I don't know what shaft "that shaft" is in terms of weight (if it has been mentioned, I didn't see it). But if it's a lightweight driver shaft then you're right, it's way too light for a hybrid. Most hybrid shafts are in the 85 to 110 gram range.
As far as the brass shims causing the tip to feel softer, I've never heard of that and I'd be interested in knowing why that might be so. As I said, a thinner shaft would feel considerably softer in a hybrid than a .370 shaft and since you'd need the shims to accommodate a thinner shaft, it could be that the shims are "guilty" by association, but I can't see how a shim itself could have any effect on how a shaft behaves.
