I am looking to possibly put Modus 120 X iron shafts into Callaway Apex 2016 hybrids – the 3 (20*) and 4 (23*). They would be .370 shafts. I have read about matching the head weights to iron weights. The Modus 120 comes pre-tipped even in .370 accordting to GolfWorks. So, I guess I need to know what # iron shafts to buy. I don’t know the weights of the hybrid heads. My iron set is Titleist T-100 (2021) 5-PW.

I have 2 sets of these hybrids. My gamers right now are Tensei AV Raw white 90G stiff. I like my hybrids to play like irons and have similar distance gaps.

Also, could I replace the sole weight of the hybrid to bring up the swingweight?

And then I was thinking of playing them 1/4 inch over my regular iron length to start and if needed, trim it down.

Thoughts?

Thank you!

Without knowing the head weights of the hybrids, I can’t really advise on what discrete length shafts you need to get. We would take the head weights and compare to the most similar iron head weight and that would be the shaft I wouldvbe the shaft length I would recommend. There are no standard weights for hybrids, so I could not guess on what they might be. Our TC TSI hybrids are 244g on the #3 and 250g on the #4. Out TC Tour Hybrids are 234g and the #3 and 240g on the 4, so you can see that even separate hybrid designs from us have different stock weights. We designed them that way based on recommended shaft weights. the TC Tour were done several years ago when most hybrids used 80g plus shaft weights. today, most hybrids are coming with lighter weight shafts. At least that is the trend we see. So, get me the head weights of the Callaway hybrids and I could tell you what length shaft to get.

As far as changing the weight on the sole of the hybrid, I assume you can if you can get the weights. We do not carry a weight for the 2016 Apex hybrids.

1/4″ longer is fine, you just have to do it and test and decide if that is what works best.
