I am convinced I need new iron shafts

doyleaf · April 20, 2008

Ok, I am finally convinced I need new iron shafts...

The current setup:

Currently I play Nike Pro Combo OS irons with regular-flex (stock) speed step shafts.

Swing speed is approx 82mph and distance is 165yds for a 6 iron.

When I swing slow (better word: smooth), no issues. Any time I try to jump on a ball, it turns over left while in mid-air.

I hit them about mid trajectory, wouldn't mind a bit higher though.

So my question is this:

What iron shafts out there are better for me to be playing? Would a stiff flex be better because of the left issue on shots I jump on? Would a lighter shaft be better for a higher flight?

So far I have looked at the TX-90s, Project X Flighted and High Launch, and Dynalite Gold SL S300.

I am worried that the PX will be too stiff and fly too low.

I am worried that the DLs will be too light.

I think the TXs are the same as the speed steps, but I am not sure.

Any input or ideas? Help me out...

Is that your ss with 6 iron or driver??

6 iron

Driver SS is 90-95

really tough to fit for shafts without seeing you swing. Come see me at Fidds. I'm there just about every day. Ill be happy to give you my opinion. With driver SS of 90-95 and a smooth tempo, you could get away with r flex speed step. however, with your tendency to miss left, we could try a stiff in a couple of shafts.
