Let's say if i have

65g S shaft on my driver
what should be the shaft weight for my 3 wood and 2 hybrid?
I'm hitting my 3 wood pretty good, didn't notice till today that it's 50g S shaft. For my 2 hybrid I have 85 S shaft and usually I hit it pretty high.

Well, a fitting would give you the most accurate answer, but:
Generally, the 3 wood shaft weight would be around 75g, with the hybrid shaft around 85g. If you hit the 3 wood pretty good, maybe you don't want to mess with what ain't broke.:)

I think your driver being 65 grams is ok - A 3 wood that is 50 grams should be traveling a long way because it is so light but your dispursement could probably be a little tighter with a heavier shaft - if you are hitting it good, leave it alone - An 85 gram hybrid shaft sounds right to me - you may want to get in a swing simulator and see what your swing speed is, your spin rate, your launch angle, etc - you will learn alot about your swing and the equipment that can help you improve - good luck

Generally there should be at least 10g of shaft weight increase to help offset the heavier clubhead weight. This isn't a stead fast rule but a general consesus among fitters.
