Anybody tried this setup? Is it feasible? Got an RBZ Stage 2 12 Degree driver kicking around with a senior shaft, I fancy as an experiment re-shafting with a 3 wood or Hybrid shaft in a suitable flex for me. What do you think?

Traditionally, Hybrid shafts are much heavier than Driver ones!

I have a 90gm (Fuji 904HB) Hybrid shaft that feels great, but an 83gm (Code 8) Driver shaft feels really sluggish! 65-70-ish seems to be my 'limit'!

Oh and Hybrids are often different diameter tips - that 904HB only comes in .370! Driver hosel widths are generally .335 or .350!

Is it for length or weight? If it's length you may be better chopping a 3w shaft down

I sported the other day that I swing my hybrid at 1mph slower than my driver so wondered about this....

It looks totally weird and it was very off putting.
Lost a lot of clubheads speed but did not straighter than normal and not too bad for distance.
Certainly gives credence to shorter driver shaft theory...
