    I recently purchased a Titlest TS2 driver at a titles fitting in elizabethton,tn and put a kurokage 50 gm regular flex shaft. IT turned out to be an excellent fitting. the club is great! I was wondering if I need to put the same shaft in my 3 wood and hybrids too. Would you recommend that?

    Hi,
    There is no rule that say you have to use the same manufacturer and models of shafts on driver, fairway woods and hybrids.
    Sometime, it could be a good fit but there is no guarantee.
    Many golfers if not majority of golfers used different shafts companies for drivers and other woods or hybrids.

    Just think about Fujikura Ventus shaft which is very popular for drivers on PGA tour.
    The 3 wood is one of the most difficult club to match.

    The only way is a fitting for each golf club to maximize, ball speed, dispersion, launch etc.
    It is taking some time but you will have more chance that the shaft will fit you better.

    Best regards,

    Get fit. I have a rather unusual fit on my clubs. I use a Bassara 50g R on my driver with 44" shaft and 17g headweight. My 17F has a Diamana 70 R cut to 41.5" with a 14g headweight. I have a tried and true 910F 21 with a 41" Kaili shaft and stock headweight. My hybrids are 816H1 with Diamana S70+ R at standard length. If I use a 60g shaft on a hybrid or fairway, I'll miss left. My 6-8 irons are 1/2" short and 1/2* upright. The 6 iron is AP2 with Project X Rifle 5.5 and the other irons are S300. Wedges are standard length DG Wedgeflex. I play my 58, ,62 and 64 at 65* lie angle (actual lofts 56, 60, 64). I play the 46 (bent to 44) at 64.25* lie and the 50 at 64.5* lie.

    If you like the weight/feel and performance of that shaft and want the consistency in the fairway woods a lot of guys match their shafts. However, the trajectory is the main thing to watch, the KK shaft is the lightest, highest launching shaft in their lineup (unless you go ts1 and the air speeder/fubuki) so depending on your trajectory if you need more help hitting it higher the KK is a great choice, next step down in flight would be the tensei av blue which is more of a mid launch.

    I got fitting for my 3 W and 5W it just ended up being that the same shaft produced great numbers for me. I have a different shaft in my driver (which I was fitted for). I always suggest getting fitted and don’t just assume the same shaft will provide the same results.
