The XCON 8 Hybrid Matrix Golf Shaft is a perfect complement to the XCON 5, 6, or 7 golf shafts. It's weighted heavier than the XCON 5, 6, or 7 shafts but lighter than some of the other Matrix Golf Hybrid shafts. It also maintains a mid launch angle as opposed to a higher launch angle in the other XCON shafts. This allows for a lower trajectory, which is typically desired in a hybrid shaft; thus making the XCON 8 Hybrid golf shaft extremely easy to swing.
