I bought a STi2 6 iron with the Maltby MPF Pro series shaft in stiff to compete with my TE Forged 5 iron with Dynamic Gold R300. I like the way the MPF shaft feels, but I personally did not see greater distance with graphite.

Did you add a tip weight or lead tape? Maybe you need just a bit more heft?

I don't have a shop setup to build clubs so I had the Golfworks build the club as follows:

MA0317 RH #6 LOFT AT 28 AND LIE 1/2 DEGREE FLAT

ASSEMBLE MA0317 #6, MA0292 S, LK0139, 54PIS
FINISHED PLAY LENGTH 38 INCHES
SHAFT GRAPHICS: UP AND GRIP GRAPHICS DOWN
SWINGWEIGHT D1

I didn't experiment with adding any extra weight beyond the build. I thought the shaft actually felt fantastic. I don't object to the lighter weight, but it just didn't offer any additional performance beyond what I already had.

Maybe the TE and Dynamic Gold just work for me? I'm not sure why. Health wise I just turned 40 this year and feel great. I've been hitting the bicycle hard and am in the best shape in many years.

These are not bad shafts - https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Graphite-Matrix-Ozik-Program-F15-85-Iron-Shafts/401701727759?hash=item5d8749ee0f:g:JuwAAOSwJ4hcWd6X

I played a set of 115s over the summer and they were completely satisfactory.

Did you build the clubs? I'm curious about the tip trimming instructions.
