Of course you can reshaft irons. It's done all the time. Would I? Yes. All my irons I reshafted to graphite shafts due to elbow issues. Since going to graphite I actually improved in accuracy and distance.

 

If you reshaft from one flex to another or one manufacture to another there can be performance issues depending on your swing speed, angle of attack, etc.

How much weight class difference are you looking at in the change? Years ago, I reshafted my reliable Mizuno MP-32. I had some lead elbow issues, so went from steel to graphite. Due to a nice low COG design on the Mizzies, I never had issue elevating their stock TT DG R300 shafts of 127G.

 

So changing out to Recoils F4 125 @ 122G was not much of any heft issue, and very similar feel as the flex rating was more stiff in the Recoils kind of balancing out the change in composition and overall weight. With such a close change in shaft weight, I had no concern in SW changing - so no desire to look for more tip weights. That should be your concern on change.

As mentioned, you absolutely can, and there are plenty of reasons to do it. If you're a tinkerer and somewhat handy it's flat out fun. I did it because I wanted to get into doing my own club building and I wanted to try out lighter shafts than the heavier stock shafts that came with my irons. The only possible performance issues would be if you a) installed them poorly, b) installed shafts that don't fit you at all or c) just tossed in some shafts without taking any measurements leading to wonky final club specs.

Swing weight has already been mentioned as a concern if you want to do it right, but just search around for swing weight scales. There are plenty of tutorials out there and testing on a few junk clubs is a huge help. Also, if you've never regripped a club, I would start there. I would hate for you to get through the majority of a re-shaft only to be held up by burning through grip after grip trying to nail that down. Though that is unlikely, regripping is very straight forward with very little learning curve. Best of luck!

I understand performance to different specs. I was more worried about stability regarding the build itself.
