SteelFiber i95cw (R) in irons and KBS HiRev 2.0 (r) in my 54 & 58 PM 2's

When the SM7's are in it's DG S200's 

I think about putting SF 110 (R) in my Vok's, but I don't want to spent the money.

Maybe this summer...but I'd rather spend the $110 on rounds of golf. and I like the KBS feel in those PM's

Bill, my old friend ... I have Recoil 110s in my 4-9 and Dynamic Gold in all 4 wedges.  I have always been amazed that I find no difficulty going from one to the other seamlessly.  Same setup for almost 8 years now.  Hope that Wisconsin winter is treating you well.

I did for about 10 years after original switch to graphite shafts in my irons (95-100gm shafts).   Although it more about being lazy (not wanting to reshaft the wedges) than about a particular preference.   But the heavier weight in the wedges compared to my irons wasn't a problem so there was no real incentive to reshaft them either.   When I finally did break down and reshaft the wedges with graphite (110 gm), I did like the feel a bit better but can't say it really had any noticeable impact on the performance.

About this time last year I went from X100 to MMT125TX in my irons but kept the S400 (8-iron) in the wedges. It was a seamless transition from irons to wedges. After playing the irons for a while and noticing the lack of soreness when practicing with them I decided to do the same with the wedges. I 'Tiger stepped' the wedges with MMT125TX 8-iron shafts and haven't regretted it a bit. I haven't seen a discernible difference in any aspect of performance except the lack of tenderness in the joints after a short game practice session.

 

 

The answer to better golf is hit it better, farther, and make more putts.

Same guy, just older.  Hope all is well with you.

Yes I see you are not using xx shafts anymore😗  You want to play golf sometime? Where are you Arizona? Maybe I'll go on a little trip sometime? I remember you sent that eta out and trusted I'd pay later...👃
