the Fuji Banzai, NVS 105, UST Irod and a few others. Think I may have found what I am looking for though-this could be it....

I put an IROD into my hybrid last week. It seems pretty good to me.
