Can someone please explain to me the science behind re-shafting a club? I have the TaylorMade r7 SuperQuad with the65g Stiff ReAX Shaft, and then I have the TaylorMade forged TB/MB irons with the x100 stiff steel shafts. I keep on reading about project 5.5 and 6.0, then 45g shafts that make you swing faster. Im just very confused on the topic and how to go about finding out (a) more about them and (b) if switching shafts would help. Any insight would be great!

You should not reshaft the driver--the REAX is one of the best shafts out there. As for project x--they are overrated anyways. If they were soo much better than regular steel shafts everyone on tour would switch to them.

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

It is a matter of choice and feel. I suggest that you go to each respective website. Concentrate on things like:

1) Torque 2) Weight 3) Kick point Then, go find a reputable fitter, not a store, and set up an appointment. Tell him the make of irons and driver you have and the shafts that interest you. He should be able to set these up for you and you can test them on a launch monitor. Once there, look for these things: 1)Launch Angle 2)Ball Speed 3)Spin Rate He will be able to make a solid recommendation with your input. He or she can also adjust your clubs to your playing style. Hope this helps.

Two things I forgot. From this, you should get a ball recommendation and grip type and placement. They both will improve on your playing ability.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:

      Ugly elbow in question
    • gestate0560
      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
