So I've asked on numerous occasions about my Titliest Tri Spec shafts which are a lighter weight than S300's and I just want to know what you guys think...

If my driver swing speed averages about 90-93 mph, yet I hit stiff shafts irons much better (lower and longer) than regular flex, will I lose anything (distance, spin, etc) if I have my clubs reshafted from the R Flex Tri Specs to the S Flex S300?

I've found that I although I might not swing the club fast, I do exert a lot of force on my downswing and I think the R Flex Tri Spec shafts are causing my shots to ballon and even my head to torque too much.

A stiffer shaft may make you loose distance, yet it will allow you to control the ball more. As you know steel shafts have a very different feel to them. Try out multiple shafts and see which you feel most comfortable with.

It's possible you are swinging you irons much faster (in relation to you driver SS) I know I do. But to say balooning- im not sure, maybe. Try finishing lower with your swing, that should promote a lower flight, and see if that helps any.

Do you know what your iron swing speed is? My driver swing speed is also low to mid 90s and I play R300s. My 5 iron swing speed is high 70s, maybe low 80s (I have to measure it again). I have a set of MP-32s with S300s and seem to hit them a little lower, but probably not further. I have a smooth tempo so I'm better off with the regulars. It's possible that the Tri-Spec shaft may be a little weaker than a R300.

Yes, regular Tri-Spec to S300 would be a massive leap. Try out some shafts first to get a feel of what's right for you.

Hybrid: 585H 21 Degree

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
