Best Combo for Bringing Flight Down

[MackGolfer]

Hi all, 

 

Wanting to bring my trajectory down with irons. What would people suggest is the best head/shaft combo for this in the distance category? 
 

Appreciate blades probably technically the best but not good enough to hit them! 
 

Also I understand everyone will react differently etc but just as a rough idea. 
 

Thanks.

Something with a higher CG.  Ping i525 should do the trick at power spec loft.  Loft can help control flight.  Shaft will not unless you can find a shaft that allows you to lead with your hands more (only your feels can dictate that).

I've found heavier weight shafts are best for lowering trajectory. Also, I believe that to achieve lower trajectory smaller head size is helpful.

i agree with Tree above, but if you dont want to spend money on instruction and go the true WRXer way and lead with the wallet believing its the arrow not the indian ...

 

looking at Project X Rifle 6.0, KBS C Taper or DG S300 is a great place to start.

I made the mistake of buy blades and DG X100 shafts thinking it would lower my ball flight. I was very wrong. It turns out I'm a very high spin player. The blades ended up hurting my flight. On short irons I was spinning the ball so much I ended up losing distance and it made playing into wind very difficult. After finally going to a fitter i found that I needed a lower spinning head (players distance type of iron) and a low spin shaft. I have a set of Srixon ZX5 MK2 with KBS C Taper 130X on order. My flight was brought was down and my spin number are much better in the fitting bay. I will update when I get them on the course.
