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!

      When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.

      Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight.

      Cobra 3D Printed Irons

      By mchepp ·

      I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
