Help me with a shaft for my new Fairway wood and Hyrbid

Spent a ridiculous amount of money on custom driver and irons at club champion and figured I could just ask you guys what shaft will work well on my fairway and hybrid based on those fittings. I don't know shite about custom shafts tbh but the feel on my irons and driver are amazing. Got rid of my old fairway setup (TM M6 3,5) for Callaway Epic 3W 15* and Maverick 3H 20*
Driver=Mitsubishi Diamana RF series 50 stiff
Irons= KBS taper lite 100
Any suggestions?
Current shaft on the 3 wood=Smoke IM 10, 60g, mid spin?
Hybrid=KBS hybrid 80 S

based on what you were fit into for irons and driver, i would think that is pretty close to a good fit

yes, doing a little more research and stuff online is saying go heavier on the shaft by about 10g for fairway.
No clue on Hybrids.
Am I losing anything on tip flex with those to help get it in the air?
How do I tell that about each shaft?
Guys here seem pretty knowledgeable so figured I'd ask..

There really isn’t much of a savings doing it yourself. I just went through a fitting, my heads were actually cheaper through them than buying myself. Shafts were maybe $20-35 more than my price. I wrote that off to labor for them to put together.

Tensi Blue 70 for 3 wood and Tensi Blue 70 or 80 Hybrid shaft .
Now if you want the best Hybrid shaft ever made IMO, do a little Ebay search and get a Matrix Altus 85 hybrid shaft. ( don't get the X-Con version, get the original red one)
The original IROD hybrid shaft is damn good too.

Go up 20 grams on 3 wood? My SS is ~110 fwiw. Think I'm good still?
This is my first hyrbid and it honestly feels like shite right now. Swore I'd never get one.

They say 10 up on the 3 wood is a good starting point. Then another 10 on the hybrid. However that’s not always the end all be all. Just a good place to start.
That’s what the Callaway rep told me while fitting me for my fairway and driver on the trackman. We tried a bunch of shafts but ended up exactly there. 70 on the driver and 80 on the fairway wood

For your swing speed I am surprised that they put you in a 50 gram stiff shaft.
You can handle a 70 or 80 gram fairway wood shaft easily.
Typically the heavier the shaft the flatter the ballflight.
On your hybrid, really depends on your average course conditions and do you want the ball to soar high and land softly or do you want a flatter stronger trajectory ?

Pivoting off this thread...I'm also interested in getting a new 3 wood. Would it be dumb to pay for a fitting just for a 3 wood? I've never been fitted before, but I also don't have interest (or the budget) to get a new driver and irons for at least a couple more years.

3 wood is maybe the hardest club to get comfortable with that's why most Pro's are reluctant to change when new models come out.
Finding a 3 wood that you can trust under pressure is priceless.

Maybe learn how to srrike a golf ball before any of this BS. Its a ball and a stick and a club.

Watch out. We got an internet scratch golfer here.

I agree. Learn to hit the ball first. Shafts and clubs help out just a tad when you are elite
