I am considering getting a new iron set and I really like the TaylorMade r7 irons. I have so far only tried them with a regular flex steel shaft, true temper-something I believe. Looking at Golfsmith's website and the Custom Club Fitting, I see there's a looot of choices regarding shaft model.

Basically, should I care about exactly what brand I get (like T-step 90 by TT, Precision Tour Flighted Rifle or Nippon NS Pro 950), or mainly just focus on getting the right stiffness? I have so far only tried Regular, and really enjoyed them. But I will try some Stiff ones aswell, just to compare. I see all the different shaft models got different launch, varying from mid-high, mid to low launch. Now again, I have no idea what would be the best for me, but I guess a high launch would make it easier for the high handicapper?

I am hitting the balls quite good and they are not "all over the place", so I do feel quite a difference between the different iron brands and shaft types. As said, regular steel shaft with regular height felt very good. But since I am getting a new set of clubs, I really wanna get what's best for me and not leave any options out.

Thanks in advance. All help appreciated.

Yeah, I am keeping an eye on Ebay. Did some tests on my swing speed today, and it turns out it's around 90-95 mph roughly. Means a Regular steel shaft should be quite good for me I guess. And I think I'll just go for the stock shaft as you recommend. Save a few bucks!

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.

      Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      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.
