I didn't know people put graphite shafts in irons ... I thought that was only for seniors, women, and children. ... oh yeah, and Rich Beem.

Man, I can't imagine spending that much for iron shafts. I got my Rifle graphite shafts on ebay for $40 for the SET.

I have played both the UST shaft and the Aldila NV shaft you list. I like the UST shaft better. I just felt I could make adjustments, hit it a little harder, higher lower etc and get the results I expected. Sometimes the NV shaft seemed to exaggerate differences more than the amount of change I felt I was making. I do not have a problem either slicing or hooking normally so I cannot comment on that aspect. My ball speed is in the 130-135 range normally so if you are a long hitter probably not good shafts.

I'm not sure if they are similar, but the NV hybrid shaft feels very dull and heavy in my hands.

I would also suggest staying away from the NV, never hit the irons, but the woods gave me very incosistent results..

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
