Paderson Kinnetix Iron shaft-how is it?

tekman · October 2, 2019

I've been looking at getting a graphite Iron shaft for my Callaway UT 3 driving iron. The Paderson intrigues me.

Seems to have an interesting profile. It seems to have a Mid/High ball flight, Mid Kick point, which I prefer. Just unsure if they play true to flex or stiffer or softer.

Can anyone share their first hand reviews of this shaft?

Thanks!

Following, I've looked at them, but never swung one. Thinking about buying one and giving it a go! They are pricey though !

Following as I've been wondering about this as well.

I have been using the Paderson irons shafts for the past 3-4 years.

I started with the 110 gram KINETIXX® 110G stiff flex in my 4,5 hybrids, and also in the 6-SW ( 8 shafts total).

My impresion is they play true to flex, and match the spec as listed (mid flex/mid kick).

I experimented with the KINETIXX® LIMITED EDITION 110G in the 6-PW as I wanted a firmer tip section because I have a very late realease that workes better with a stiffer tip section for accuracy.

The Limited Editions definately are firmer in the mid and tip sections, but not too much.

I was going to put them in the 4 and 5 hybrids, and the Gap and sand wedges, but left them installed as is.

Still tempted to put the limited editions in my gap and SW.

The LW has a 125 gram UST Recoil wedge shaft as I like a heavier feel and I had been using them prior to the Padersons.

If you are coming from steel (Dynamic gold 125 gram shaft) and want more of that profile/flex then go with the Limited Edition.

Or you have a quiker transition and agressive swing then the Limited Edition would be the one.

If you want something a little bid "softer" for a smoother more even transiton/tempo, then go with the Kinetixx 110s.

They have even lighter weight iron shafts too..

I have been playing various high end ($$) graphite iron shafts for over 20 years and these are one of the best for my swing. I have been tempted to try other grahite shafts, but the Paderson's are still in my bag.

When several other better players have hit them (in particular the Limited Edition), they are quite surprised and pleased.

Thanks for the reply. I'm playing X100 AMT's in my irons and like them, considering the 4 iron shaft is around 100 grams with an additional lead plug I inserted in my current set, I was thinking the 110 IRT30 in S flex is probably fine since I do want a higher ball flight on the 3 UT iron, providing I can still hit it low when needed. I just wasn't very sure if they play soft at which point I'd go IRT40. My 5 iron with X100 goes 200 in the air. So what that equatest to I'm not sure, but their specs say IRT30 is 100-105 Driver swing speed equivalent 110 on the high end. My driver speed is 108-113 pretty consistently. I figured at 48 years young the IRT30 is probably the best bet.

You can get them individually direct from Paderson for $80, it's the near $30 cost for shipping one shaft I find a bit off putting. Golfworks doesn't have the 110 model.
