Nice! Are you installing this shaft yourself or having it done professionally?
Did you get the S or X?
Boo on you!!!I got the X
Twelve THP'ers who attended the 2015 #TheGrandaddy were also fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to get their hands on the newest shaft from Oban, the Hashimoto. This thread will serve for the ongoing thoughts/testing of this shaft and also provide a place for any questions to be asked.
The Hashimoto is actually a very limited release from Oban that was designed in coordination with Callaway R&D and will be offered as a custom upgrade option with the 816 Alpha and Great Big Bertha drivers (as well as through Oban dealers). From discussions that THP'ers were able to have with the heads of Oban, the shaft possesses a softer tip section while having more stiffness in the butt and mid sections of the shaft. It was described to us as a low spin design with higher launch and aimed at a large segment of golfers needs. Aesthetically its definitely a departure for the company which is know for some of the brightest colors out there, but the stealth look is extremely clean with its combination of matte and gloss finishes.
The Hashimoto will be released in extremely limited quantities and available in R (55g), S (65g), and X (65g) flexes.
More information will be put up as we get it in hand in terms of specifications, but an in depth introduction on the shaft (and info on Oban as well) can be heard on Callaway Golf's "The Fitting Room" podcast below.

Ok first drive of the day with the Oban. I really really like the ball flight. Nice high draw that had a ton of carry. Similar distance as with the Rogue so that makes me happy. I will say for the time on the range and that first tee shot impact feels a little softer

I may be wrong here but I thought I heard him say $299 for the shaft
Being fit for a similar setup, I'll be curious what numbers you see. I want to get out to the heated range with my GBB and put a few shafts through it and see how they all compare. I feel like high launch/low spin could be pretty dang good for me.This will be fun to put on my monitor this week. Especially against a setup I was literally professionally fit for.

Yes, he's in the rogue I/o 70x and I'm in the 70s.You and jman got fit for similar shafts?
Yes, he's in the rogue I/o 70x and I'm in the 70s.
Yeah, there were 10 stiff, 1 regular, and 1 x available, so most got stiff.Did you go stiff with the Oban?
Yeah, there were 10 stiff, 1 regular, and 1 x available, so most got stiff.
