Hey guys, just wondering something about my irons.

I've noticed after playing these irons for the last 3 months, a very significant decrease in my iron distance.

I bought these on a whim as they were exactly the clubs I was looking for - atleast for what I paid. Anyhow, I had my ol trusty 690cb w/ tt dg s300 shaft out the other day at the field and I was hitting from goal post to goal post which I think is about 120 yards. I pulled out my 755 which is a very similar club in design to the 690cb for the life of me a full swing would net me maybe 90 yds. The ball seems to jump really high up really fast and doesn't have as much forward momentum.

What the hell is a matter with me? How am I (20 hdcp) hitting my old irons with stiff shafts better than my new irons with r flex shafts? Are these shafts notorious for flexing a lot or kicking the ball up unusually high. I need my 120 yds back lol.

Edit: For what it's worth I have about a 90 - 92 mph swing speed / faster tempo.

Have you been fitted for shafts? I would recomend this. i just had it done and got new shafts in my irons. Still needed a stiff just a lighter stiff. May not help you very much. I know going and getting put on a launch monitor help me a ton though..

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
