is there a Royal Precision iron shaft similar to a Dynalite?

[headcase59]

I need a higher launching iron shaft. I've always been a low ball hitter and I want to see what a higher launch shaft in my irons will do for me. I've tried going to a reg flex but it still doesn't make that much of a difference and it causes me to lose some control. I've never had much luck with True Temper shafts and was wondering if Royal Precision has something in a stiff flex with a higher launch that anyone has tried and can give me some feedback?

 

thanks

The Microtaper was pretty soft in the tip but what I would recommend is visiting a Certified Rifle Center. They have access to blank lengths for each flex and can custom cut you a set of high launch Rifles in whatever flex you want. It's pretty easy to do actually.

 

Otherwise, you can try Project X HL's. They have a much softer tip/long parallel section than standard Rifles and kick the ball up plenty.

Golfkahuna,

I'm also a low ball iron hitter and I've owned sets with Dynalite Gold S300, Rifle 5.0 and Rifle 5.5. All three gave me very similar trajectories and definitely got the ball up higher than DGS300 sets that I've played. Considering what I've learned about Rifle shafts since frequenting forums like this one (they often frequency all over the place) I suppose it's possible that my Rifles were significantly stiffer or softer than stated flex. I really enjoyed playing both standard and TFR Rifles but if I ever own a set again I will absolutely take Dyno's advice and have it done at a certified Rifle center with a good reputation (and I'd make them check the true flex in front of me). You didn't mention interest in other shafts but I thought I'd tell you that Nippons are another very good option if you're trying to get a higher flight, after playing mine for awhile now I really don't think I'll own any other steel shaft.
