| Sorting Out the Confusion - Hybrid and Utility Clubs | ||||
| As an example, let's say we had a certain company's XYZ-brand utility club, with a graphite shaft at 40.5". The first thing to do in case of repair or a re-shaft is to determine the tip diameter. Looking at both charts, 40.5" under the "Graphite Length" column could be either a 233g head (treat as a #9-wood) or 228g head (treated as a #1-iron). The variance in weight is due to the weight distribution of an iron versus a wood-like shape. Weigh the head to make sure, as some companies will add weight pins inside the shaft tip. Measure the tip diameter to see if you should purchase a wood shaft (.335" or .350" diameters) or an iron shaft (.370" parallel or .355" taper tip diameter). Lastly follow the tip trimming tables based on the traditional club number designations based on the weight. This ensures that the shaft flex will be as the manufacturer intended.
