Hey guys, like the title says, I've got a Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwood Hybrid, which to my understanding has a .350 tip.  It's currently got a steel shaft and I'm looking to replace it.  I'm having trouble finding any shafts that will fit, that aren't going to cost this college kid all my lunch money.  Any suggestions?  Or am I wrong about the size?

Golfworks has a guide for replacement shafts including the tip sizes.  If you're looking to switch over to graphite, you have to be careful of the swing weight dropping too much when you go to the lighter shaft.  That being said, Aldila NV shafts are quite good and relatively cheap, running about $50 online, not including shipping or installation.  I know they make some in a .350 tip, but not sure about weights for the different tips.  Hope this helps.

Thanks!  I know of the guide you're referring to, that's where I looked to determine that it was a .350 tip.  Most offerings I've found for hybrids have been .355/.370 and I won't be doing it myself and don't know much about exchanging shafts, except that it's gotta fit.

I will keep an eye out for those on the bay for sure, thanks again.
