I purchased a set of TT tx90 shaft pulls on ebay. The set had 12 shaft pulls. If they are not marked, how do I figured out which shaft does into which club?

The shafts are listed as the following lengths. I generally play my clubs 1/2" longer then stock. I assume that given the fact that there are 12 shafts they are 2-LW. The seller stated they were standard length clubs. I will be putting these into a set that is 4-pw and two additional wedges. What are the ill effects of taking the 3 iron shaft and placing it into my 4 iron, it will give me the extra 1/2" that I am looking for, but what are the side effects? It should be noted that my swing speed with a 6 iron is 83-88MPH which puts me right inbetween a regular and a stiff shaft. The shafts i purchased are stiffs.

38 3/4 ", 37 3/4 ", 37 1/4", 36 3/4", 36 1/4", 35 3/4"

35 1/4 ", 34 7/8 ", 34 1/2", 33 1/4", 33 1/8", 33"

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

doing some research, if I want the clubs to play a half inch longer, it would be soft stepping the clubs. This might not be a problem because these are stiff shafts and my swing speed is ideal to a regular shaft. However the high ball flight might just get higher, and would be too high.

Thoughts?

From what I've heard soft stepping once will soften the flex by about 1/3 of a flex, perhaps so little that you wouldn't notice. You can also get shaft extensions that go into the butt for a couple of bucks a club if you want to get the extra length without softstepping.

edit: if you regularly play R flex maybe you want to softstep twice and cut them 1/2 inch.

according to my golf instructor my swing speed puts me at the upper range of the R flex, so going with a soft stepped Stiff flex might help. My only concern is if I am using a soft stepped stiff flex with a high launch like the TX90 will my ball flight be too high?

If you put the 3i shaft into the 4i that is called "soft stepping". It will soften the flex of the shaft by approximately a 1/3 to a 1/4 of a flex and give you a higher ball flight.

    • 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)
