Im currently piecing together a set of irons from various places when I find them at a good price. All I have left is the 5 iron. I found one at a very good price but it happens to be a senior flex I was wondering would it be worth picking up or will it be a total waste of time? I was trying to read online what a senior flex would do to my game and I found a chart where it related the distance of your drive to the proper shaft selection. I can drive in the upper 200's. So can anyone help me out here?

Am I missing something?? According to your Sig you have 19 clubs in your bag....how can you have 19 clubs with no 5i?!?! I'm also unsure of what you need help with? I guess the best help I can offer is out of the 19 clubs that you have....which ones do you feel most comfortable with? Sell the ones you do not feel comfortable with and go from there. You have some nice clubs.....not sure what you really need. Maybe lessons?

I have all the clubs in my sig except the 5 iron. I decided to upgrade my old clubs and what I decided upon was the ones I wrote in my sig. Well i currently have all of them and the last club I need to complete everything is an X-22 5 iron. I would shop on ebay, pro shops, etc and find the clubs at a good price and purchase them. Well the last club to complete my iron set is the 5 iron. Does that clear it up at all?

looks like youve already got a 5 hybrid, not sure why you would need a 5 iron too. That 5 hybrid is going to be much easier to hit, given your listed handicap.

It makes sense. My next question I guess is....do you need a 5i? You have a 5h and you may find that you're not missing the 5i all that much. I played 36 holes that last 2 days and used my 5i about 3 times......and could have gotten away with not using it at all......

If you want one then yes...buy the one you have you eyes on and re-shaft it. SHouldn't cost a lot at all.

I'd reshaft it with the standard X22 shaft in whatever flex you need. If you estimate that the cost will be higher than waiting to find another deal, then i'd keep looking around. I like to have matching shafts on my irons and wedges.

I do have all stiff shafts on the rest of the X-22's. How much does reshafting cost roughly? Ive never had it done but I figured it was pricey no?

Depends on the shaft. What shafts (brand) are on the other irons? Once you figure that out, call some local places and see what they can do it for. Probably shouldn't be too much......$20 including the cost of the shaft....but that's a rough guestimate...... When I break a shaft I use that as my excuse to buy new sticks.....

I have the regular Callaway steel shafts on the rest of them for now.

What would hitting a senior shaft do to my shot anyway?

Stiff shafts? So you don't have the standard uniflex X-22 shaft? Depeding on what shaft you have on your other irons, I would go with the stiff version of that one.

As kingface12 said, it depends on the shaft. example: A Dynamic Gold S300 is about 10$ while a Project X shaft is about 30$.

Yes you are so right it is the uni-flex shaft. I was reading something before I typed that and mistakenly wrote stiff my bad.

Shouldn't cost you more than $20 then for the shaft and labor. By having a senior flex on one of your irons and stiff on the others....it can really screw things up. The shaft in a club often times is BY FAR the most overlooked part of a golf club. It can mean the difference between a hook, slice, balloon, worm burner etc.... Match it up....trust me. You've gone this far in finally finding what you want at the cost you want....don't bail out now!! HAHA!!

You're right. I was just wondering if it would be a huge difference and it seems it is.

I am still confused why you've got so many redundant clubs in your bag. Having a 7 wood, 5H and 5 iron seems a bit dumb to me.

In the Bag: TaylorMade R11 TP - TaylorMade R7 TP TS - Cleveland Halo - TM TP 2009 3-PW - Vokey SM 52 - Vokey SM 60 - Rife Barbados CS - ProV1x
