Heavier weight graphite shafts for utility 4i? What's out there?

[wam78]

Hello Fine Community!

 

Hopefully some other gear nerds can help a brother out.  I'm looking to build a 4 iron as a utility with a graphite shaft.  Not an actual utility iron, but a more forgiving iron.  Will be a Wilson D7 forged.  I'm looking for a graphite shaft that has some weight to it and not sure what options are out there.  Currently playing modus 125s in my irons and love them!  If I can stay around 115 to 110 grams with some stability that would be amazing.  Only options I have found are Accra icwt 2.0 has a 115 gr option and KBS tgi has a 110 option.  Anything else out there I should look into?  If I go lighter, the difference will throw off my timing and tempo.  I tend to get the pulls.

 

What I'm looking for out of this iron is to be able to flight it off the tee for position, long par 3's and gap between my 5 wood and 5 iron.  My distance is right at 205-210 in the air.  5 wood is right around 220 and 5 iron is around 190 on avg.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tensei pro white hybrid comes in 80/90/100 grams, i think there is a orange shaft in the same weight range.

 

steel fiber have shafts from 90/110/115/125 g shafts, might have more options now been years since I checked them out.

 

Hzrdus Hybrid shafts have 80/90/105g shafts as well.

This is great.  Thank you!

Could also try and get your hands on a Recoil Proto 125.

I always forget about recoil

I have the recoil protos in my old set.  Very solid and heavy shaft with lots of feel.  Higher launching and spinning though.  OP, I would recommend looking into the KBS hybrid proto 105x.  Heavy, very stable and anti-left.  I normally play a draw and it's tough for me to hook it unless I quit on it and shut the face hard.  I've tested the Ventus Black 105x and the IZ 95x and they are both solid contenders as well.  KBS proto and Ventus Black being the lower launching option while the IZ will launch a tad higher and spin more.

Kbs hybrid 105 is a very solid shaft.

Go "old school" and pick up an Aldila NV 105 hybrid shaft from ebay.

I should have added, my ball flight is a high fade naturally.  I definitely don’t like to see the ball go left unless it’s on purpose.

 

The kbs Proto sounds promising.  What’s the bend profile on it?

I’m all for old school.  For some reason Aldila and I have a not so good relationship...haha

If you must stay in the 110-115 gr range you can take a look at the MMT 105 TX shaft. 113gr

It's very tip stiff hence the low/low profile.

Mitsubishi MMT 105 (115g in TX).

[wam78]

Not sure how I forgot about mmt 105.  The weight seems about perfect to transition into something lighter but too much of a drop off to disrupt timing.

[wam78]

Anyone have experience with Accra iCWT 2.0?  I used the first Gen 105x, but curious how the 2.0 might play in comparison to the mmt 105 tx and kbs Proto.  

They seem to be the top 3 from knowing what works for me and the weight options.

On the pricey side, but I absolutely love my Ventus Blue HB 9x (95g) hybrid shafts. Have them in a Mizuno HMB 4 iron and 2 iron.
