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 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
