Suggestions welcome for reshafting Mizuno MX-23 irons

golf_freak · December 3, 2005

I currently have a set of MX-23s and would like to replace the stock TT S300 shafts with a lighter graphite alternative. While very consistent, I would like some more feel of the clubhead and maybe an extra 5~10 yds.

Could anyone recommend a brand name & model that fits this description?

Thanks.

Project X is a VERY smooth feeling graphite alternative shaft that is also lighter than the S300. I was amazed of how much 15 grams of shaft weight makes a difference in feel (heaviness wise).

There are many more qualified people than me on this site to answer this but I can give you my 2 cents. Before recommending a graphite shaft a person should know why your thinking of going to graphite shafts. If you are still an aggresive swinger and weight is your main concern, I would not say graphite is going to be the end all. Ball flight can be changed and distance can be gained by using other light weight steel shafts. The TT dynamic gold shafts are a bit demanding, so if you do have DG shafts, please try other options before you make your decision. Yes there are some great players who play graphite shafts but not a lot. I see that nippon has been mentioned. Nippon makes several different weight shafts that have great feel and are lighter weight. TT SL also comes to mind. I have never been a fan of Rifle shafts because they seem to feel hollow to me yet I know theres many who love them. Also can you hit your 3 and 4 iron well? If not you shouldnt really worry about more distance. Lofts are all over the map now a days so if your buddy is hitting an 8 and you are hitting a 7, check their lofts and see if thats the difference. Do some checking before you make a switch. Theres just to many options to give up completely on steel. G

NS Pro 950s or the Proforce RV2 95 or 115. Not too expensive and immediate 1 club dist more. I've made the switch. Gives u the option to go 0.25-0.5 in more also without feeling too heavy also.

Thanks for the leads. Could you tell me how much it cost for you to reshaft, or how much to expect?
