RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)
🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts
Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.
We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
We do not accept any international returns at this time.
At Grips4less, we strive to provide a smooth international shopping experience. To ensure clarity regarding shipping, duties, and returns, please review our policy below:
Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees
- International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, and import fees imposed by your country. These charges are the customer's responsibility and are determined by local customs authorities.
- If duties and taxes are not paid upon delivery, the carrier may be unable to complete the shipment and may return the package to us.
Refused or Unpaid Shipments
- If an international order is refused or the required duties/taxes remain unpaid, the carrier may return the package to us.
- In such cases, customers will be responsible for all shipping costs, including outbound and return shipping fees.
- Refunds for returned shipments will be issued minus all incurred shipping fees.
Lost or Delayed Shipments
- Once an international order has shipped, we are not responsible for delays caused by customs processing or other carrier-related issues.
- If a package is significantly delayed, we encourage customers to contact their local customs office or the carrier for more information.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Fujikura Sakura 40 Hybrid/Iron is the lightest iron shaft we carry from Fujikura: 44 g, with the mid and tip sections softened so the ball gets up and carries. It's rated high launch, mid-high spin, low bend point, and it's the partner to the Sakura 40 wood shaft, built for golfers who need help with height and carry more than they need a tighter flight. This is one 40" blank with a 0.370" parallel tip, one flex, and the same shaft goes into a hybrid or an iron. Order one for each club you're reshafting.

Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Swing at a moderate pace and need the ball higher in the air to carry it, in your irons or your hybrids
- Want the lightest shaft that still feels smooth, not loose, at 44 g
- Play the Sakura 40 in your woods and want the same feel through the rest of the bag
- Have irons or hybrids with a 0.370" parallel hosel, or a builder who trims parallel blanks
Not the right fit if you...
- Want more weight and a choice of flex. The Vista Pro Iron runs 49 to 75 g in ladies, senior, regular and stiff, and launches high in the 40 to 60 series
- Hit it high enough already and want a flatter, steadier flight. See the Axiom 0.370" parallel, rated mid to low-mid launch
- Have irons with a 0.355" taper hosel. This shaft is 0.370" parallel only, and the Axiom 0.355" taper comes made for each iron
How It Plays
Soft in the middle and the tip, on purpose. That's where the launch comes from. The tip bends more through impact, so the ball starts higher with more spin, and the low bend point helps a slower swing get the head released. If you've been hitting hybrids and long irons that fly low and run out, this is the profile that fixes it.
Light without feeling empty. At 44 g with 4.9 degrees of torque it's lighter than any other Fujikura iron shaft we carry. The weight makes the club easier to swing and easier to square, and because the tip is already soft you still feel where the head is. It's a smooth feel, not a whippy one.
One blank, two kinds of club. It comes as a single 40" blank with a 5.9" parallel tip section, so the same shaft works in a hybrid or an iron. You trim the tip for the club and the butt for the length. That's handy if you want one feel from the 4-hybrid down through the irons.
Building with it
- One shaft for each club. Order a blank for every iron or hybrid you're reshafting. It's one flex, so the only choices are tip trim and length.
- Tip trimming in a hybrid. Fujikura's hybrid chart is 0" for a 15 to 20 degree head, 0.5" for 21 to 23 degrees, 1.0" for 24 to 27 degrees and 1.5" for 28 degrees, and every inch you tip is roughly one flex stiffer. Then butt trim to length.
- Tip trimming in an iron. Fujikura's chart on the page we checked covers woods and hybrids by loft, not irons by number. The parallel section is 5.9", so go by your builder's chart for parallel iron blanks or contact us before you cut.
- Matching the woods. If you play the Sakura 40 wood shaft in your driver and fairways, this is the shaft that carries the same soft, high-launch feel into the hybrids and irons, and it's a sensible way to get one feel across the whole set.

| Model | Flex | Weight (g) | Tip Flex | Butt Flex | Torque | Butt Dia. | Bend Pt. | Spin | Launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sakura 40 Hybrid/Iron | 40 (Lite) | 44 | 70 | 84 | 4.9 | 0.600 | Low | Mid-high | High |
Graphite. Raw length 40", parallel tip section 5.9", tip diameter 0.370" (our measurement from this listing; Fujikura's chart doesn't print tip diameter). It comes in one flex, the 40, and our dropdown calls it Lite. Tip flex and butt flex are Fujikura's stiffness ratings; within a model, the stiffer flex has the lower number.

How the Sakura Family Compares
| Shaft | Launch | Spin | Bend Point | Weight | Torque | Raw Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sakura 40 Wood | High | Mid-high | Low | 47.5 g | 8.4 | 45" |
| Sakura 40 Hybrid/Iron (You're here) | High | Mid-high | Low | 44 g | 4.9 | 40" |
Launch, spin, bend point, weight and torque are Fujikura's ratings. The wood shaft has a 0.335" tip and the hybrid/iron shaft a 0.370" tip, both our measurements. Want the same light, high-launch idea with a flex choice? The Vista Pro Iron 40 series is the next step up at 49 g. The whole brand lineup is in The Fujikura Shaft Guide.
Related Shafts and Collections
We don't build the Sakura 40 Hybrid/Iron assembled; it ships as the raw blank. For the matching wood shaft, see the Sakura 40 Driver & Fairway Shaft. For a hybrid that comes with the adapter and grip installed, the assembled Vista Pro Hybrid launches high in the 40 and 50 series.
