The KBS Players Graphite Hybrid PGH is designed to partner with the KBS Players Graphite Iron. It is available in lighter weights that the earlier KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype, and is designed to promote a higher launch. It is available in 10 gram increments with a 0.370 tip that can be trimmed to increase stiffness.

TPT Red Hybrid Shaft Review


The TPT Red Power Hybrid is not a new shaft, it was introduced in 2020. I discussed TPT’s manufacturing process in the review of the TPT Red Driver shafts many years ago. This short review covers measurement of shafts sent to me by TPT engineering to be included in my database.

Graphite Design Tour AD IZ Hybrid Shaft Review

the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ Hybrid Shaft is not new release. It was recently pointed out to me that it was not in the database. Like most Graphite Design models, they do not get recycled with new graphics every few years. The IZ driver shaft has been with us since 2017. It is an update of the Graphite Design Tour AD DI with new materials. The Graphite Design IZ Driver and IZ Hybrid profiles are very similar. If the IZ or DI driver are your fit, you should be testing the IZ Hybrid in your hybrid or rescue clubs.

OBAN Isawa GLD Hybrid Golf Shaft Review

The OBAN ISAWA GLD Hybrid shaft has much the same profile as the ISAWA GLD Driver Shaft. If you fit into a Driver/Fairway shaft, why not use the same profile in your hybrids. The Isawa GLD hybrid makes that possible. And like the GLD driver shaft, it is one of the most popular profiles for recreational golfers.

Mitsubishi MMT Hybrid Golf Shaft Review

Mitsubishi MMT Hybrid Golf Shaft Review

The Mitsubishi MMT Model Golf Shaft is available for Hybrid, Iron, Wedge and Putter. This review will focus on the hybrid shafts. We have seen carbon fiber shafts with outer wraps of stainless steel wire, here we have a shaft with an inner wrap. The Metal mesh technology is only in the tip of the shaft. This is not the first time Mitsubishi has integrated metal into their shaft prepreg. I have fond memories of the TINI wire used in the KuroKage shafts. Mitsubishi tells us the metal mesh added weight without having to add material which would have change the balance of the shafts. And like the TINI wire, the mesh adds a responsive straighten to the shaft.
