Graphite Design S Hybrid Golf Shafts

The Graphite Design YS-Hybrid was a shaft I discovered through customer trials. Almost every time I sent a fitting client out with a few hybrids to compare, they came back and asked for the YS-Hybrid shaft. Torque of the S flex was 2.5, about average for hybrid shafts. The design resembles the Nippon Modus3 iron shaft. A quick loss of stiffness in the mid section, with a long stiff tip. The closest hybird shaft I have seen since is the UST ATTAS.
