Do y’all match utility shafts with the rest of your iron shafts or hybrid shafts (if you game a hybrid)?

Picked up a pair of Srixons and trying to figure out how the frick to hit them, but also the shafts.

TIA

Every club head is different. Why not get whatever shaft fits that club with your swing best?

I matched mine to match my set. I love it. I think that may be limiting it's capability though.

I didn't buy a 3 iron with my newest set. I stuck with the hybrid. Actually don't have a 5 wood anymore because I like the hybrid so much (and I have 52, 56, and 60). My driver and 3 wood have matching shafts, my irons and wedges have matching shafts. My hybrid has a random shaft in it, and I wasn't fitted for it, but man I love that club. Probably the best club in my bag right now.

I think the Graphite Design DI shafts are the best in utility irons with the MMT next in line.

I have the MMT 80 shaft in my Hybrid and it is super smooth.

I do neither. I have steel DG X7 in my irons and obviously graphite in my driver and 3 wood. My 3 iron is the only graphite shaft i have in an iron and it’s different than any shaft i have in my woods. I make sure i had the correct weighting progression going down my woods to my UDI.

Like others have said it depends on your swing and what you are hoping to accomplish with the club.

I have an xforged UI. I use a 90g Smoke black cut down an inch. The main reason for the club is to find fairways when my drive is off, so the shaft and club are set up to keep the ball low and spin less.
