Hey guys,

I will be honest, I am very familiar with the products of the big name golf companies in both the U.S. and overseas, however It is hard for me on my own to figure out what is best for me.

I'm around a 15 handicap currently. I used to be much better until I reached a point in my life when I didnt play a single round for over 4+ years and then had an injury and had to have a shoulder reconstructed. I'm a smaller guy that doesnt have much power behind my swing and has an average swing speed in the 85-90mph range. I would like to speed up my swing, but I simply dont have the best range of motion or power to do so. I have figured out drivers and woods that work for me (burner superfast 2.0) but I cannot seem to figure out irons. The only thing I know for sure is that I do not want to be playing steel shafts and I like a real rubbery/sticky grip.

Should I be looking at stiff or regular graphite shafts? Any in particular? I would like to add some distance to my shots. I drive in the 200yd range with an every so often bomb in the 220-235 range. Before I switched to the superfast I was around 180-190 with an occasional 200yd drive.  I hit the RBZ and it didnt work for me at all, the r11s was good, but not as good as the superfast 2.0, my swing speed is also faster with the 2.0, and even though the clubs are long, I can still hit them consistently and feel comfortable.

Any recommendations on irons and shafts? I have the chance to hit nearly anything, and I dont really care what the cost is. I want to improve my game now that I am able to play much more frequently.

Thanks

    • 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.
