I had a fitting for all three

Driver has one shaft
3 and 5 wood has another
Hybrid another


This is very often the sort of setup that a fitting will come up with - as Drivers, FWs and Hybrids have somewhat different requirements.

But for those that want to 'synchronise' their shafts, the same style of shaft CAN suit, though the weights are normally different. For example, the Diamana (Blueboard and derivatives for example) often have 60gm Driver, 70gm FWs and 80 or 90gmHybrid. Similar applies to Matrix shafts - eg 60S, 70S and 90(S).

It's probably more 'important' to have 'matching' (at least that weight progression) Driver and FW than to include Hybrid. And it depends whether 'feel' is a big consideration.

Personally I prefer a less than boardy feel in Driver and FW, but can tolerate a boardy hybrid. My setup isn't 'perfect' as the Red Tie is a tad on the boardy side! I have been in the process of acquiring Code 6/7/8s for some time, as these have always felt and worked fine for me, but just haven't got round to removing them from existing heads and putting adapters on!

I get the GolfWRX emails and it can be interesting to see what Tour players use. some have synchronised shafts, others have quite different ones! Some have a 10gm difference between Driver and 3W, others only 5gm. Some have quite heavy hybrid shafts, others relatively light ones - even seemingly out of kilter with their heavy/light Driver/FW shafts! I still enjoy thumping my (original) TM Rescu Mid 19* that has a 98gm Fuji 904Hb - a wonderful Hybrid shaft for that head!
